DAVIS BILL WILL HAVE A
HEARING IN PUBLIC TODAY

Tallahassee. April ga public
hearing on the Davis Package Bill,
the most stringent liquor regulation
measures to be introduced during
the present session, will be held to-
night by the joint senate and house
committees on temperance. This
was decided Thursday afternoon.
Three hours will be given to discus
sion of the bill, the arguments and
the opposition having a like period.
A number of men from the diff
ferent parts of the state arrived here
this morning to oppose the adoption
of the Davis bill and the temper
ance forces will send leading advo-
Gates in an effort to crumble away
the stand of their opponents.
The liquor forces are Of the opin-
ion that the overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of the Davis bill
which was apparent upon the de-
feat of the submission of the resolu-
ton is rapidly turning and that the
bill will have a hard road to travel.

GOLDEN TEXT.

Little Jack was Unfortunately
proud Of the big, round badge which
his father had brought home from
the automobile show, according to
the Literary Digest. 1t had q pic
ture of a famous automobile on one
side, and a motto in large golden
letters on the other. He wore 1t to
Sunday school.
The pastor walked down among
the scholars" smiling upon each
brisht-faced little boy and girl, after
the time-honored fashion Of pastors
on such errands bent. The badge
on the little boys coat caught his
eye.
"Ah. my son, what have you
there?"
That's my golden text" answer
ed Jacy eagerly. beaming like

Your golden text? That's very
nice. indeed. And what does II

Asst Sec. OF
Agriculture
Delivers Address
At Southern
Com Congress
(By Associated Press)

Muskogee, Okla, April 26-Assist-
ant Secretary Vrooman, of the de-
partment of Agriculture, spoke for
the national administration at the
opening of the Southern Commercial
Congress here today. President Will
son and Secretary Houston were un-
able to attend.
Mr.. Vrooman said in part:
Now as in the past, we find sew
eral distinct types of business organ
ization; that founded upon privilege,
that founded upon unrestricted
competition, that founded upon reg
ulated competition, and that en-
bodying the spirit and method of
cooperation.
THE paramount issue before the
American people today is not the
tariff, mr. corporation control, nor
any of those other political or econ
omic problems which newspapers
and politicians discuss so glibly. The
iCui loSuS 10 hol poiitiSdi, Hoi CVcA
economic. The paramount issue is
the psychological issue of personal,
fundamental honesty. Is the indi-
vidual citizen willing to produce all
the wealth he requires and to work
and vote to render it impossible
henceforth for anyone, by any finan-
cial hocus-pocus, to acquire wealth
that others have produced? That's
the issue. Along that line will be
fought the battle for the control Of
that twilight zone in business where
dog eat dog | sstill to often the
rule. When coherent and master
full majority of our people gets the
full significance of this issue and in
sists that he who produces more
than he acquires is a public bene-
factor, but that he who acquires
! more than he produces is social
parasite, then means will be found
of Kidding our civilization of the pre-
datory business type, and of giving
each individual the full product of
his toll of Drawn or brain. 1t is to
this end that the beneficient social
forces of our day are trending.
Regulated competition is un-
questionably better than irrespon-
sible nd uncontrolled competition J..
Moreover, by the slow, sure means
of experience, Federal and State con.
troll of business is becoming at once
more elastic and more effective.
But no perfection Of the mechanism
iof such control can ever overcome
the inherent limitations Of thi'
method of promoting social ant
economic justice.
"As President Wilson has indicat
, ed, the time is ripe for a co-opera
ton that is not exclusive or oppres
sive, but rather inclusive and bene
ficient, founded on the principle
! the open door, and dispensing 1t
3 profits among all who participate Il
y its activities according to the meas
8 ure of their participation"

Report Presented
To President en-
Practices of Machin-
cry Manufacturers

Washington. April 26-Some OF
the practices of nationwide associa.
tions of manufacturers and dealers
of farm machinery are characterize.
ed as being of doubtful legality
tending to limit competition and in.
crease prices, while large part oil
them are held to be proper for pro.
lection of legitimate interests, in q
report by the old Bureau Of Corpor.
atoms submitted today to President
Wilson. The report was drawn be.
fore the Bureau was merged with
the new Federal Trade Commission
Almost every important manufac.
turer of farm machinery, the repor,
says, is a member of the National
Implement and Vehicle Association
while the dealers have organized the
National Federation Of Implement
and Vehicle Dealers Associations
which is composed of numerous state
and interstate associations. The two
organizations are national in scope
and work in close cooperation.
Efforts of manufacturers to fix
wholesale prices, control of retail
prices, concentrated control of pat
ents, opposition of dealers to direct
transactions between manufacturers
and consumers, as well as efforts to
reduce costs of manufacture and dis
tribution, are reviewed at some
length. The fight of organized deal
ers against competition of mail or
der houses, the report says, has
been carried to the extent of efforts
to have postal rtes revised to in
crease charges on packages and to
curtail advertising facilities of mail
order houses by persuading manu-
facturers who sell through dealers
not to advertise in farm papers
which carry mail order advertise
ments.
The great problem of the dealers
associations, the investigators found,
was to find some lawful means of
keeping members informed of manu-
facturers who refuse to confine their
trade to regular dealers. -
while the organized dealers, dis
claim any intention of maintaining
black list or of instituting a boy
colt against anyone" says the re-
port, at is clear that If they be
permitted to disseminate informa-
ton of this character, those loyal
to the principles of their associations
would refuse to continue business
relations with offending maRufac.
turers even in the absence of an ex.
press agreement to do So"

Greet WearerS
OF The Gray
Next Month

Richmond, Va, April 26-At this
time next month the old capital OF
the Confederacy will be alive with
Confederate veterans, sons of Con-
federate veterans, daughters of the
Confederacy, memorial associations
and distinguished guests from all
parts of the country. The occasion
will be the silver jubilee or twenty
fifth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterons, together with
the annual meetings of numerous af-
filiated organizations.
Realizing that, by the very force
of nature, they will probably never
again have the opportunity to enter
tain the soldiers of the lost cause"
the citizens of Richmond, around
which city they fought for so many
years, are bending every energy to
make the approaching reunion an
event long to be remembered.
The dates named for the annual
gathering are June / 2 and 3, and
every preparation is being made
looking to the comfort and pleasure
of the thousands of visitors who will
be here on those days. Food in
abundance and healthful lodgings
are gratuitously awaiting the old
soldiers. Varied amusements will be
provided and the general executive
committee, having in charge all ar
rangements, announce that no ex-
tortionate fees will be extended from
visitors by hotels and boarding
houses.
President Wilson has signified his
intention to be present on one day
of the reunion if his official duties
will permit. Invitations likewise
have been accepted by the governors
of fifteen States of the South. Other
guests of the reunion will be the
widows of famous Confederate lead
ers, Mrs. J. f. B. Stuart, Mrs. Geo.
Pickett, Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee, Mrs. A.
P Hill and Mrs. w. II. F. Lee.
Three notable events will be in
cluded in the reunion program, in
addition to the memorial exercises,
business sessions, parade and other
features which custom has prescrib-
ed for the annual national gather
jngs of the veterans. These three
events will be the unwilling of a
tablet in Hollywood Cemetery to the
women of the Confederacy, the open
ing to the public Of the Confederate
Memorial Institute, or Battle Abbey
and the laying of the cornerstone o
the Stonewall jackson monument. l
Is also expected that brass cannon
will be unveiled on Monument Ave
nue., marking the location of Con
federate batteries which formed tn
inner fertilization of Richmond.
Each of these events will be mad
the occasion of interesting exercises
In addition to the many celebrate
Southern commands that will TAX
part, the Richmond Light Infantr
Blues Battalion will have as i,
guests during the reunion, the Coz
eriors' Foot Guards of Hartford an
