THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE HOUSE DELAYS ACTION ON PROHI REPORT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1925 LONERGAN RAPS ENFORCEMENT UNDER GOVERNOR Final action on the recommend fctions of the two factions o( thf legislature's special committee Burned to investigate the state prohibition director's department probably will not be taken until the North bill calling for aboli tion of the office and another scheduled to be introduced in the senate are acted op-u. Representative Lonergan, J member of the faction of the com niittee recommending abolishtneut of the office of time prohibition director, vehemently denounce! Ahe activities of the department in an address to prevail on th bouse to adopt his report. He scored the system of operation, the alleged waste of state funds, the attempt to "get something on vari ous candidates for offices, Seniuor McNary, Dr. Linville and others in office. .Representative Hurlburt, repre senting the other faction of the committee which recommended continuation of the department but with a new director, attacked Lonergan's argument. "Mr. Cleaver's off icerfl caught Lonergan bringing a bottle of brandy out of a place,' declared Hurlburt. "He declared It was for his wife, who was ill." Lonergan explained that th sheriffs and districts attorneys of the state were on record against the continuance of the depart ment. "They condemned the state pro bibltlon director and his depig ment as Interfering with law en forcement," he declared. "I am thoroughly satisfied that the trouble is not with the director himself, but with the departmenl. the governor and Herwig dictated. "What reason Is there for an anti-saloon league in Oregon where there has not been a saloon for nine years? There was no au thority for Cleaver turning over 1500 to Herwig. It never brought In one thing not one conviction. Almost the entire amount va spent In debauchery in houses of prostitution of Poitland and As toria, and In one Instance actually for immoral purposes. I am op posed to voting state funds to: buc i i) urn oses. "Herwig's collections included 5000 fur individuals and ?1.UU from the state prohibition depart ment. It was admitted in the in vestigation that some of this was Bpen in riotousness. Tbera are some who can see only one law and can't see the necessity of en forcement of others. Murder, rape, larceny are just as important is the prohibition law. "During two years of operation. It has not been so much the activ ity of the department to enforce the law as to getting officials in to trouble and trying to defeat candidates for election. Every thing George Cleaver did was in spired by Governor Pierce and Herwig. What if we do have an other director what will keep the next two years from being the lame as the last two." Lonergan went on to explain that "Tillie from Tillamook," was lent to try to obtain a bottle of liquor from Dr. Linville. fedr..l prohibition officer at Portland. He named Senator McNary as an other whom the state prohibition department had tried "to get.'' SENATE PASSES The senate yesterday afternoon passed six house bills as follow.?: H.

Appear ing before the bouse agricultural committee today, George N. Peek, president of the American Council of Agriculture, entered a protest over what he termed the domin ation of American agriculture by Secretary Hoover of the commerce department. The recommendations of the president's agricultural confer ence, the witness said, contained nothing which had not already been formulated by Mr. Hoover and he quoted Mr. Hoover as hav ing said the function of the de partment of agriculture should end with farm production and preparation. Transportation and marketing, he declared, were held by Mr. Hoover to be the functions of his department.

Argument on the two proposi tions, which lasted through the greater part of two hours, was centered principally upon the bill Gargle Throat With Aspirin Clip This if Subject to Sore .Throat or Tonsilitis Prepare a harmless and effect ive gargle by dissolving two Bay er Tablets of Aspirin in four ta blespoonfuls of water.

A Few Months From Now Spring is but a few months away spring when the ground is made ready for the crops for which this sec tion is famous. So now, Mr. Farmer, is the time to decide upon what plans should be followed from planting time to harvest. We, here at the United States National, shall be glad to talk things over with you. With all our facilities and interest in your welfare, we certainly should work well together. to refer the question to the people, with Senators Eddy and Garland leading the fight against both ratification and submission. Ed dy, given the time of nine other senators, spoke on the bill for nearly half an hour. Senator Eddy, attacking both the bill and the resolution, as serted that to refer the question to the people would be a side stepping of duty by the legisla ture, and he branded as absurd the idea of referring lt to the people since failure of the amend ment before the legislatures of the United States was already assured. He also severely criticised con gress for proposing such an amendment, declaring it had en tered Into a game of passing the buck. The amendment Itself he at tacked on grounds that it was too sweeping In its provisions to re ceive serious consideration. Enough senators gave Eddy their time that he had 30 minutes to speak lnstetad of the five allowed under a senate nil. Hardship On Farmers Eddy emphasized the hardship which the amendment would work on the farms. He admitted that one element of people behind the bill was philanthropic and hu mane in Its intentions, and had In mind the welfare of the child particularly the poor children or those of worthless parents. How ever, he accused the American Federation of Labor with being behind the measure for selfish reasons, mainly to remove the WILL RADIUM AT LAST OPEN THE DOOR OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN?

Ra dium Appliance Co., 681 Brad bury Bldg., Los Angeles, Calif. Adv. - competition of young persons in labor. 41 The federation of labor," said Eddy, "would say to the youth of the land: 'You shall not earn your livelihood.' The amendment U ar-flttroke at the American home; for lt breaks up the family and shifts the burden of responsi bility upon the widowed mother. It ruins character, for there is no more useful element In the educa tion of any boy or girl than to learn to work, to learn industry and thrift. The time would come when the farmer couldn't have the help of his 17-year-old son in raising his crop without a permit from the federal government. Eighty-seven out of 100 boys do not finish high school, and this amendment would drive them into idleness and crime." Coneress Passing Buck Eddy termed the action of congress in submitting the amend ment as an absurd, childish, weak kneed, jelly-fish shouldering of responsibility on the states. He asserted that the Russian soviet is behind the move and that It would create all over the land a discon tent that would be dangerous to government. "I take my stand," said Eddy, "for the constitution. I take my stand foj the American home. I take my stand for the welfare and happiness of the boys and girls, our future citizens." Senator Zimmerman, who In troduced the resolution, and the senate's main exponent for the amendment, opposed the bill to refer It to the people, but said he would not be afraid to refer it were It not for the "tremendous power of the press.

Zimmerman for Bill Zimmerman cited what he termed the deplorable condition of boys and girls as he bad seen them in the south, some of whom, he said, could neither read nor write. These, he said, must go out to be come a liability upon the govern ment. He cited Roosevelt and the late Senator Lodge as having en dorsed such an amendment and declared that every political party In the last eight years bad en dorsed similar legislation. "The only question," he said, "is state's rights against chil dren's rights, and 1 am for the rights of the children." Senator Banks was for reference to the people. He said be had not quite made up his mind he should vote on the amendment but that he bad hundreds of communica tions from his constituents urging him to support it, and he con- row TO-MGHY Tomorrow Alright XEETINO WELL Ad M T.bl.t ( vagatabla aparlant) takan at nlsbt will halp kaap you wall, by toning and atr.nsth.DfnK your dl atloo and allminatlon.
