whole nation and I resent that"
A plea for prohibition was made by
Representative Rainey, Of Illinois,
Democratic member of the Ways and
Means Committee, who declared the
committee had reached the conclusion
that the government can be conducted
without the revenues received from the
liquor traffic The 100000 drug users
in the United States have developed to
greater extent in the immediate
neighborhood of saloons, mr. Rainey
declared.
Replying to MI Rainey, Representa-
tive Meeker, OF Missouri, Republican,
charged the Anti-Saloon League with
being financed by drug firms and with
fostering the use of drugs
"rhe Anti-Saloon League IS an ad-
vance agent for users of drugs" said
Mr.. Meeker. "The drug firms are Fl
nancng the Anti-Saloon League, and
those who vote in favor Of this bill will
do so under the lash of the Anti-Saloon
League. 1t IS the only organization
that demands secret pledges from can
didates before the primaries.
"This organization, that will take
S1,o00,oo0 annually from drug stores,
will not stop ot anything to DESTROY the
regulations of men who do not agree
with its principles"
Meeker charged that anti saloon lead
ers az not engaged in war work be-
cause they are 100 busy directing what
should be done at the CAPITOL" and
added that prohibition legislation is
before Congress only because of their
activity.
Replylng to Mr.. Meeker, Representa-
tive Decker, of Missouri (Democrat)
said many Anti-Saloon League mem
oers are war workers, and that any
statement to the contrary was to he

three exceptions, the entire Mjssor~i
delegation in the House would vote

Advancing across the floor of the
House to Mr.. Meeker's desk. Mr.
Decker said that there arc people who
are professional anti -prohibitionists >,
and added that Mr.. Meeher was elected
from brewery district" in St. Louis.
In reply to another member Mr..
Decker denied that he ever had been
asked to sign a secret pledge sent out
by the Ant-Saloon League. Mr..
Meeker immediately jumped to his feet
and. advancing to Mr. Decker, said:
DO you mean to say that it has not.
been done?'
You will not intimidate me-" replied
Mr.. Decker.
As the two Missouri Representatives
stood facing each other there were
calls from other members for order.
"lll maintain order here" replied
Mr.. Decker, amid applause
Returning to his seat, Mr. Meeker
said he would put into the record a let
ter proving his charge that secret
pledges are demanded of candidates
for Congress by the Anti Saloon
League.

Crusade on Ticket Sharks

Theatre ticket speculatng is non
essential occupation, especially when
soldiers and sailors are held up and
forced to pay anywhere up to 200 Der
cent in excess of the face value of
tickets to attend performances given

This is the opinion of District At

where licensed dealers were found
guilty of such practices Commissioner
