HAS THE MEASURE BEEN DoPEr
IN THE HousE2
There Are Evidences That the Meas
ure Will Be Put to Sleep For an
Indefinite Perod-same Old Game
Is Being Worked.

washington; May 25.--Has the pure
food bill been "doped" in the house of
representatives? 1t looks like it.
This is one of the cases in which
the senate promptly responded to the
demands of the people. The house,
however, shuffled out of the consid-
Grafton of the pure food bill on its
merits. The time is now so short be-
fore adjournment that if this measure
is taken up at all it will have to be
acted upon hastily. Things which
should not be in the bill will be sure
to creep in Either the conference
will fail TO agree at all or it will agree
to some basis of compromise which
will not be in the interest of the peo-
pie who are not represented by the
lobby.
There is a majority in the house
in favor of a reasonable pure food bill.
This fact has been demonstrated time
and again. There is a large number
of the republican members, however,
including some prominent men, who
ought to be too big for that sort of
thing, who are determined to dodge
vote at this time. In spite of the
occasional efforts of Colonel Hepburn,
Golfer dam has been built around
the pure food bill and the tide of leg
islation has flowed around and beyond
it without much regard for the fact
that this measure is still the proud
possessor of the privileged position
on the house calendar.
1t need surprise no one, therefore,
if, after all the parade made about it
in the house and the fact it was made
continuing special order" by unan-
imous consent, the pure food bill
should be laid on the shelf until next
December. And then the cry will be
raised that it is a short session and
there is not time to pass such an inn
portant piece of legislation before the
final adjournment of this congress on
noon of the 4th of March. 1t is a
game which has been worked before

The PURE FOOD BILL THE ALCOHOL BILL.
CONGRESSMAN MARSHALL SIZ-
Es UP AMENDED MEASURE.
How AIdrich Was Forced to Come OFF
the Perch in His Opposition to the
Measure--He Heard the Campaign
Slogan.

Washington. May 25.-"Pass a rate
bill, and do something for free alco-
hol, and the republican party cannot
be defeated in this years campaign"
This was the statement which
brought Senator Aldrich to time and
induced him to withdraw his opposi-
tion to the free alcohol proposition,
in thesenate thus insuring legisla-
ton. In other words, Mr. Aldrich
after talking with republican leaders
in both houses of congress, came to
the conclusion that the country
would stand for two years more of
standpat rule, provided the two mat
ters alluded to were properly looked
after.
Closer examination of the free al
cohol bill, as reported from the SEN
ate committee, shows one amendment
that is not so favorable to free distiI-
lation and denaturing of alcohol as
appeared at first. This amendment
provides that denaturing shall be done
| in bonded warehouses, to be designat-
| ed by the commissioner of internal
revenue. Men like Representative Mar
shall of North Dakota, who have
studied the language of the bill, say
| that under this provision it may be
possible to give the big distilIers of
the country all the denaturing busi-
ness. Some people here go so far as
| to say that under this clause of the
| bill the denaturized alcohol business
will be in the hands of the whisky
| trust.
| Representative Marshall discussing
the senate committees action in re
porting the bill, said:
Free alcohol people have won a
great victory in having been able to
| prevent the amendment taxing de-
| natured material, and in shutting off
| the amendment putting a statutory
limit on the size of distilleries / am
not inclined to think so we'll of the
amendment requiring denaturing to
be done in bonded warehouses, but
will have to INQUIRE further into it's
effect before expressing myself finally
| on it.
1 a ne CHdHSe OF udle WIlen IHe dCt
shall go into effect, Jan. I, next, is
not of such vital Importance as other
amendments sought by opponents of
the bill. 1 believe that if the bonded
warehouse provision is found to be
a menace to the proposed new indus
try, it will be strongly opposed by
friends of the measure, and they will,
believe, be able to bring about a
change in conference that will not
be so hard on small distillers."
