City Commission
Regular Political
Kaleidoscope

Since January, 1915, the city COM
mission has resembled a regular political
kaleidoscope, and II is no wonder that
business men generally have deplored
the fact that II seems impossible TO
have a city government free from poll
tics, and devoted solely TO the admins
tration Of the municipal corporation.
Memories Of the turmoil created by
the flock OF custer suits which assailed
the courts In 1915 cluster around the
changes which Immediately followed at
the city hall.

ular election In 1915 the fiva men then
elected to the city commission would

held office as either mayor or city
commissioners since January, 1915, n
now there is talk Of other designations,
with the fact that A. p. Mason is GER
tain to resign, unless his friends per-
suade him otherwise, as the first on
the list.

DRY" LAW
BEING FRAMEDlN
HOUSE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-With indi-
cations that q separate bill for enforce
ment Of wartime prohibition would be
reported out before adjournment, leav-
ing enforcement Of constitutional pro-
hibition for a measure TO be framed
later. the house judiciary committee to-
day continued consideration OF methods
for carrying into effect a%ntiliquor legis-
lation. Decision to prepare separate
bills II was said, was reached informal
ly last night by leaders, although all
previous efforts to that end had been
defeated.
A straight, clAar-cut bill for enforce
ment Of wartime prohibition will be
reported out by the house committee.
Decision 70 separate the wartime from
the constitutional prohibition enforce
ment measuremsaid to be The most
drastic liquor bill ever presented to con-
gress-was reached after an all-day
session, which was much like marching
up the hill and then down again. A
proposal hat two distinct bills be
drafted was rejected Tuesday. but II
was brought up again yesterday by
Representative Walsh, Republican, OF
a motion to adjourn abruptly ended the
discussion.
There was no indication as to how
the committee would have voted. but
several leading Prohibition members
agreed last night that in view of the
manifest differences between the two
issues and the possibility that the sale
of beer and light wines might be per-
mitted until January by presidential
proclamation, the wisest thing to do
was to report out the wartime bill
early today and the constitutional bill
later in the day. In this way there is
every assurance, they said, that the
wartime bill would be passed probably
by both houses before the end of the
month, at which time the dry act be-
comes effective.
An amendment by Representative
Steele, Democrat, Pennsylvania, which,
Ii was admitted later, would have NULL
fled the entire law, got through by a
vote of 9 to 5, but subsequently was re-
considered and defeated, 10 to Z. The
amendment stipulated that provisions
'of the enforcement act, except as they
relate to interstate and foreign com
merce, should not be effective in any
state until ratified by the people. 1t
was said last night that one or two
members voted for the amendment as a
Joke"
During the day Democratic leaders in
the house made inquiry Of Chairman
might be expected and we're informed
that 1t might not be ready before Sat
urday.
After more than a dozen committee
roll calls on various provisions, Mr..
Walsh, Mr.. Gard and others jumped ac-
lively into the fight with a vigorous
demand for separation of the measures.
Mr.. Walsh declared that the committee
ought to take the bull by the horns, get
the wartime enforcement bill intro
duced at the last session before the
house and urge quick enactment. Then
II the president wanted to lift the ban
II would only be necessary, he said, to
suspend the act providing for wartime
enforcement and not interfere with leg
islation affecting constitutional prohibit
tion.
