The treasury department and the de-
partments of agriculture and of COM
merce and labor are required to agree
upon regulations for the collection and
examination of the articles covered by
the bill. but no specific provisions are
made for investigation except by the
department of agriculture. The inves-
legations by that department are placed
in the hands Of the chief of the bureau
of chemistry, and if he finds that the
law has been violated, the secretary of
agriculture is required to report the
facts to the United States district at
torney, who, in turn, is required TO in
stitute proceedings in the federal courts.
The bill also defines foods, drugs, medi-
cines and liquors and also defines the
standards for them. There is an ex-
emption for dealers who furnish guaran-
tees against adulteration and misbrand-

Ryan Wants Resubmission.

If we Democrats come cut this year
in a f1at-foOted way for a system of
equitable taxation, which, among other
things, will make the corporations of
the state pay their just share of taxes
for the privileges they enjoy, and also
for resubmission to the people of the
prohibitory question then L think we
viii have little trouble in winning" said
W H. Ryan of Girard. Crawford coun-
ty, who holds the proxy of DR.. J. II.
CuShenberry, a member of the central
committee from that locality. Under
the present conditions the operations Of
the prOhibitOry law is a farce. There IS
more liquor sold in Kansas now than
at any other time in it's history Why
there are two hundred saloons in Craw-
ford county alone. And little or no ef-
fort is being made by the authorities
all over the state to enforce the law as
1t stands. Let US submit the question
to the new generation OF people In the
state and if they are not satisfied with
the law as it now stands let it be
changed to a. satisfactory law and one
that will put the liquor traffic under
some reasonable sort of control and
which will bring adequate revenue from
it to the state treasury. If the people
vote that the present law is the proper
and then let US see that it is enforced.
Blu this going into a campaign with a
prayer book in one hand and a whisky
bottle concealed in the other is some
thing that the people of the state are
not going to stand for any longer. If
we have a law let 1t be enforced but
give the people a chance to say whether
or not they want such a law"
