Dr. 3amea S. GUbett, of Cnlvprelty
,. ,. of Oregon, Will Address
' Gathering 1
Plans for the holding of a maw
meeting in tlila city to support tho
state income tax, which will be the
issue at the special election in No
vember, were made yesterday at a
meeting of tho executive committee
of tho Pomona grange of La'ne
county. The meeting will be held
either October SO or 31, according
to E. J. Ward, .master of the
grange. The place has not yet
been, selected," but it Wirprobably
be. either the armory or tho rooms
ofr the chamber ot commerce, the
grangers report. , ,, ;
jDr. James H. Gilbert head of
the department of economics of
the University of Oregon, who has
been active in support of the in
odme tax law, will Bpeak at the
meeting. An Invitation will also
be extended to Governor "Walter M.
Pierce to speak at the gathering,
according to the grange committee,
who , report that expectations are
that the chief executive will accept.
Campaign Is Started
The Pomona grange represents
about 1600 farmers of Lane county
arid the organization is making a
strong campaign to have the refer
endum on the tax measure defeat
ed at the polls. Practically every
grange in tho state has gone on
record as favoring the income tax
v law, Ahe grange officials report.
ITh'e purpose of the mass meeting
is to acquaint the voters with the
provisions of the bill and to ex
philn its advantages as a means of
equalising the tax burden which
at present is declared' by the
grango officials to rest too heavily
on the agrarian interests' of the
state, the executive: committee re
ports. ' ' '
.The executive committee of the
Lane county Pomona grange is
composed of E. J. Ward. Irving,
master; A. C. Miller. Goshen: H.

the sale of narcotic -drug. Their
nse, except under,the direction of
competent medical advice, is
everywhere reganded as attended
with grave- danger, usually- result
ing In lamentable disaster. The
effective protection of the. people
from' these result, depends on our
ability to prevent- the smuggling
and unlawful sale of such narcotics-
Their use is, in- part, per
haps due to physical "disease and
in part to lack of. moral stamina,
but their abuse Is almost 'wholly
a.' result of violations M the law.
I the law can be. enforced, med
ical science would very soon "rid
the country of this menace. This
traffic is carried on secretly and
evasively. It can only be detected
and eradicated through a system
: of local inspectors and, police. The
national secret service and enforce-.
nvent-officers, can cope, with . the
smugglers ad the wholesalers, but
the peddlers and retailers cannot
successfully be suppressed without
the assistance of. state and muni
cipal police. - ' , ,
Illicit Llqnor Another Problem
.,'VThe other problem which I
ash to lay before you is tnai m
toxicating liquors. jus
tendment was proposea oy vun
a in 1917 and Its ratification
Ioclaimed in January, .1919. .It
ahiblts the manufacture, sale or
transportation and the importa
tion and exportation of intoxicating
llduors -for Beverage purposes anu
c nfers upon the congress and the
ver&l states concurrent power to
g act enforcement legislation. This
p wer was exercised by .congress
ii the national prohibition act,
ii dch'was finally passed in Octo
b r, 1919, two-thirds ot the house
o frepresentatlves and senate pres
e t having voted in ; the . afflrm

h Ve likewise passed enfprclng
a ts under authority of (he 18th
a wndment. In all of the states
tfiere has long been laws regulat
ing the sale of Intoxicating liquors
and in many of the states prohi
bition had already been adopted.
' States' Responsibility Plain
, "Neither the amendment nor
the prohibition act undertakes to
relieve the states of their respon
sibility relative to Intoxicating
liquors, but on the other hand the
amendment confers jurisdiction
upon them and the prohibition ace
authorizes state and local prose-

"The national prohibition act
places the duty ot Its enforcement
on the commissioner of Internal
revenue, his assistants and Inspec
tors. In accordance therewith
there is an assistant commission In
direct charge of prohibition en
forcement and there me nrohl
bltlon agents and Inspectors In
each state. Correspondent pro
visions will bo found In Hourly nil
stute laws. ,
"The constitution nnd the laws
of the nation and of the several
states are binding alike upon all
thn inhnhltAiits. It is the constitu
tion which we have given our oaths
to support the constitution which
requires of tho President that he
shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed; and that the
Btato' constitutions lay a similar
obligation upon their governors.
Should Know of Duties Imposed
! "The constitution and the laws
are-perfectly plain, and tho direc
tions which tlioy contain to the
President and the governors are
equally plain. The country ought
to know all thlB. It ought to com
prehend that when laws have been
made, there is, and can be, no
question about duty of executives
to enforce them with such instru
ments and by such means as the
laav provides for securing enforce
nmnt. Thev have rio' alternatives.
They cannot be criticised for do
ing their auiy. -inis is not
litlcal question. If thero be any
principle which has been estab
lished by time, by common consent,
by the unqualified assortion of
fundamental and statute law It is
that .executives are tho law enforc
ing officers of. this nation. If this
were not so, there would be no:
warrant for the present gatherln
I can conceive ot but one opinion
on this. In which every responsible
element must concur. .
Wilding on Every Inhabitant
"No provision of the 18th
amendment, or the national pro
hibition act contemplates any sur
render of state responsibility. Un
der them prohibition becomes ob
ligatory in all states, for the con
stitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof are specifically
declared bv tho federal constitu
tion to bo the supreme law of the
land. They are binding upon every
inhabitant. But there still re
mains to the states the power, spe
cifically reserved in the ISth
amendment to pass enforcing acts
and there is still on them a Joint
responsibility to enact and execute
enforcement laws, which may not
always be exercised, but which can
never be avoided. The comple
mentary duty to enforcement of
the law is obedience to . the law.
That rests with the people them
selves. The 18th amendment pro
hibits manufacture, transportation,
sale, export and import. These
are the commercial activities.
Trade in intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes is especially de
nqunced. It is In this field that
mtwt of the difficulty exists. The
main problem arises from those
who are bent on making money in
an illegal traffic in. intoxicating
liquors. If this-could be eliminat
ed the rest would-be easy.
Must Take Problem to People
"These problems must be taken
directly to -the American' -people.
This government ' is their govern
ment. These lawd are their laws.
They have formed their govern
ment and enacted their laws, with
all due solemnity to promote their
welfare and protect their liberties.
They, are riot a nation -of inebriates;
they are not a people who can be
charged with being hypocrites.
They : have no patience with an
archy. They are sober, frank and
candid people. They have respect
and reverence for duly constituted
authority. To them the law is a
rule of actions- These fundamen
tal national characteristics' are not
going to be changed. These fun
damental conceptions are going to
remain permanent.
"The great body of the peonle are
thoroughly law-abiding. This great
law-abidlng"element of the "nation
is entltled to-support and pro
tection. - -
Vouchsafes Federal Support
"I propose to give that support
and protection 'to the limit, pro
vided by the constitution and the
law of the land, against ever" law
less element The executives are
required to enforce the law. The
machlnry for the enforcement of
the law IS that supplied by the acts
of congress and the acts of the
state legislatures. - That machin
ery must be used to the full extent
of Its capacity to secure the en
forcement of .the law It is cer
tainly' my own purpose so to use
it. The people are goln? to con
tinue to yield obedience to the law.
This principle will continue to pre
vail, Whenever the American peo
ple shall pass judgment upon it,
because It is the foundation ot all
their Institutions.
Obedience to Law Expected
"We can only make progress
with these problems by their frank
and candid consideration. They
are not going to be decided by pre
judices. They are not going to be
answered as a result of political
intrigue. They are not going to be
determined by extremists on either
side-
"They are not going to be solved
In accordance with any sordid mo-
Itlve. They will yield to the calm
and clear judgment ot tne Amer
ican people, through a determined
expression of their high moral pur
pose. . The law represents the voice
of tho people. Behind It and sup
porting It Is a divine sanction. En
forcement of the law and obedience
to law by tho very nature of our
Institutions are not matters of
choice In this republic, but tho ex-
ftrosston of a moral requirement of
tving in nccordunco with the
truth. They are clothed with a
spiritual significance In which is
revealed the life or the death of
tho American ideal of self-govern-ment.".

Mr. Cannon" cited the Bolso pro
ject as apparently illustrating the
general situation. With advances
from tho government already to
taling $12.0001000, tho commis
sioner asserted, "designing politic
ians, self-appcilntod guardians of
the water user and selfish Inter
ests have so far Intruded them
selves upon the patriotic and well
meaning peoplo of this project
that .many look forward to the
time when the entlro investment
will be relinquished."
A The1 witness urged .tho commit
tee to recommend a stronger per
sonnel and capable business or
ganization in ' Washington with a
field force trained in organization,
production and -business principles
to,. -guide tho farmer. I-aek of co
operation between government
ngencies'was Indicated, he sald, by
.the recent suspension of federal
.land bank aid to reclamation farm
ers in the St. Paul, Omaha and
"Spokane divisions.
Charles H. Lobdoll, general
counsel of tho land bank system,
denied tonight that any general
suspension had been approved for
ihoso or any other districts. Re
fusals of credit. Mr. Lobdell Insist
ed, were, confined to Individual
cases and were based on tho merits
in each case. Ho recalled, how
ever that .the original land bank
act 'had practically prohibited aid
to Irrigation farmers by requiring
tho banks to tako only a "first

Most reclamation settlers had
already assigned this claim to the
reclamation bureau on taking up
'their land, he said.
