P1T3E EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. IfEDFORD. 'OREGON, WEDNESDXT, FEBRUARY 22, 1933. FIFTEEN STATES RACE T0REPEAL Enough Legislatures in Ses sion Now to Strip All Liquor Legislation From United States Constitution WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. (AP) Fifteen Atatos, spurred on by & d ilr to be first, today definitely had pet out on the road toward1 repeal of the prohibition amendment a few hours after congress put the ques tion before them. Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his en couragement within a few moments after the house had spoken with a fifteen vote margin to let the peo ple decide whether prohibition should prevail as the law of the land after thirteen years of trial and con troversy. Hope for Legal Beer. But with, bis expressed gratifica tion at the action of the house In concurring with the senate, the president-elect Interpolated a fur ther hope that t,he present congress In iU dying days would fulfill an other democratic platform pledge by legalizing beer. Enough legislature are In session now to get up the conventions nec essary to strip, all liquor legislation from the constitution except that provided for In the new amendment protection for dry states, against Importation of intoxicant. Forty-Two Legislature Meeting! - Forty-two legislatures are now meeting1 and two more Califor nia and Florida convene In the spring. Only four1 Louisiana, Mis- slsstppl, Virginia and Kentucky will not meet for a year or more. There was every Indication, how ever, that ratification by the neces sary 36 states within seven years would not come without further re alstftnoe from dry organizations They 1mm mediately answered Vie echo of the 389 to 131 vote In the house with a call to rally and "fight to the finish" in the states.. Difficulty Kemalns. Congress, which first thought It . bad dismissed the problem by voting lor ratification by state conventions Instead of legislatures as has been customary In the past, found Itself till In possession of a difficulty. Constitutional authorities were split as to whether the state legis latures or congress should'- provide for setting up the convention ma- , ehtnery. Such eminent students of con- stltutlonal law as Representative Back, a Pennsylvania republican, and former solicitor general, and A. Mitchell Palmer, former democratic Attorney general. took opposing views, with the latter Insisting that the power belonged to congress. Representative Laguardla (R N. Y.) and Chairman Sumnera of the house judiciary committee promptly Introduced bills to provldo for the conventions. Little Hope He en. With the expressed opposition, however, of Speaker Garner and oth leaders, who believed with Beck that the atate leglslatuies should have a chance to act, little hope was voiced for enactment of these meas ure. In many of the legislative and ex ecutive chambers over the country scant attention was being paid to this dispute and movements went forward to set up the conventions, Wyoming was away out ahead, for tts legislature has already passed and trie governor has signed a bill to pro Tide for the constitutional conven tion. Other states !n which action was begun In some quarter are Massa ehusetts. New York, Ohio, Wisconsin. oeorgla, Now Jersey, West Virginia, Arlsona, Missouri, Delaware, Califor nia, MKVhlgan, Iowa . and Pennsyl Tanta. Pry mU right. First of the dry law supporters to predict "a fight to the finish" was- Edward B. Dun ford, general counsel for the anti-saloon league, who said It would be carried on In the elec tion of delegates and, If necessary, In legal proceedings. Another thought was advanced by Mrs. Henry W, Pea body, general chairman of the woman's national committee for law enforcement, who asserted that the repeal resolution had brought the btrtft "of a new party." The committee Immediately Issued an Imitation to "representatives from the states already organized for political action and those who wish to Join to confer in April on a movement looking toward a na tional coalition party ready for ac tion In 1034." s E The play "NelKhbora," to be given Saturday night at the Phoenix Orange ball, will be outstanding, so far aa atage setting and costumes ar. con cerned.

Hearst Urges Public Works, Sales Tax and Currency Inflation Haskell Tells Tax Plight of Farmer WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. OT) Representatives of the newspaper In dustry today recormriended to the senate finance committee government ownership of tne railroads, and tar iff, tax and farm debt revision. William Randolph Hearst. In a voluminous letter outlined a program suggesting federal operation of the railways, expanded public works to aid unemployment, a sales tax and "reasonable reflation" of the cur rency. Henry J. Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star, gave the commit tee the viewpoint of the agricultural middle west, suggested that the In coming President be a virtual budget director, and said: Tax Plight Told. "Radically reduce all taxes; Indus try, including the farm Industry, can not carry the 1939 load. "Adjust and seals down farm In debtedness where necessary, by selec tive treatment under which creditors and debtors should share unavoidable losses. "Depend for price recovery, not on domestic allotment or governmental rental of marginal lands, but first on the upward movement that would come immediately through removing; elements of uncertainty and fear." To bring this about, he proposed: "Balance the budget, reject Inflation, settle international debts, stabilize currencies, encourage the farmer through abatement of taxes on land taken out of production to continue to adjust his farm production to nor mal supply and demand conditions through an intelligent land-use pro gram." Reciprocity Needed. He also called for ' the lowering of trade barriers by reciprocal action so as to give the farmer his necessary and fair foreign market for his sur plus products.' Hearst suggested currency Inflation by Increasing bond Issues and cur rency notes Issued against them, con tending this would offset leaving home markets "open to an Influx of cheap foreign product" made un der depreciated money systems. - As for the railroads, the publisher asserted, "Apparently the only way that the necessary complete reor ganisation and unification of the rail roads can be accomplished is through government ownership." "Government ownership will ad minister the railroads economically in one coordinated system." he said. Shonlil Own Railroads. Apparently referring to loans by the reconstruction corporation to the car riers, but not naming that organisa tion. Hearst continued: "If the people's money Is being paid out in sufficient quantities to buy the railroads, then the people should own the railroads, and secure the full benefit thst would accrue from gov ernment refinancing, government re organization, government unification and government operation." To aid the farmer, Hearst suggest ed regulation of sale and distribution of crops. Dexter M. Keener, associate editor of the Baltimore Sun suggested "ef forts must be directed largely toward getting the price structure straight ened out, and relieving financial fear. The policy should be directed to ward "relief from enormous concen tration of economic power, whose growth has far outstripped the ca pacity to manage them effectively,' he said. Hit Crop Loans. Rfforta to brtng federal expendi tures within Income and a 20 per cent cut In veterans' benefit pay ments were urged by Keener, along with adjustment of private debts. Ha termed a '"shocking and dan gerous declaration" the principle of the domestic allotment plan for farm relief, which he saw as meaning that to "gain a decent livelihood under the economic system prevailing In the United States, It is necessary to re strict the production of much-needed commodities." He also proposed lowering of tar iffs, enforcement of anti-trust laws. and "a long postponement of war debt payments If not outright cancel lation." Glass Content To Remain In Senate WARRINGTON. Feb. 22.-l,TV-Senator Glass (TJ.. Vs.) when asked to day about report he had declined appointment as secretary of the rea& ury, said; "I am entirely content to remain In the eenate.' "1 have not changed my mind." Glass added. "My decision has al ways been final." 4 X will appreciate your votes In the Medford Merchants Popularity con test. ROSAMOND WALL, Tel. 735-M.
