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."

Mr. and Mrs. Bergen are making
their headquarters while here at the
Sunrise service station at the cor

have three large angora rabbits with
them, which they brought from the
farms. ,
Mr. Bergen pointed out the fact
that a ready market Is always avail
able for the wool, and that It Is not
necessary to kill the animals In order
to obtain this product.
The rabbits, he said, are clipped
every three months, the first clipping
being at the age of three months.
Approximately a, pound of wool la
obtained from each rabbit during the
year, and exceptionally high prices
are paid for the product, due to the
high demand, Mr. Bergen said.
Mr. Ford, mayor of Reedsport, who
is In charge of the farms there, is
second vice president of the Angora
Rsbblt Wool Marketing association of
Newburyport, Mass., where his sup
ply of wool is shipped, and where

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."
