B: L. EDDY FOSTERS BILLS Proposes National .Prohibition, Would Exclude "Boor" Mall, And Would Moke D. of C. Dry Three memorials dealing with pro hibition nationally, ono of which pro poses national prohibition, will be in troduced In the state senate today Immediatly after the organization ot the legislature. B. L. Eddy will spon sor the memorials at the request of tho Anti-Saloon league. Tho first memorial urges congress to pass and submit, to the states tor ratification a national prohibition a mendmont. The memorial, says that 23 of the states already are dry and that wherever tried prohibition hn brought about a great Improvement In the moral and economic condition ot mankind and that continuance of the traffic results In great Industrial, economic and moral loss, generally increasing human suffering without compensatory benefits. The national prohibition amendment Is now on tho calendar of the house with the recom mendation that it "do pass." In tho second memorial, congress, Is petitioned to close the mails to all written or printed matter advertis ing intoxicating1 liquors for sale or otlier distribution. This memorial ro cites that in the enforcement of tho prohibition law8 in 23 states tho law are handicapped and impeded by the circulation through the malls of" art vertlsmcnts encouraging or Inducing tho purchase and Importation ot in toxicating llcquors, often for the pur pose ot evading tho stato prohibitory laws, "to the great detriment nnd in Jury of the citizens of such state." A ntaional measure Is now pending before congress dealing with this sub ject. Prohibition for the District of Co lumbia is urged in the third memo rial. Tomorrow the United States sennte will vote on a bill to make tho district dry, and as this is the day after the Oregon legislature meets, tho legislature will have to pass the Joint memorial today and then wlra the result to Washington without de lay. This memorial says "tho grow ing conviction of mankind adverse to such traffic and the evils Inseparable connected with it" should be shown and the capital of a nation Is not only entirely under the government of con gress, but is the model for the nation and therefore the continuance-ot the licensed and recognized liquor trafflu there Is a menace to the welfare, not only of the people of the district, but of the people at large, nnd an evil ex nmplo to the nation." The memorial declares that "the national capital should bo kept free from the contam inating influenco of liquor, not only for tho inhabitants thereof, but as an object lesson to the nation." Senators Chamborlain nnd Lane are supporting these measures and both are opposing tho Underwood motion for a referendum vote of tho residents on tho District of Columbia dry bill. The drys aro opposed to such refer endum, arguing that tho district does not have self-government, has no list of voters and no provision for election of officers. Two-thirds of the popu lation are not permanent residents and tho remaining one-third who would settle the question, are negroes, nnd the drys do not want the fate or wot or dry In the cnpltnl or the nation de pondont on 100,000 colored peoplo.
