TEXAS APPROACHING
 ARIZONA STANDARDS
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

AUSAIN, Tex, March 6.-The state of Texas took a step nearer statewide prohibition today when the lower house of the legislature passed finally the statutory prohibition bill prohibiting the sale or manufacture of spirituous or malt liquors containing intoxicants and shipment into the state of liquors except for scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes. The bill now goes to the senate where favorable action is predicted by prohibition lead CTS. If acted upon favorably by the senate it will become effective in 90 days after adjournment of the present special session. So far as known, Gov ernor Hobby has not indicated whether he will sign the bill if it passes in the senate. but prohibition leaders express the belief that he at least will allow it to become law.
 The house today concurred in senate amendments of a minor na<ure to the governors vice bill and it now goes to the chief executive for his signature.
 Another of the governors war meas ures, the bill making it penitentiary of ! fense to sell liquor to soldiers and sail ors was passed finally in the senate. It already has passed in the house.

M 'ADOO |S REFUSED
 MORE POWER UNDER
 SENATE OPPOSITION
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, March 6-Bowing to rising opposition in the senate, ad- ministration leaders today cempro- missed the dispute over the security is- sue control provision of the war fi- nance corporation and a tacit agree ment was reached for passage of the measure tomorrow.
 Voluntary. instead of compulsory, H. censing of security issues of s100, 900 or more, was accepted after apother day of spirited debate and of negotiations between Secretary McAdoo and leaders of both factions. The compulsory li- censing plan was stricken from the bill by viva voce vote, together with pro- visions for fine and imprisonment of persons violating orders of the capital issues committee, established to censor security issues.
 The compromise substitute, drafted by Senator Reed, of Missouri, demo- crat and offered by Senator Swanson of Virginia. democrat, after Secretary McAdoo had given his approval, retains the plan for examination of security is sue by a capital issues committee, which is given official and legal status, but with power limited to recommend ing whether such issues are compatible with interests of the war.
 IOl tllc ClduSt ptIldllIlDS NlOldIlOn or the capital issues committees order or regulations, a substitute was adopted providing penalties of $1,000 fine and one years imprisonment for violation of the law. excluding the committees rules.
 With these compromises, attained after much heated debate, only com paratively minor amendments remained | to be disposed of and the bills passage tomorrow was regarded assured.
 Republican Leader Gallinger and Senators Harding of Ohio and McCum- Der of North Dakota, republicans, re- l scented what they termed the inter- | ference of Secretary McAdoo with the functions of congress in legislating. Senator Harding deploring grants of "autocracy powers" and saying the country was war mad" declared he would not vote to give MT. McAdoo any more authority.
 Approving the modification of the securities licensing plan, Senator Un- derwood. of Alabama, democrat, de- clared enormous powers were proposed under the bill and that it would create ''the biggest financial trust the country has ever seen."
Arizona republican., 1918-03-07

important question, the rate-making authority, remained to be settled.
 In lieu of the house provision giv- ing the president rate making auth ority and the senate plan authoriz- ing the president to initiate rates subject to the approval of the inter- state commerce commission, the conferees took up a compromise be- fore the commission in the sugges- tion of rates needed to increase the carriers revenues.
 Another question before the con- ference was the matter of state regu- lation and taxation of the railroads while under federal control.
