STATEMENT BY DRYS
Say Drastic Law is Needed to
Prevent a Still in Every
Home i'm the State.

MADISON, June 17.-On Moon
shine the new dry enforcement bill
without the Olson Amendment is
weaker than the Mufberger Law
The present Mulberger law prohibits
homemade moonshine; so does the
new bill with the Olson amendment.
Without the Olson amendment there
is nothing in the bill to prevent home
still in every home and the manu-
facture of moonshine for the use OF
the family and "guests."
Up in Oneida County lies m an
blind and paralyzed, who with his
family is likely to become charge
on the tax payers because as "guest"
he accepted a few drinks of hame-
made liquor. Who would vote to
repeal the Olson amendment to per-
nit this?
CamOuflage Saloons
Experience proves that homemade
liquor for use of family and guest"
always becomes the camounag2 under
which liquor is made and sold. The
home moonshiner has host of friends.
They visit him frequently. He "gives
them mmoonshine; they "give" him
presents, or perhaps they give them
to the children. Perhaps they lost
money to him in fake poker games.
In any event the result is always the
same, the "guests" get mmonshine,
the "the host" gets ga consideration
Of value"
Joy riding young men and young
women are frequently numbered as
"guests," under moonshine breaks
down the guards of virtue. Frequent

two generations has prohibited home
made moonshine. Surely no Pro-
gressive' is going to back up for
two generations, especially when his
act would aid those who are at
tempting to evade the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Volstead act.
We therefore look for the Assemb-
ly to keep the lid on moonshine by
concurrence on Bill 547,S without
amendments.
Vets VS.. Dry
There is just one other considera-
ton worthy Of mention. In the
Senate the drys all voted for the
amendment and for the bill as
amended; the vets all voted against
it. In the Assembly the vets are
supporting the attempt to repeal
the Olson amendment and return to
the original bill. We do not be-
lieve that sincere drys are going

WOULD AID COPPER MINES

The general mining laws have long
been found inapplicable to deepseated
copper, deposits overlaid with wash
or nonmineral formations and where
it is necessary to drill holes or sink
shafts to depth of several hundred
feet befre discovery can be had. The
Secretary Of the Interior submitted
a favorable report on bill which pro-
poses to authorize prospecting per-
mits to explore for such deposits up
on not exceeding 1880 acres of pub
lie land in Arizona, New Mexico, Ne
vada and Utah. The bill proposes
that the permittee shall have three
years within which to explore for
the mineral deposits, and the Secre-
tary has suggested that he be requir-
ed to pay permit fee of 25 cents per
acre for the first year and so cents
per ace for each year thereafter, so
per cent of the receipts to be paid to
theestate in which the lands are sit
uated for the construction and main
tenanee of public roads, and SO per
cent to the Treasury of the United
States for the benefit of the United
States for the benefit of the United
clamation.

AMERICAN GOLD

This country now holds $3,175, OOO,-
600 of gold upon which is based the
monetary systems of all the great
commercial nations.
"There is such a thing in finance,
as well as with animals, as ball
anced ration says the Washing
ton Herald, ed;sorially. "Our none
tary ration is too rich, and that OF
the other countries too lean. in gold.
The American banking system has
around 60 per cent of gold reserves.
The Bank of Englsnd is still ex-
pandinp on about 8 per cent in gold
reserves. 1t is said that the United
States now has over 80 cents in gold
back of every dollar of its currency
supply. There was never in the
world such gluttony of this metal"
The Herald is owned, in part, by
Herbert Hoover, though he has no
active part in its affairs. His con-
nection with the paper is associate
in the public mind with matters OF
some Importance as that discussed
in his editorial, which further COM
ments: "Yet Americans are still
hesitating in taking what would
seem to be the simple means OF re-
storing q balanced financial ration
here and across the ocean. This is
not by further credits in any form,
but in sending across, portion OF
this hoard of gold as investments.
It is said that one obstacle to this
is foreign jealousy and an unwill-
ineness to grant to America and
American the rights to make and
safeguard such investments Foreign
nations would prefer further credits
to be used by them in such invest
ments, or in production.
president Harding frowns upon
this. He has notice that if. there
must be an increase of credits, it
shall only be. for purchases made
here to support American industry
and pay. American labor. If this
should force an agreement to invest
mert. it would appear to be happy
result. AS it is over 40 per cent
of the total gold stock Of the world
is locked up here with no place to
Co."

TROUBLES OF THE
TARIFF BILL

n
TIE obstacles which are at present
deadlocking progress on the tariff bill
and blocking the program of general
legislation, include:
Division of opinion between the
east and the west. on agriculture. tar
IFS.
A similar division on the tariff
schedules Sfecting industry and
manufacturers.
Opposition of many manufactu, eres
to a high protection policy in view
of present world conditions and the
necessity of seeking and holding for
eign markets.
]. Inability to agree on the wool, silk,
cotton, lumber and chemical schedules
for the new tariff bill.
Uncertainty as to how much re-
venue will be required from direct
taxation in view Of the enormous ap-
preparations and continued expen-
sion of governmental activities.
Failure to find formula for sspopu-
lar" taxes which the people will pay
without objection.
Failure to find a substitute for the
excess profits tax that viii produce
an equal amount of revenue.
Hesitancy 70 adopt sales tax,
which the ultimate consumer will feel
every time he makes purchase
Lack of any constructive plan for
financing soldier bonus and the
knowledge that if bonus is voted,
taxes will have to be increased even
beyond present excessive proportions.
Conflict over the wool schedule IL
illustrates the troubles the tariff
farmers are having. After exhaus-
tive hearings before the full commit

ject and reported back a tentative

AFTER" or perhaps little cussing
turns it into a duet.
Peoples Decree
Two little words were the cause of
all the trouble. The Volstead act for
bids the manufacture; the Mulberg-
er law forbids the manufacture; this
bill simply forbade the manufacture
for sale" Thus the manufacture was
not forbidden for use, and that in
cludes homemade or moonshine whis-
key as well as moonshine wine and
moonshine beer. The Olson amend
ment simply removed the two words
''for sale," thus correcting the mistake
With those two wrods removed the
bill corresponds to the Volstead act
and the present Mulberger law, and
complies with the contention advanc-
ed by the Governor in his message and
his press statements, that we should
agree with federal law and the peo-
pies referendum verdict.
Not only does the bill without the
Olson amendment disagree with the
Volstead act and the Mulberger law.

The following was taken from the

The following was taken from the
Indianapolis Star on May Goth:
"The fear of Bolshevism result
ing from. the general. strike that has
been declared in Norway is not en-
tertained seriously by those who
know the history of the country and
the character of the people. The
Norwegians are progressive and ag-
ressive, but they are not of kind
to be carried away by radicalism.
The army and navy, it is reported,
have been sent into action in Chris
tiania an dthe other cities to cope
with the situation resulting from
the walkout of the seamen and rail-
way workers. Those forces were
not called on because of peril iof re-
volution, but to maintain order and
to protect property.
Norway, with an AGRA nearly four
times that of Indiana and a popula-
ton 10 per cent smaller thar ours,
is one of the most advanced of the
smaller nations of Europe. 1t is
a rugged land in arigorous climate.
The people are hardy descendants
of the Vikings and for hundreds of
years have been wrestling living
from the stormy North sea and a
none TOO fertile soil. They are in
telligent thrifty, hard working and
not given to excitability. They are
among the last Europeans who
might be- expected to resort to ra-
dicalism or to listen to bolshevisms.
Education is compulsory and there
is no illiteracy except in some of
the remote districts inhabited by the
Lapps. There is no foreign element
of course, and there are practically
no paupers and few millionaires.
While the majority, particularly, in
the smaller communities, have not
much, they are selfrespecting and
industries and live on less than what
they make and all have something.
They are democratic to degree that
has been surprise and an object
lesson to the rest of Europe at times.
1t will be recalled that woman suf-
frage was in effect in Norway long
before it was adopted in the United
States. The Norwegians told the
late King Oscar III what they
thought of him and his regime and
then proceeded to sever the ties
binding them to him and Sweden.
They elected the present King Haa-
kon VII, who has very much less
power than our President. They
are for the rule of the people and the
people are a hard-headed, cool-mind-
ed lot, who are not likely to be
stampedei into sovietism, nor are
they Likely TO tolerate foolishness
on the part of any element, as the
seaman and railway workers"
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-06-23

finally it was decided to ask the tariff
commission to draft a Scientific"
wool schedule to meet the require
ments. This will require three or
four weeks the commission said, and
of course, another three or four weeks
would re required by the committee
to consider the commissions report.
