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.''

committee today, George N. Peek,
president of the American Council
of Agriculture, entered a protest
over what he termed the domin

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

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

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. If we could

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

him to support it, and he con-
