PROTEST WITHOUT EFFECT.
Great Britain Will Abolish the Duty
on Grain July 1.

London, May 5.-The opposition to
the proposal of the chancellor of the
exchequer, Mr.. Richie, to abolish the
duty on grain, which has been voiced
by numerous chambers of agriculture,
crystallized in a meeting of the Asso-
ciated Chambers of Agriculture in Lon
don today. With only three dissen-
tents, the large assemblage, after a
heated attack on Mr.. Ritchie's ''wOb-
bling policy in connection with this
tax" passed a resolution strongly con-
demning the proposed action and ap-
pointing a deputatiOn to call on Pre-
mier BalfOur and confer with him on
the subject. It is not believed the pro-
test will have any effect.
Answering a question in the house
today, Mr. Richie held out little hope
of the millers getting a refund of the
duties paid on imported grain which
they may still have on their hands
when the tax is abolished July 1.
Mr. Richie added. however. that he
was anxious to prevent any hardship to
the trade and had therefore given per
mission for the bonding of grain in the
interim, and had instructed the customs
officials to make the operation of bond
ing as cheap and easy as possible. and
with the permission of the house h
proposed to remit the Il per cent ware
housing charge.

tempted the enforcement of prohibition
enactments the federal law has oper-
ated as a foil in the prevention of the
enforcement Of the state laws. Under
the existing laws and rules, the govern
ment does not concern itself about the
question whether local dealer is vio-
Iating the state excise law by failing to
pay the legally prescribed fee or tax
for permission to carry on his business.
II he pays his tax to the government,
he is secure from punishment, so far as
the federal authorities are concerned.
The effect of the operation of this sys-
tenn is we'll known. Boot-leggers, sa-
loon Keepers operating under the guise
Of druggists, restaurant keepers, and
others who seek a profit from the sale
of liquors are prompt to pay their fed
eral tax and depend upon the Iaxity Of
public sentiment, or their own ability
to dodge or silence local officials, to
evade state laws regulating or prohibit
ing the liquor traffic. Records of the
courts in every state in which such 10
cal laws are sought to be enforced show

always a wholesome fear, whatever may
be the sentiment of disregard for local
and state laws. This apparent conflict
of federal and local authority has
served in many cases to make prosecu-
lions for violations of the state liquor
laws nothing less than farcical.
The enactment of the law proposed by
Senator Gallinger would have the effect
of putting a stop to all locally unli-
censed selling of liquor and of furnish
ing a decided restraining and salutary
influence upon vioIators of state laws.
Aside from any question of state
rights" original packages" and other
issues that have been raised in attempts
to enforce or evade state prohibition
laws, it would seem that there is much
merit in the measure proposed by SEN
ator Gallinger. Under existing laws and
regulations, the government is placed in
the attitude of apparently encouraging
violations Of state laws. There is a real
demand, in prohibition states, for har-
mony of action between the federal and
state officials on this subject. The Gal
llnger measure apparently offers the
means of securing such harmony.

MR. HOWE RETURNS.
Says That He Won't Move to
Colorado.

Councilman Samuel T. Howe has re-
turned from Colorado for the winter
and says he does not intend to go back
to Colorado next summer. This prob
ably means that Mr.. Howe will be a
candidate for reelection to the council
from the Fifth ward, which he repre-
sents. This has been in doubt for some
time, as it was supposed Mr.. Howe
would leave Topeka again as soon as
the mining season opened, to look
after placer interests with which he is
concerned. Speaking of next years
plans, Mr.. Howe said today:
I do not intend to go back to Colo
RADIO next summer to stay. I can't
stand it I have lost forty pounds of
flesh this year; can't drink the water,
and can't sleep at night in the noun
tains. I had intended to confine my
self more closely to my business out
there, but my health won't permit me
to. A man has to sleep and he has to
drink water. and L don't seem to be
able to do either in Colorado
In reply to the question if he would
again be a candidate for the council
Mr.. Howe said:
Il don't know. / haven't had time to
think about it since L came home, al
though several persons have requested
me to do so. Should L be returned to
the council I believe I would be able
to do more for the city than I have
done in my first two years, because
since have learned the ropes and there
are number of things that L want
to see accomplished.
| Mr.. Eowe.s friends believe he will
again be q candidate for the council
and many of them are urging him to
do SO. When he was first elected he
declined to make q, campaign for the
office and he says he will not enter a
contest to be re~elected.

MYERS AFTER MONEY.
Manager of City Railway Is
on That Mission.

L. E. Myers. manager of the Topeka
city railway, left for Chicago today, to
be gone until the early part Of January.
He says he is going back to get some
more money to spend in rebuilding the
Topeka line.
The company set a gang of men at
work Tuesday constructing a wye at
the end OF the Washburn car line, so
that the new single end cars can be
used on that line.
Myers today, that your difficulties with
the Washburn college authorities have
been settled?'
mo, it does not" said Mr.. Myers.
There has been nothing settled.
will you run your cars out to the
athletic f1eld?"
mo, the cars will just go to the wye.
The college people got so smart, we
thought we would just show them a
thing or two"
The wye is at the end of College ave-
nue.. 1t is being built east on Euclid
avenue a short distance, and then con-
meet with the present track which turns
west of Euclid, thus forming the wye
1t is likely, however, that the present
track will be allowed to remain where
it is, so that the cars will go as close
to the football park as they have done
in the past. even though the regular
terminal is at the end of College ave-
nue.. Mr.. Myers said that nothing had
been decided in regard to the proposed
change in the route to the college
What the railway company wanted
the college to do was to give it about
an acre of land in the WaShburn CAM
pus near the football park for them TO
use in building a loop. In consideration
to rebuild the Washburn line in its
present location, which is favorable to
a lot of land which the college hopes
to sell some time for building sites.
