WETSJS VOICED
Modification, of Prohibi
tion Laws 'Opposed at
Committee Hearing
WASHINGTON, Apr. 20 W Vig
orous opposition to any modification
of the prohibition laws was expressed
before a senate Judiciary sub-committee
today by spokesmen for more
than 150 prohibitionists, mostly wom
en, who crowded the big committee
room.
Miss Vida Milholland, New York,
member of the woman's committee
for law enforcement, advocated with
drawing from the medical profession
the privilege of prescribing liquor.
"The medical profession," she said,
"Is one of the most honorable In
tho world, but facts prove that some
of Its members are no moro capable
of withstanding the bootlegger's
bribe than Individuals of other pro
fessions. .
"To exempt doctors any further
from obedience to tho 18th amend
ment Is to give a dangerous loophole
to the outlawed liquor traffic."
Cites New Jersey
Mrs. A. Haines Lipplncott, Cam
den, N. J., chairman of the New Jer
sey committee of the women's na
tional committee for law enforce
mjent, said:
"New Jersey has an unsavory repu
tation in regard to the enforcement
of the 16th amendment. . . .
"As a life long resident of New
Jersey, I can testify that conditions
as far as liquor is concerned are In
finitely better than before prohibi
tion. ...
"We citizens have just been too
indifferent in the elections of of
ficials, and too disinterested In the
appointment of others who have en
forcement under control, , to make
conditions as they should be In New
Jersey."
Cause of Divorce
Mrs. Richard Aldrlch, New York,
said "drinking brings divorce." She
said she had "never known of a di
vorce between two drys."
There was applause as Mrs. Jesse
W. Nicholson, president of the na
tional women's Democratic law en
forcement league, asserted:
"This country Is dry. Make no
mistake about that. And If there Is
any doubt about It let one of the
political parties again name a wet
candidate for president In 1032, and
the constitutional men and women
of this country will give them such
a licking as they never dreamed of,
and 1028 won't be a circumstance."
"The time has come In America,"
Mrs. Nicholson continued, "for Democ
racy to choose between America and
the constitution on tho one side and
of nullification and the wets on the
other. Let us give prohibition a
chance. Tho wets have had their
day and failed."
Mrs. Leigh Colvln, of New York,
president of the Women's Christian
Temperance union of New York state,
said prohibition ."has been,, a de
cided success. , But politicians have
failed. Wealthy men who have made
money In the manufacture of liquor
and those who expect to turn In
dustrial alcohol plants into the manu
facture of beverage alcohol by the
repeal of prohibition those have
failed."
RESOLUTION GIVEN HOOVER
WASHINGTON, Apr. 20 (P) Repre
sentatives of the women's national
committee for law enforcement to
day presented to President Hoover
a resolution declaring they would not
support "a dry candidate on a wet
platform" of either party.
MORE ARGUMENTS
AGAINST BONUS
ARE HEARD TODAY
(Continued From Page One)
government can afford for veterans
should be spent on disabled veterans.
"I appear also as a taxpayer. When
I see 26 per cent of the national bud
get going to veterans relief, I Want
to know why it Is necessary'"
Castle said "we believe the veterans
are badly led."
I don't mean within their organ
ization," he added.
"Why was It that Just after tho
American Legion convention voted
down the bonus a member of con
gress annou:nced immediately that
he would Introduce a bill for cash
paymont of tho bonus?
"I think tho American peoplo aro
willing to pay for the care of dis
abled veterans, but If history Is any
criteria, payment of tho bonus .now Is
only the beginning of a Juggornaut
that will lead to hysteria."
Captain Knowlton Durham, another
Independent veteran who accompani
ed Castle, said "if congress had In
tended making a cosh payment be-
foro 1045, it would have written the
law differently."
Castle favored eliminating Interest
on veteran certificate loans. Durham
suggested the Interest might bo re
duced to what the loan money cost
the government.

Litters of Pigs
Average 10 Each
On Wallowa Farm
By O. C. Meek
Observer Correspondent)
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Chris
Jackson, of Diamond prairie, no doubt
holds the record for this community
with the largest number of pigs from
a herd of six sows at his farm. Tho
six sows have average litters of ten
pigs each, all getting an excellent
start.
Frank Walker, of Leap, has been
moving a part of his machinery from
Trout creek to the W. F. Brock farm
about two miles southeast of here,
which he leased recently. He expects
to complete the balance of his mov
ing as fast as weather conditions will
permit.
A few people of this community
have been able to got some of theii
early gardens plowed and a small
amount of planting done during the
past week.
C. W. Marshall, of Wade point, re
cently finished a wood Job on which
he has been working a good part of
the winter and spring. A number of
carloads of wood were shipped to La
Grande and a considerable amount
sold locally. Frank Mingel, of La
Grande, has been helping him during
the past several . weeks.
Roy Gastln was at the John Bales
farm on Parsnip creek the early part
of the week for a load of feed grain.
Poultry keepers and dairymen of
this community keenly feel the ox
treme low point which has been
reached in the prices of both classes
of products during the past few
weeks. Prices being paid for sweet
cream here the last of the week are
the lowest ever received here accord-v
ing to some who have been In the
dairy business for many years. On
Saturday of this week the price was
15c per pound for butterfat. Egg
prices aro also a few cents below
those of a year ago. Some of tho lo
cal stores are still holding the price
to 10c per dozen, while others are
paying 0c, both prices being In trade.
Reports state that the surplus being
shipped out Is selling at 8c per dozen.
Ordering of baby chicks has been
done by a few of the farmers. Most
of those placing their orders expect
to have their chicks arrive around the
first of May In hopes that weather
conditions will be more favorable for
getting the chicks outside by that
time.
F. H. Wetnhard, of Dry creek, was
helping L. W. Minor brand some of
his cattle on Whiskey creek Sunday.
Sam Meek and Earl Burchflold, of
Leap, were visitors in town the last
of the week.
L. W. Minor. has been moving his
cattle to pasturo In tho Whiskey
creek district. He reports the grass
nicely started there. He also reports
an unusually large number of tlckB
In evidence.
George W. Cherry and Mr. Searcy,
of ; Enterprise, were business visitors
In this end of the valley the early
part of the week.
Many of the sheep flocks of the
community are looking much better
since they have been placed on grcon
pasture. 'A lew weeks ago while the
sheep were being held on dry feed,
many . were suffering quite heavy
losses of the older ewos and many
weak lambs and more losses were also
suffered. The greater part of the
lambing has been finished here now.
From reports from a good many of
tho flock owners, It appears that
nearly 100 per cent has been saved
from the greater part of the flocks.
Early lambs are much smaller than
those of a year ago, accounted for
largely because last year many were
able to get their sheep on grass early
in March before the milk supply be
came short and checked tho rapid
growth of the lambs, which was the
case with many of tho early lambed
flocks this spring. Pool shipments of
lambs from this county will likely be
somewhat -later starting than for last
year as at least two months time will
be required yet before lambs from
many or the flocks will have reached
a good marketable size.
Mrs. James Corncllson has been
hired at a recont board meeting of
the Lone Pine school In district No.
40 as teachef. for the coming year.
Mrs. Cornellson Is at present teach
ing the Willow crbek Bchool, however,
with only a few pupils remaining In
that district plans are being made for
having them attend school In Wal
lowa next year. A number of the
rural districts have contracted with
their teachers for the coming year
and In most instances there has been
a considerable reduction in wages.
Roy Gastln reports that the greater
part of their flock of ewes have lamb
ed and while they have had very good
success In saving them, there has
been only three sets of twins from
the entire flock of near 100 head of
owes.
C. A. Hunter recently moved & part
of his cattle to early pasturo on his
Whiskey creek holdings whore the
grass is getting an excellent start.

H. B.Van Duzor, of Portland, Ore.,
oponed the lumbor drive, telling tho
committee that the lumber Industry
svas "desperate."
"Consider that 100,000 out of 140,-
000 men In our Industry are Idle'
said Van Duzor. "We look ahead
Tearfully to the fall and winter. , An
Import tax will only bo a measure
of relief." ,
W. B. Orooley, of Seattle repre
senting , the ' West Const Lumber
men's association, presented a do
tnllod program calling for the follow
'ng Import taxes:
On rough lumber of all soft wood
ipcclcs, $3 per 1000 feet board meas
ure. (Now freo).
On dressed lumber (planed on ono
jido or moro) of all soft wood species
6 per 1000 feet board measure.

On cross arms, shingles, lath, han
dles, turnery and fence posts, 25
per cent ad valorem. (Now freo).
Would Yield $20,300,000
Qrceley estimated the lumber tax
schedulo ho proposed would ytold
;20,&00,000 revenue annually.
"What has happened since 1030
whon wo wrote tho tariff bill to cause
thin demand for nrotcctlon?" asked
Senator Couzcns (It., Mich.)
Terrific shrinkage In our homo
consumption together with heavy
ihrlnkago in foreign demands duo
to depreciated currencies and the
British and French tariffs have left
as Hat," replied Orcoloy.
"That la why wo hove from 76.000
to 100,000 unemployed. It has Just
reached the point whero our Industry
is going to plccos.
"Across tho border our Canadian
neighbors aro going full steam. Cnn
adft enjoys a preferential rate under
tho British tariffs."
Replying to Senator Thomas (R.,
Ida.) the witness said the tax rates
"will glvo us a largo shnro of tho
domestic market and materially re
duce unemployment."
45 I'cr Cent on Free 1.1st
Under questioning Gfreoloy con
ceded that tho tariff commission had
refused to change the rate on lumbor.
Ho added, howovcr, that 45 per cent
of forest products aro now on the
freo list and boyond tho Jurisdiction
of tho torllf commission.
"Tho lumber industry of Canada
frankly declares," aald Orccley, "that
tho entlro British Empire is Its
domestlo market. American lumber
will be excluded therefrom by nign
nrefercntlal tariffs.
"Depreciated exchange is Canada's
powerful weapon for wrcBtllng other
emort markets irom American i
bcr products. To the extent the
American producer sells In such mar
kets. It can only be at the ruinous
prices established by Canada's lower
cost of production and transporta
tion.
"At the same time, Canada retains
an American market for 30 to 35
per cent of her lumber production.
