WASHINGTON, D. C, March 9
Beer and wines are given the same
status as whisky under an opinion by
the attorney-general made public "Wed
nesday by the bnreau internal revenue.
The ruling, one of the most im
portant since the advent of prohibi
tion, makes it possible for all alec-1
holic liquors to be used for medicinal
and other non-beverage purposes and
for all to be manufactured and soM
for these purposes, subject only fo
limitations of the Volstead act on non
Leverage intoxicants. .
The opinion was written by former
Attorney-Generay Palmer.
Whether it will upset any regulations
of the revenue and enforcement bur-t-aus
had not been made known at this
time, Commissioner Williams saying
he had not an opportunity to study the
opinion. He said officials concerned
with the enforcement would prepare
at once to draft regulations.
There were many rumors that the
opinion had wrecked plans of dry ad
vocates to obtain further restriction of
liquor sales. Officials refused to com
ment on the reports, however, but
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the anti-saloon league, said "9
etates had state codes prohibiting the
prescribing of beer for medicinal purposes.

The Metric System
The rnetric system, which measures everything in
tens, is the logical basis for all human computations and
measurements. The reason for this is that all of us are
equipped with 1 0 fingers and 1 0 toes. From the time
we are taught to say "this little pig went to market,"
our attention is directed to our digits. We normally
count in tens.
Thus it would seem reasonable for this country to
adopt the metric system and do away with our clumsy
measurements of miles, pounds, bushels and gallons.
Bills are even now before both houses of congress pro
viding for such a change. All scientific work is done
metrically. The system is universally used on the con
tinent of Europe. Only England and the United States
lag.
To be sure, it would be a difficult thing to accustom
people to buy milk by the liter, to weigh goods by the
gram and measure distances by the meter. France,
when the system was put into effect there in the days
of the revolution, suffered some inconveniences for a
time. In fact, it was not until the period of the second
empire that its use Decame universal.
Two million Americans who recently took a not
able little journey to France are now more or less ac
customed to the metric system. If the change is ever to
be made in this country, this seems a good time. It will
not mean that work will be any easier, or that the cost
of living will come down. But it will mean that the
arithmetic of business will be greatly simplified. Our
money is already metric. Why not make our measure
ments of other things conform?
Any man will tell you that he gets inspiration
out of smoking, but other folk do not notice that he is
any smarter.
The sensitive woman who has a husband with de
ficient table manners is convinced that Job was a mere
piker in the patience game.
When a man follows a dozen women in line at a
cafeteria, he almost regrets that he voted for woman
. suffrage, especially if he has only half an hour for lunch.

If future immigration is to be as
similated into the fabric of Amer

remain practically alien, what poli
cies are to be pursued?
To find answers to these ques
tions. Miss KeMor points oat. means
that a vast amount of data must be
collected from American and for

competent body free from taint of
propaganda or of control by special
interest.
"What America needs," she says
again, "is not more technical regula
tions, not the extension of hard
ships, not the-erection of barriers
based on temporary expedients, but
a racial inventory and formulation
of policies, with such general pow
ers as will enable the government
to meet any situation as it arises.
And it needs more than all a policy
of assimilation which will cover the
reception, distribution and adjust

have assimilated the immigrants (

FARMERS WILL
PROTEST PHONE
RATE ADVANCE
George J. Hall, at one time manager
here of the Pacific Telephone com
pany, announced Wednesday that a
mass meeting will be called soon of
all lie rural telephone users in Cack
amas county for the purpose of enter
ing a protest over the recent telephone
rates, advance which went into effect
March 1.
Hall alleges that when the rural
lines were connected up with the Pa
cific switchboard here, a contract was
signed at that time between the Pa
cific company and rural lines
in effect that $5.40 a year
would be charged for each telephone,
with the understanding that if sub
scribers increased over 2000, a charge
would automatically go into effect of
$7.20 up to 3000 subscribers. It is
claimed that the present rural tele
phones do not total 2000 at present,
and that the rural line representatives
were not consulted before the raise
was granted by the public service com
mission. According to the increape granted a
few days ago by the public service
commission to the Pacific company,
rural telephone subscribers will have
to pay $9.00 per year, instead of $5.40,
the old rate. Nearly every subscru
er is protesting over the excessive and
exhortitant rates allowed, and it is es
pected that the mass meeting called to
take place here in a few days will see
every subscriber in attendance.
While there has been some talk of
a recall of the members of the com'
mission, nothing definite has been
done as yet, in the way of petitions,
but the Live Wires, at their next meet
ing, will face the situation in the form
of a resolution to be presented, and
will take action, it is reported.
