new law there is less drunkenness ;
less drinking; less poverty; better

thrift better homes and happier fam

Most of us will be satisfied if condi-

power to enact legislation affecting rev.
enues.
The second declared that the Constitu-
ton of the republic commits the treaty.
making power to the President and the
Senate and the House Of Representatives
has no right to approve or disapprove the
Cuban treaty.
The third proposition asserted that neith-
er the President and Senate alone nor the
President and Senate acting in conjunction
with the House of Representatives has the
right to originate such revenue measures,
and that what is null and void in Its begin
ming must be null and void throughout.
