By FRANK JENKINS.
rIS question, these days, Is on
every Up: "What of prohibi
tion?" And here Is the probable answer:
Prohibition, AS IS, Is dons for."
Last week's election left little doubt
of that.
VP
disappointment to most people.
'This wrlter, iat example, started
out as a sincere ECONOMIC prohibi
tionist meaning by that one who be
lieves the country Is better off with
It than without It. It was certainly
trite, In the first few years of prohi
bition, that common, ordinary pepple
who haven't any too much money at
the best spent LESS for liquor and
MORE for the solid comforts of life.
' That Is probably true yet, but the
scandals of prohibition have become
so great as to disgust large numbers
of people, Including this particular
writer.
WHAT will follow repeal of prohi
bition; which, unless all signs
, fall," Is on the way? ,
Well, obviously, If prohibition Is to
he done away with, there must be
some form of REGULATED sale of
liquor. There are many plans, rang
ing all the way from the- return of
. the old saloon to government liquor
stores.
- But It Is plain that if we are to
have liquor there must be some way1
whereby people can buy It.
AS to what way Is best, this writer
freely confesses doubt. Most
people seem to be In doubt on that
point. There la little agreement, as
yet, aa to Just how liquor should be
made and sold.
one point, however, there
should be general agreement:
Whatever method of manufacture
and sale of liquor Is finally adopted,
the government should take all, or at
least the bulk, of the profits, either
by monopoly of the business- Itself
or by a tax so stiff as to absorb moot
of the profit arising out of It. .
One of the sad aspects of prohibi
tion has been a government unable
to raise money enough to pay its bills
and at the same time a bootlegging
racket that milks the. public for hun
dreds of millions, perhaps billions,
and yet goes untaxed,
THERE are both moral and ecc
nomlo reasons for a tax that will
take most, If not all, of the profits
arising out of the liquor business.
' The moral reason Is that it was
profit that made the old saloon a
sink of iniquity.
The economic resson, bluntly,
stated, is that the government needs
the money.'
HIS write, incidentally, would like
to pause here and make a pre
diction: . Whatever form of regulation of the
llouor business Is undertaken, when
prohibition Is .done away with, as
seems to be coming, will be unsstls
factory and sooner or later will be'
come saturated with scandal "and
graft.
Human beings have been struggling
with the liquor problem for thou
sands of years, snd have as yet found
nothing approaching a satisfactory
solution for it. The liquor business
has ALWAYS been sn outlaw prob
ably more so In this country than
anywhere else.
It will have all the traits of the
outlsw when It returns. Make
mistake aa to that.
I ERE Is a fist and positive state'
ment, but It Is one that this
writer believes:
. There is Just one satlsfector solu
tion for the liquor problem. That
solution la INDIVIDUAL TEMPER
ANCE that Is to say, temperance
that Is undertaken VOLUNTARILY
by the Individual, because he believes
it to be best for HIM.
That would work. -
TJROHrBrnONLSTS, especially the
7 mors radical of them, hav mads
many mistakes In the past couple of
decades.
They have assumed, for example,
that people could be made temperate
by flat of law. They have learned by
experience, although not all of them
have admitted It, that human nature
Is such thst when authority says re

Special Session Too Late to

ther Tax Conferences Are
Planned by Gov. Meier
SALEM, Nov. 18. (p) A atato tax
on property will b levied for 1933,
regardless of sales tax approval or
any other revenue producing meas
ure by a special or regular session
of the Oregon legislature, state of-
flclals considering the situation here
today indicated. Further conferences
on taxation here and at Portland will
be held by Governor Julius L. Meier
before any definite recommendations
are made, he said.
While the calling of & special ses
sion was still being discussed as a
possibility, it was the opinion of tax
authorities that no tax could be
levied in time to affect the 1933 levy
wnicn must be established by tne
end of December. Any revenue rais
ing measure must wait the required
00 days before enacted, and then
with the possibility that 'a referen
dum would be Invoked. An emerg
ency clause cannot be attached to
tax bills, It was pointed out.
A special session, however, would
expedite revenue raising steps, and
with the enactment of a' gross or
selective 'sales tax, as is being con
sidered, provision would likewise be
made for the calling of a special
lection should a referendum be In
voked. The tax then would be col
lected and be used to offset the
property tax later In the year, of
ficials Indicated.
Many questions have arisen in the
statehouse aa to the effect of calling
a special session. Its duration and
who shall comprise the session the

General I. H. Van Winkle, the argu

INSULL REVEALS
FUTILE EFFORTS
CHICAGO, Nov. 1 3. -(JP)-Samuel
Insull, Jr., told' in federal court to
day of futile steps he took a year
ago to persuade New York and Ohi-1
cago banks to vgo along" with In
sull Utility Investments, Inc., and
Corporation Securities company to
tide them over until loans could be
paid and receivership avoided.
Leaning forward in the witness
stand with apparent willingness to
answer questions, the younger In
sull told of conferences with offic
ials of banks that had loaned, mil
lion?; of dollars to the two now bank
rupt firms. The hearing sought to
determine whether there were pos
sible hidden assets
"In December of 1931," said young
Insull, who received $70,000 a year
as president of both companies, "we
decided the point was being reached
where, because of declining market
values, the company could not con
tinue to post collateral for the bank
loans."
Insull said other officials of the fi
nancing companies, Including his
father, Samuel Insull, Sr., now fac
ing extradition from Greece on
charges of embezzlement and lar
ceny in connection with the collapse
of his $2,000,000,000 utilities compa
nies, delugated him to confer with
the banks.
He was lnstmcted, Insull said, to
obtain agreement of the banks not
to sell collateral held as security for
loans. The collateral consisted of
stock In underlying utility operating
Companies of the two financing com
panies. Dumping of the stock held by
the banks would have had a serious
effect on the market, he said.
Insull, Jr., said he visited five Chi
cago banks December 15 and officials
of each Indicated Viey would adhere
to a -"standstill" agreement U the
New York banks holding loans would
do likewise. The bankers he told of
seeing included , Herman Waldek,
president of the Continentals Illinois
Bank & Trust Co.; Melvln A. Tray
lor, president t the First National
Bank of Chicago; and' Philip R,
Clarke, president of the Central Re
public Bank & Trust Co. (now the
City National Bank of Chicago), of
which Charles G. Dawes was chair
man of the board.
He also conferred With officers of
the Harris Trust & Savings Bank
and of tie Northern Trust. Co. of
Chicago. The next day he went to
New York, accompanied by H. L,
Stuart of the brokerage concern of
Halsey, Stuart it, Co.
Officers of the National City Bank
and of thtf Ouaranty Trust Co., he
said, reached no decision.
At one point, he said, officials of
the Guaranty Trust asked him if he
and his father would endorse the
loans.
' "I replied, young Insull said,
"that all my property except a little
real estate was tied up In the com
panies and that therefore my en
dorsement would be of little value."
by making a vivid Impression upon
the mind of the child."
Johnson carries a collection of live
snakes and during his talks fondles
them. His first collection, gathered
while he wa still a boy, consisted
of harmless grass snakes. Since then
he has acquired rattlers, blownnakes
and other poisonous species.
He claims a bullsnake Is worth $26

they will handle prescription liquor.
Stanley R. Stevenson, director or
the state Pharmaceutical association,
announced late Monday that a poll

the question of liquor selling.
Stevenson said that in event tne
vote shows tho druggists oppose deal
ing In alcoholic liquor, a bill will be
prepared and sponsored at the legis
lature prohibiting such drug store
sale.
Unfair competition may readily re
suit from drug stores going Into the
liquor business," Stevenson aaia,
'since many stores are estamisnea
purely for the purpose of handling
liquor as was the case in California,
These stores sell their arugs ac
cut rates In order to attract the liquor
trade and many druggists fear this
result If Oregon stores handle liquor."
