Webb BILL Up ON
SPECIAL RULE
Parliamentary Practice Rail.
roads Liquor Bill Through
the House
(By Associated Press?

WASHINGTON, Fe1. l.-Although
parliamentary experts thought a spc-
cial rule would be required to get the
Webb liquor bill before the house
again, Representative Slayton OF Ala
ba:na called the measure up under a
rule permitting the house to consider
without reference to committee any
bill passed by the senate which sub
stantially was the same that had been
reported by the housc committee.
Representative Leader Mann and
Representative Fitzgerald made a
point Of order against the bill, con-
tending that it could not come within
the rule because it was no on the
house calendar. and it had senate
number instead of house number
and was not substantially the same
as the Webb bill as originally intro
duced
Speaker Clark ovcrruled the points
OF order and the bill passed without
debate or division.

the modern industrial community, ~

tons ultimately decisive in business
relations are, "ls he able to pay?' anu

laration by James J. Hill, the prlncl'
pal speaker at the eighteenth annual
banquet of the st. Paul Association
of Credit here tonight. Hills address
WAS on the use and abuse OF credit
Mr.. Hin said the. invention OF mon
ey was a long step toward civilization
but the invention of credit is greater
He said credit instruments were car
ried on 95 to 9S per cent OF business
transactions. Without definite asen
cies for creating. maintaining and
regulating credit. responsive to Dusl
ness needs both in expansion and con
struction, the country will come to a
lull stop.
"The cOmmonest forms OF abuse OF
credit in the past" said Mr. Hill, mas
been the issue by the government OF
cheap money. Other forms. such as
excessive capitalization Of trusts and
of some of the less spectacular enter
prises have the same effect as cheap

HIS CHANCE.

In the New York World ap-

kindly theory and hard-harted
practice. The letter is:
am an American n,gro possessing a
good common school education, a firm
believer in giving man a chance to
make living, irrespective OF race, creed
| or color. In my quest for jobs that pay
living wage, have met with many
rebuffs. All that I am asking for is a
chance to prove my honesty and will
ness, as have references to that effect.
That same negro. equipped as
he is. in Louisiana or Mississippi
cotton country, would be given
the chance to become independ-
ent and property owner. But
to take that chance he would hav Q
togo tn the rural districts, Once
thers. he would find that h o
could get a home and garden
space free of charge. would be
given credit for food, supplied
with live stock and live stock
fsed, and The best farming advice

perts and demonstration agents
and required only to pay for his
advances from his crop. and to
return rent or share of the pro-
ceeds in lieu of rent for the use OF
the land, stock, and tools.
Through the Mississippi delta
there are hundreds OF thons n Is
OF land.owning, bank-account

farmers who have have won their
own independence and the conf
dence and goodwill of their neigh
bors by this rule-beginning as
common day hands without edu-
cation or advantages of the writer

No where in the world is the
chance for a moneyless. landless
man better than it is in the South

crops were showing up unusually
well, and the greater part of the

along near the woods, where the

was never better. Col. Maxwell
says that unless there ia too much
rain during the month of August,
he believes that the crop will be
a first class one, and the weevil
will not be able to do them very
much harm with the progress
which the crop has made, under
the fine weather conditions up
