THE CONSTRUCTIVE COURSE

- Senator Hale, OF Maine, IN STATE
ment last week on the work accom-
pished by Congress, warmly resents
the imputation cast upon the Senate ID
some quarters that the rich industrial
interests Of the country were improp-
erly favored In the stand that body
made for the conservative taxation OF
excess profits instead Of applying the
drastic and destructive policy OF con-
ffscation. There could have been only
one result Of the conhseation propa-
ganda that urged the taking Of practtc-
ally all. the profits OF the manufactur.
ing industries, If 1t had succeeded IN
being incorporated IN the war revenue
bill. It would have contracted produc-
ton, prevented expansion and Destroy
ed all initiative and cooperation with
the government in the vigorous pros
ecution Of the war.
The animus Of the persons who
were active In disseminating the con-
fseatory suggestions is well known.
It was started by a class OF pol
itlcians who are forever appeal
ing to the disorderly clamor
against wealth and success. 1t is
poor payment to the American manu-
Iasturer that he should be called a
proflteer, but time rectiies all wrongs
Of this kind, and the government to-
day is beginning to show to the people
that it has full confidence in the manu-
fatcurer and the business man, and it
Incorporating with him in arranging
prices which are fair and just. 1t takes
a. long time to catch up with lie, but
the lie Of profteering Is nearly e1-
ploded.
The greatest significance connected
with this whole matter is the spirit of
cooperation that is being manifested.
The producers have taken the position
that the government must have all the
help that it is possible to give, that
the question OF prices or penalties
must not stand in the way. and that
they know that the government seeks
only to do what is right and fair. On
the other hand the government takes
the position that fair prices solve not
only the problem Of cooperation but
also makes possible the output which
Is necessary That IS logical. Low
prices, even il not confscatory. would
seriously affect many comparatively
small producers. drive them to the
wall and to that extent reduce and cur
all production.

FIND BOOMERANGN
LEGISLATIVE BILL
Measure Directed Against b.
reau of Education En-
ployes Too Sweeping.

Something like a near-panic has
been caused among Senators and
House members.by the discovery that
a provision has been put into the leg
islative bill in the Senate which might
prevent members of Congress and all
persons In the Government service
whose pay is provided for in the leg
islative bill from drawing any pay
for outside work or service OF any
kind unless that service should be for
a State, a county, or some public in
stitution.
The provision which has caused the
excitement is the Chamberlain amend
ment to the legislative measure
which is intended to prevent persons
on the rolls OF the Bureau of Educa-
ton from drawing salary from either
the Rockefeller or Carnegie Founda-
lions, OF from similar outside insti-
buttons.
The Chamberlain amendment IL of
a sweeping character and Senator
Smoot. on Investigation discovered
the language was SO sweeping that
1t could be construed as barring Con-
gressmen from drawing pay or funds
from any outside source other than
a public one.

enacted legislation which denies to
the people of the National Capital the
right OF participation in their Govern
ment."
Board of Trade Asks Vote.
The representatives OF the Wash
ington Board of Trade, Chris ]
GoeckIer and odelI s. Smith, told the
committee that that organization was
not taking sides with the "drys" or
the "wets, but based their argument
solely on the right OF the people of
the District OF Columbia to vote on
the issue. Mr.. Goeckler presented a
copy of the resolutions recently
adopted by the Board of Trade in be-
half of a referendum vote.
Congressman Mapes, a dry" men,
Der of the committee, asked IL the
board wanted a referendum because
It was feared Congress would go con-
trary to the wishes OF the District.
Before Mr.. Goeckler replied several
members of the Committee started to
answer and Congressman. Hamill of
New Jersey. said he understood the
District would like to have a referen-
dunn on all matters, including taxa
ton. Mr.. Mapes asked IL Mr..
Goeckler favored woman suffrage in
such a referendum.
"You gentlemen are having lot
OF trouble yourselves regarding the
woman suffrage ISSUE" said Mr..
Goeckler.
As the representative of the Inter
national Coopers' Union, Andrew c.
Hughes. its president, read long
editorial on personal liberty" from
the Coopers' Journal. He told the
committee his organization opposed
"sumptuary legislation that would

living"
Mr.. Hughes said he could not con-
ceiye of Congress denying the peo-
pie of the District a vote on pro-
hibition.

RAIDER SUNK, BUT
CONVOY ESCAPES
Reliable Information Regarding
South American Sea Battle
Received by Cruiser.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 16.-Ths
German sea raider was sunk BY the
British cruiser Amethyst. but q con-
verted German cruiser conveying the
sea terror escaped, according to reli-
able Information concerning the much
reported naval battle reaching here
today.
This version was said to have been
received by wireless by the com
mander Of the British cruiser Glss-
gov, which put into Rio harbor To-
day.
The Amethyst was said to have
been greatly damaged in her en-
counter with the raider and cruiser.
The newspaper Correio da Mania
had still another version today, al
though agreeing in the main with the
one above.
II asserted there were several Brit
ish cruisers in the action, which was
fought against three large steamers.
One of the latter IL supposed to have
been beached In Q sinking condition
and another greatly damaged
The Amethyst, according to this ac-
count, was only slightly damaged.

"DRY" AMENDMENTS ADDED
Postofflee Bill Bars Liquor "Ads"
From Dry States.

Prohibition Senators were jubilant
today over the fact that in connec-
ton with the postoffice bill another
step toward dryness had been taken.
Amendments to the postoffice bill,
which have been adopted as a part OF
II, excludes liquor advertisements
from the mails in States which legis-
late against such advertising. The
Importation of liquor into States that
prohibit Its manufacture and sale for
beverage purposes Is made a crime
by another amendment, which was in
serted In connection with the one
against liquor advertising.
While the Senate was putting dry
amendments in the postoffice bill,
the House Judiciary Committee was
reporting favorably the national pro
hibition amendment.
The amendment to the postoffice
bill relating to liquor advertising
was pressed by Senator Jones. Sem
ator Reed of Missouri added to this
the amendment to make IL 4 crime to
ship liquor into dry States.
Prohibition States will be made
bone dry" IL the Reed amendment
prevails. Considerable wonderment
was expressed that Senator Reed pre-
sented II, inasmuch as he has opposed
dry legislation and the dry Senators
were casting about today to discover
whether there was any joker in 1t.
Apparently, they could find none.
Tobacco, candy, and popular novels
will follow whisky on the blacklist of
prohibitionists, Foster GIIroy. general
manager OF Puck. told the House
Postoffice Committee today, IL the
Bankhead bill Is passed by Congress.
Gilroy opposed the bill, which would
exclude from the mail liquor adver-
tisements going to States where such
advertising is barred by local laws.
