"Reports from every section of the west substantiated the conclusion that tho present lock of control is destructive of those re- sources. ...

Replying to contentions of Sen ator Brookhart, an Iowa Republican prohibitionist that the newspapers had organized some sort of "racket" against dry organizations because they had refused or neglected to "buy FpE.ce," Senator Metcalf confined his statement to accounts of testimony before his committee on the bill to permit four per cent beer. Metcalf, chairman of the commit tee, said "the press associations and correspondents representing news papers before this committee have reported these hearings as fairly as possible but if It Is true that there Is some sort of news racketeering going on I want to invite those or ganize 1 ions who have such evidence to present it to this committee." "it should be thoroughly under stood by both sldeB," he added, "that the witnesses presented tHus far have been called by the proponents of this (beer) bill and that direct testimony has naturally all been 'in favor of it.
