STATE PRINTER GETS
SALARY RESTORED
Senators Discover They Have
Made Error and Hasten
to Correct It.

(From a STAFF Correspondent

" otdH Correspondence
Lincoln, April 1l.-(Special. 1.-The

stored to $500 in the senate commit
zee of the whole today, after the
finance committee had cut it to $1,000,
IN amending and reporting out House
Roll No. 794, the house salaries bill.
Senator Kohl himself chairman of
the finance committee, moved the
restoration of the former salary, ex-
planning that there had been an error
il this clause of the bill The salaries
bill, as amended by the committee,
went through with only one other
change.
The salary OF the state veterinarian
vas made to read $4,000 instead of
$z40O, on motion of Doty, to conform
to law passed by the present legis-
lature.
Another measure, House Roll No.
425, conforming the organization of
the National Guard to the national re-
quirements, was amended to fit the in
crease in salary made by the senate
standing committee amendments to
the salaries bill.
The original bill changed the adju-
iant generals salary from $1,000 to
$1,000, the assistant from $1,000 to
81 800 and the disbursing officer from
5000 to $1,000. The house in passing
the bill changed the salaries back to
the old basis. The senate committee
OF the whole set them forward to the
original figure again, and tackled on
an emergency clause.

A Mistake In the Food Bill

The prompt passage of the Administration Food
Control bill by almost unanimous vote by the House
of Representatives in itself gratifying evidence of
the desire of that body give prompt and decisive sup
port to the Governments war policy The Senate has
been giving almost much time and attention to the
same if it not necessary for it to org
in the House. and is to be hoped that may act
with similar promptness this week and with as near an
approach to unanmity. That would have a great
moral effect upon sentiment not only in this country
but abroad.
The bill passed the House by vote of 365 to s. but
the Webb prohibition amendment was thrust into it
by vote of 1872 to 14 the total falling nearly 120 be-
low the affirmative on the final passage. Putting this
radical provision in the bill sad mistake and is
likely to cause contention and delay the final vote Even
in war measure its validity is questionable, and after
the war it could not be continued without change in
the Constitution. Enforcing the policy which it rep
resents would be dreadfuly costly and cause a vast
deal of injustice and dissatisfaction. Great property
interests would be sacrificed and serious industrial and
commercial disturbance would be caused at time when
above all that should be avoided. Taking occasion of
such an exgency force an absolute prohibition policy
upon the Government is dScredabe to those who even
assent to it.
The way the provision stood in the Lever bill would
accomplish all that reasonably be expected in
limiting the of food products during the war for
making stimulating beverages No grain could be used
for distilled liquors and limit could be put upon their
use for brewing Liquors already distilled and in
storage could be Communicated for legitimate medical
and mechanical and beer and wines could continue
in under certain restrictions. This was going far
enough for the emergency and might result in much
progress in the general policy of temperance if not of
abstinence This provision in the bill passed by the
House would sacrifice good deal of needed revenue
and do far more harm than good all around 1t should
be cut out

Against Public Policy

The results of the national prohibition amendment
to the food bill passed by the House are precisely what
might have been expected measure of the first con-
sequence to the successful prosecution of the war is
halted, bitter fight issue only indirectly con-
nected with it is precptated and the plans of the Gov
eminent for raising revenue seriously INSTRUCTED
Those who believe in temperance rather than abstinence
will agree that the drink bill of the nation ought to be cut
down, that the production of the lighter alcoholic
beverages ought to be restricted if this is necessary to
conserve the food supply But to divide public senti-
ment at time when it ought to be united to delay an
imperativey necessary piece of legislation in order to
settle offhand social and economic question which
is slowly settling ITSELF is to tie the hands of the Ad
minStraton when they ought to be most free. The
pro-German propagandsts could do no more
Should the Senate assent to the action of the House.
the country would face very serious situation. In the
first place. large industries would be ruined They may
be industries which have wrought harm to the COM
munity; but that is not the point They have been long
legazed and their destruction would involve property
loss which would affect other industries as we'll Large
cities like Philadelphia would suffer no small financial
decentralization before they could adjust themselves to
the altered conditions. In the second pace-and this
is perhaps the more important consideration from a
social point of view-intenSe resentment would be
created among large number of citizens particularly
among the working classes 1t would not be the hard
drinkers and the waStrelS only who would be affected.
The sober and industrious men who rightly wrongly
find in the moderate use of beer and wine what they
regard as salutary refreshmen and enjoyment would
find their enthusiasm for the war severely tested.
Apart from all other aspects of the matter, the
loss of employment to nearly million men, the injury
to real estate values, the placing of burden of
taxation national State and municipal upon those who
are already paying their full share, is against every
principle of sound public policy. This is not sane
legislation, whatever else it may be.
