TUT. MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST - 1, 1917. 3 SENATE WILL VOTE TODAY ON DRY BILL Marrow Margin Either Way on Two-Thirds Majority Aj Will Decide Measure. DEBATE IS PERFUNCTORY .Proposed Constitutional Amendment, if Approved by Senate, Must Be . Passed by House Kefore Go In; to States for Vote. WASHINGTON, July 31. The Sen ate's discussion of the resolution for a prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution proceeded today in a vein largely perfunctory. A vote is to be taken late tomorrow. In contrast to other notable prohibi tion fights In Congress In recent years, there was only a small attendance during- the day on the floor or In the gal leries. Prepared speeches were the rule and the session took on the tedi ous aspect of routine proceedings as Senator after Senator read into the record without Interruption or contra diction his reasons for supporting or opposing the resolution. Tonight both wets and drys were claiming enough votes to insure them victory tomorrow, but on both sides it was admitted that the vote would be close. Jt will take the votes of two thirds of those present for adoption of the resolution, which then will have to pass the House before an amendment is submitted to the states for ratification. Legal arguments were made against the proposal by Senators Lodge and Hardwick, both of whom contended to day it would be a dangerous step for the Federal Government to assume the police powers over liquor exercised hitherto by the states. Senator Lodge also contended that passage of the amendment would be a backward step in the temperance campaign and would delay the coming of complete absti nence of alcohol. Question May Be Party Isnue. Speaking for the resolution. Senator Jones, of Washington, declared that if an amendment were not submitted to the people, Nation-wide prohibition soon would become a party issue. Sen ators Thompson and Sherman were among others who supported the measure. -Senator Sheppard, author of the res olution, accepted an amendment by Senator Harding providing that the proposed constitutional amendment must be submitted to the states for ratification by July 1, 1923. Announce ment was made by Senator Stone that he would propose that before prohibi tion goes into effect the Government compensate property owners for dam ages to property resulting from its en forcement. Senator Stone said that if this and Senator Harding's proposals were accepted he would vote for the resolution. Lodge Opposes Plan. Senator Lodge told the Senate that lie believed adoption of the amendment would be "the worst thing that could be done to advance temperance." Senator Jones declared that should Congress refuse to give the people an opportunity to act now on prohibition, the Republican party, to which he be longs, would have to declare for pro hibition because it would be necessary for party success. "The people of the entire state force upon particular communities laws which they do not approve. This is done for the general good," said Sena tor Jones. "Why should this principle stop at state lines? The Constitution recognizes it." Adoption of a prohibition amendment would contribute more to final success and victory in the war than any other action that could be taken, declared Senator Thompson. Senator Sherman indorsed Senator Stone's suggestion re garding the compensating of property owners, but declared he intended to vote for the resolution "in any form in which it comes to a roll call." and president of the University of Washington, was arbitrator.
