PRESENT STATUS OF REPEAL
(Pathfinder)
Looking over the easy victories in
states that have already acted on re­
peal of the 18th amendment, many of
the more enthusiastic wets are al­
ready conceding themselves the fight.
While Michigan, Rhode Island, Wis­
consin, New Jersey, New York, Wy­
oming, Delaware, Nevada, Illinois and
Indiana have already taken action,
even the dry forces had these listed
in the wet column, as evidenced by
their failure to stage a real campaign
against repeal. The drys are acting
wisely by saving their ammunition for
the states in which real fights will oc­
cur, for they need carry only 18 states
to block repeal and their task is redl-
ly simpler than that of the wets.
Unlike most amendments, repeal is
receiving prompt attention; 38 states
including these in which the vote has
already been taken, having provided
the machinery for action this year
Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Missouri,
Montana and Utah are also expected
to get things going this year, so that
by the end of 1933 the country should
have a pretty good idea whether it
is going to be wet or dry.
Only Georgia, Kansas, North Da­
kota, Colorado and Oklahoma have
shown any inclination to postpone the
issue, legislatures in the first three
states adjourning without taking ac­
tion, and the governor of the other
two vetoing repeal resolutions.
In
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Virginia no action will be possible un­
til the legislstion meets next year.
• >A11 the other states have voted, or
will vote, in 1933.
• —'
Here is the way the wet forces see
the situation:
Wet—'Arizona, California, Connect­
icut, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachu­
setts, Missouri, Montana, Pennsyl­
vania, Washington.
Good Prospects—Colorado, Florida,
Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Ore­
gon.
Hopeful—Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
New Hampshire. North Carolina.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas,
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.
Doubtful—Alabama, Georgia, Ida­
ho, Mississippi, Nebraska, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah.
Dry—Arkansas, Kansas. Oklahoma.
The accuracy of this estimate may
be judged by the fact that the ten
states voted so far were all wet.
Postmaster General Farley states
that if repeal fails taxes will be from
86 to 810 on each 8100 income.
Since the alxjve was printed. New
Hampshire has voted wet, two to one,
Connecticut about seven to one, and
Iowa three to two for repeal.

This monopoly will cost the people
of this state vast sums through in­
creased freight costa and added
charges for fuel and other specific
items.
Communities remote from railroad
facilities, now dependent upon truck
service will be injuriously affected.
A serious situation will develop as

This Act purposed that

cent of state highway funds. It can
be clearly seen that inability of a ma­
