CHANGES IN PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT MEASURE
Change i'm Provision Permitting
Search OF Private Homcs-Scizc
Vehicles Carrying Liquor.

Washington, June 26-The pro-
vision of the prohibition enforce
ment bill permitting search of pri-
vate homes for contraband liquor
when the warrant was sworn to "by
at least two creditable persons" was
stricken out by the house judiciary
committee. The system OF search as
provided in the espionage act was
substituted.
Under provisions OF the enforce
ment act as tentatively modified in
committee, transportation of intoxi-
eating liquor in automobiles. aircraft
or other vehicles would prove an ex-
pensive undertaking if tho owner Is
caught As the bill originally stood
il stipulated that the vehicle should
be sold at public auction and the
difference between the selling price
and the amount OF the fines and the
costs should be refunded TO the own
or. The committee changed the pro-
vision TO provide that any surpus
which might remain after tn" fines
and costs were paid should hc given
to the state
The committee also tentatively
agreed to eliminate minimum penal
ties attached to violations OF the
law. for first offenSc. TO permit the
judge to use his own discretion in
sentencing the offender.

However that may be, all these pot
ash plants were established in the
knowledge that they would be called
on to compete with the imported
product if they expected to stay in
business after the war ended. More
than that, 1t is convincingly argued
that the price which congress is ask
ed to fix is utterly disproportionate
to the capital invested in these pot
ash plants. Under the measure
pending at Washington the farmers
of the country would pay $24.OOO,-
600 year to sustain this indus
try, and $16.OOO,OOO Of this amount
would come from the FIVE states of
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina.
This is assuming that the farmers
of these five states, and Of the other
Atlantic seaboard states, buy this
manufactured product at the price
1t is proposed to fix. That they
would do so is very questionable.
They will buy some, OF course: they
bought some even while prices were
running as high as $500 to $500 a
ton. But they have bought potash
at such prices only because there was
the expectation that the price of
cotton would be above 30 cents a
pound, and even then they bought
very little. The use Of potash in
this country has dropped from about
100000 tons up to 1914 to less than
$4,000 tons this year.
One other point. 1t was shown in
the statement of Mr.. j. Ross Ha3a-
han, published in the News and
Courier yesterday, that over so per
cent of the potash used in this
POTASH Two =. >.
country is used in Alabama, Georgia
and the two Carolinas. The other
states which are large purchasers OF
potash are all on the Atlantic coast
except few in the middle belt, like
Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee. The
freight on the domestic potash from
the plants in the western states
ten times as high as the freight on
imported potash was before the war.
The net results OF the bill now
pending can be definitely foretold.
Should it pass all forms OF potash
would cost the consumer from three
to six times as much as the imported
product formerly did Kainit. for in
stance, instead of selling at $3.50 as
it used to do, would sell at the plant
for $50. and the freight would prob
ably approximate $50 additional. 1t
is plain that the effect would be to
reduce the consumption of potash
very drastiCally. We know by act
ual experience what that would
mean The yield of cotton and 9th
cr crops would continue to fall OFF
Whatever surplus of potash there
was in the soil in 1914 has been used
up. Unless the supply of this in
gredient of plant food is renewed
the consequences cannot fail to be
marked.
II would he entirely apt to name
the proposed potash measure a bill
to decrease production while in
attracted much notice, probably be-
cause in the crush of the times very
few people have taken the trouble

OFFICERS:

Within less than two weeks after
the passage of the federal suffragc
amendment six state legislatures had
ratified. The vote in New York and
Kansas was unanimous. In Ohio
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
there was a large majority. The
Pennsylvania senate has voted ia
Vorably and it is practically assured
that the house will also ratify. The
house Of the Texas legislature by a
vote of 90 to 21 adopted the resolu-
tion ratifying the woman suffrage
amendment. Senator Westbrook
senate leader. says l , Of 80 senators
and the president of the senate are
pledged to support the resolution.
Missouri has called special ses-
sion for July . for the purpose of
voting on the amendment Colorado
will also have a special session as will
also number Of other states
Kentucky. Maryland. Mississippi.
Virginia, Massachusetts. Rhode Is
land, South Carolina and New Jersey
have regular sessions of their legis-
latures in January, 1920. The pros
pect of ratification by Sc states in
time for the presidential election
seems very bright.
The fact that there Is no longer a

ment is forcibly demonstrated by the
eagerness for the calling of a special

Will South Carolina fall i'm line
with Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas
in helping to save the south from the
fearful blunder of voting against the
ratification of the suffrage amend

south vote against the equal suffrage
amendment the women in the suf-
rrage states whore party lines are

voting against the Democratic party
in the next presidential election
Without the votes of women the
Democratic party in the 1920 cleo
