SHANNON INTERVIEWED
Talks Back About the Tricks of
The VETS

jefferson City, Feb. 9.-Lead-
ers of the dry forces i'll the Sen
ate and House said Monday that
they expected to carry thru both
houses all pending antisaloOn
Legislation with provisions that
such bills shall not be submitted
to "a vote of the people by Il ref
erendum.
The principal measures are
those requiring the closing of
saloons at 8 p. m, prohibiting
saloons within five blocks of any
building used for religious, edu-
catiOnal or charitable purposes,
and establishing precint local
option in the larger cities.
To each of these bills the
'drys" have attached a clause
providing that they are in the in
terest of the immediate preser-
walton of the public peace,
health and safety" and that,
therefore, they are excepted
from the referendum by the Con
Stitution.
E. A. Shannon of Audrain
county, author of the 8 o'clock
closing bill, and one of the dry
leaders of the House, said that
the attempt to prevent referen-
dunn of the anti-Saloon measures
was due to the action of the IL
quor interests i'll the past.
I'VE are not afraid to submit
any matter to the people if we
are given a square DEAL" Shan
non said, "but we have not had
a square deal from the liquor in
terests.
We sincerely believe these
measures are in the interest of
the public peace, health ad safe
ty, and we believe that we are
right in taking advantage of the
constitutional provision.
1T has been the custom of the
liquor interests to load down the
constitutional amendment ballot
with $5O,OOO,OOO bond issue pro-
visions, and all sorts of other
matters obnoxious to the voters
for the sole purpose of defeating
liquor legislation they opposed.
They have not been willing to
these matters to a vote on
their merits, and to protect our
legislation we are forced to take
this means"

A committee from the Mexico
Commercial Club went to st.
Louis last Thursday to consult
with the owners of the Mexico
Shoe Factory to learn if possible
when they would open up the
plant here. The committee was
most courteously received and
was assured that the Mexico
plant would most surely begin
business again in a very few
weeks. This is good news indeed.
The Mexico public feels very
kindly toward the Shoe Factory,
but we are very jealous that they
should keep work humming.

If congressman would cut their

before they raised them and
would charge only two cents for

be less need of call for war tax
