Liquor Act.
(Ananrlated Presi Leased Wire,)
WASHINGTON, April 13 A pha
lanx of statistics was marshaled
he Foro tlie HeniUe prohibition corn
mil (oe today by the wets hi an ef
fort to show that drunkenness has
Increased under the bone dry law.
Itnsiiming their side of the case
after a day's interlude devoted to
dry testimony, (he wet leaders put
on the stand Stanley Shirk, re
search director of the moderation
league, who produced scores of
charts, maps and statistical tables
from which he deducted that in -157
cities and towns arrests for drunk
enness increased from 257,974 in
the first year or prohibition to 565,
U2fi in 1924, four years later.
In 350 places, according to these
figures, arrests for drunkenness to
taled .',06,737 In 1914 and 498,752
in 1924.
Sobriety Not Promoted.
"When we consider that drunk
enness generally has already in
creased to the pre-prohihiUon level,
and that drunken drivers and
drunken children have increased
far above anything ever known be
fore in this country," said Shirk,
"we cannot escape the conclusion
that tin; Volstead Act has utterly
Tailed to do what H was intended
to do, namely, promote temperance
nnd sobriety.
"Moreover, since conditions have
become worse, not better, each
year and with the 'next generation'
drinking as never before, there
sppms to be no hope that (he Vol
stead Act ih its present drastic
form will accomplish its purpose
in the long run.
Modified Law Needed.
"From experience, before nation
al prohibition of the states which
bad restricted laws, from the ex
perience of (lie whole count rv dur
ing the restrictive years 1918-1 !)19
nnd from the experience of the
Canadian provinces, ve believe
that a greater degree of temper
ance ran he attained by a wise re
strictive law than by a bone dry
law which dos not command the
respect of a large part of the peo
ple. "We are also of the firm convic
tion that such a policy of wise re
st ruction would have she incidental
advantage nf eliminating almost,
entirely the scandalous corruption
and bribery of public officials,
would stop the growth of the boot
legging millionaire class, would
check disrespect for law, and
would in addition produce a hand
some national revenue."

publican. Oklahoma, the only mem
ber of the committee present at
that time.
Drunken Drivers Increase.
Resuming his statement, Mr.
Shirk said that perhaps "the most
curious result of national bone dry
ness is the remarkable increase of
number of drunken drlvPis."
"The police departments of the
principal cities have been inter
rogated ami many which classify
arrests for operating a vehicle
while intoxicated have responded
to our Inquiry." he addfjd. Tbese

Senator Eddy's Committee
at Salem Learns Views
of Business Men.
THREE RS NEGLECTED
Teachers, Criticised For
Non-Essentia! Excess,
in Turn Put Blame .
on Colleges.
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
SALEM, Ore., April 13. That
high school graduates today are
inadequately equipped when It
comes to spelling, punctuation and
similar fundamentals of education
was declared by local business men
appearing at the open hearing of
the state commission on public
school curricula revision, held at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
here last night. Stenographers,
bookkeepers and other employes
who should be proficient in the
three Rs which were drilled Into
the youth of a generation ago, to
day cannot be depended upon along
the same lines. It was declared by
business men, who cited examples,
from their own experience to show
what they meant.
Most of the interrogation at the
hearing was done by State Senator
13. L. Eddy of Roseburg, at whose
instigation the commission was ap
pointed with a view to drawing up
a bill for presentation at the next
session of the state legislature.
Teachers Disagree With Eddy
Local teachers appearing before
the commission admitted weakness
es in the present school system,
but declared that in the main the
schools are on the right course. J.
C. Nelson. Salem high school prin
cipal, declared that if, as reported,
high school graduates are largely
unable to pass college entrance ex
aminations in Oregon, the fault is
with the colleges, who furnish the
teachers for the high schools. Sen
atoj Eddy's contention that the
school curriculum is overloaded
with nonessentials, with the re
sult thai the most necessary parts
of education are neglected, was
generally disagreed with by the
teachers.
Other open hearings will be held
In various parts of the state before
the bill for presentation to the 1927
legislature is drawn up. In addi
tion to Senator Eddy, the commis
sion consists of Dr. George H. Al
lien of Willamette University,
chairman, and Dr. C. J. Smith of
Portland, secretary.
