KNOW what the president intends doing
with the measure, but inasmuch as he
has ten days in which to decide, the
longer he puts Off signing it, the better
the veto bet grows.
He is being besieged in both direc-
tons so it is said-vehemently and vo-
ciferously in one, quietly and in a re
pressed fashion in the other.
If the president signs the bill, it will
go to the supreme court eventually for
Interpretation. Its enemies In congress
argue that 1t is unconstitutional It's
friends contended that if congress had
the right to stop the interstate traffic in
lottery tickets, 1t has the right to stop
the Interstate liquor traffic
The answer TO the last is that con-
gress, by its revenue laws, distinctly
and Enthusiastically recognizes the liquor
traffic as legitimate, whereas 1t never
has extended such recognition to the
lottery business
These anti Webbites put liquor, so
far as the governments attitude to-
ward the traffic therein is concerned, in
Georgia prohibitionists have long
commended that the protecting hand Of
the Federal government alone stands
between them and a perfect enforce
ment OF the state prohibition laws.
They holland with a. show Of logic
and fairness hard to dispute-that the
prohibition law, 80 long as 1t is the
law, is entitled to a square deal and an
opportunity to show what 1t can ac-
complish.
Therefore, their demand that the
Federal government keep hands off for
time. in order that prohibition may
have it's complete opportunity, i'm
presses many people as reasonable and
right
1t is evident enough, however, that
the law win go to the supreme court,
unless President Taft disposes of 1t
within the next few days by vetolng It,
Senator Hoke Smith will undertake
in the next congress, to procure an
amendment to the national banking
laws, permitting national banks to loan
money on real estate.
The senator already has introduced
gress, but will make no attempt to get
action upon it until the next congress
has been assembled.
Bankers generally approve of this
measure, and ordinary citizens never
have understood clearly what purpose
the government had in mind when the
prohibition against real estate loans
originally was set up.
The only reason given Is that ma
tional banks were not designed to ac-
Cept collateral that could not be irnme-
diately realized upon in case Of for
feiture-and that real estate collateral
did not come within the purpose Of the
act for that reason.
Nowadays, however real , estate
loans may be made with perfect safety
so far as the quick conversion Of the
collateral into money is concerned
and many national banks, particularly
are most numerous, evade the law in
one way and another, and make real
estate loans, anyway.
Senator Smith thinks his bill will
pass congress with little difficulty, and
Georgians generally appear TO hope it
will.
A number Of people in Georgia, not
ing February y printed in red letters
on their calendars, wondered what 1t
meant If February II was legal hol-
