July 30. (P Repeal, of the 18th amendment before the end of 1933 waa held today to be cer tain by Jouett Shouse, president of the national association against pro hibition. 'The verdict of the American peo ple Is Just as certain, is Just as well known snd Is Just as commanding w as It will be when the last detail has been completed," Shouse said in a statement commenting on the re peal elections Tuesday in .Arkaansas and Alabama. It is now highly probable," the ststement continued, "that not mere ly the necessary 36 states will ratify the pending proposed 21st amend ment to the federal constitution but that It will be ratified by all the 48 states of the union. "This Is certainly a result to be hoped for In order that the steps toward repeal may be taken by an ab solutely unified nation. "Defeated successfully In such strongholds as Indiana. Iowa and West Virginia, our prohibition friends fell back upon the south as their last possible line of defense. Now that It has been demonstrated beyond cavil that the south, ton. favors repeal, now that It Is apparent that no possible list of thirteen states can be complied which will hold out against repeal, Is It not the part of wisdom for the dry forces to submit gracefully to the popular will and resume the construc tive work toward temperance which has been so utterly destroyed thru the attempt at national prohibition?1 Shouse added orally that In his opinion "the greatest aid to temper ance is to have beer sold on every corner." T .F. On next Tuesday, July 25, a cara van of Medford merchants will leave the Chamber of Commerce at 3 p. m, and proceed to the new federal fisjh hatchery at Butte Falls, under the direction of T.

Those who desire to make the trip are urged to communicate with the Chamber of Commerce immediately. Go ' to to IT IS A 35 FOOD TAX Think of it!

(P) Bishop James Cannon, Jr., said today in a statement on the result of the repeal elections In Alsbama and Ar kansas that "the repeal of the eight eenth amendment would not change the basal facts In the warfare against the liquor traffic If the eighteenth amendment Is repealed." the southern Methodist churchman said, "It will be because of. first lack of effective federal en forcement. failure to ask for suffi cient men and money to enforce the li w; second, to lack of effective ataie cooperation, some states following the leadership of Governor Smith in New York, adopting the policy of practical nullification; third, to In tense Roman Catholic opposition; the Catholic heirarchy and Catholic press having aggressively opposed the pro hibition law. Other factors have combined to produce the present situation but those mentioned are the principal ones. The warfare of society with the liquor traffic Is Inevitable, irrepress ible and continuous and society will finally Inevitably be compelled to prohibit the traffic Just aa it has prohibited the traffic In narcotic orugs. The present campaign may fin ally be lost but the war will continue with unabated vigor for the abolition of the traffic and for total abstinence by the Individual."
