HOUSE VOTES ADDITIONAL MONEY =
FOR ENFORCEMENT OF VOLSTEAD
ACT AFTER HEATED DISCUSSION
Commissioner Kramer Bitterly
AssaiIed for Manner Of APP
pealing for Funds.
tey Tho Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, May 23.-After
heated discussion of the prohibition
question during which Commissioner
Kramer was bitterly criticised and as
vigorously defended, the house today
voted an additional 100000 for en-
forcement of the Volstead act July i.
Representatives Volstead proposed
the increase in the total Of the defic-
iency appropriation bill, which the
house was considering, to permit reten-
tiontof federal payro1ls of 100 prohibi
tion agents who Mr.. Kramer had an
nounced would be dropped for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year because of
shortage of funds. The Volstead
amendment was adopted n to 38 less
than one-fourth OF the house member
ship being on the house floor at the
time. but another vote on the increase
can be demanded before the bill is
passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment, however, doubted whether
it would afford relief in time to be of
much value inasmuch as the bill after
by the house must go to the
senate.
During the wrang1ing over the ques-l
tion, Chairman Good, of the appro-
priations committee who opposed the
Volstead amendment, said Mr.. Kra-
mer had violated penal provisions of
law by incurring a deficit and .had
made himself liable to Jail sentence"
81 want Mr.. Kramer to obey the law
just as much as bootleggers.'' he de-
clared adding that $6,900,000 already
had been appropriated for prohibition
enforcement during the current fiscal
year.
Representative Madden, republican.
Illinois, said Mr.. Kramer should have
appealed for funds to congress through
the secretary OF the treasury instead
of through the newspapers and assert
ed that he ought to be discharged"
Mr.. Kramer on the other hand, was
defended by Representative Byrnes,
Tennessee, ranking Democrat, of the
appropriations committee as con-
scientious official doing his best to
enforce the law. The Tennessee mem
Der said that he never had heard it
charged that Mr.. Kramer was not con-
scientious and was guilty .of makeas-
ence In office.
Mr.. Volstead defended Kramer's adj
declaring there was no
ground for criticism
AS the house milled through the de-
ficiency bill today a provision for the
creation Of an office OF First Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury at salary
Of $4,000 year, and an amendment

is stabilized, credits simplified and
business conductd in a smooth and
busfness-like manner. A clearing
house is in effect in every community
where progress is the watchword.
where business is thriving. where
civic success is an accomplished fact.
1t is called the Chamber of Commerce.
The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce has been functioning for some
time. The men who have taken part
in its work have done wonders. A
list OF the good work accomplished
sounds marvellous and because it was
done without blare of trumpets, with
out noise and fuss, little has been
said about it, and only the initiated
know the great amount of work done
and the good results that have come
sto Pensacola from that work.
Now, il so much good has been ac-
complished with: the few who have
worked, how much more would be
accomplished II every ciIi1en, uo

tion, Joined in the good work and

ing themselves progressive while he
passes the "buck."
Supposing that everyone should
shirk and lay down and say "Oh, let
the other fellow do it, and suppos-
ing the other fellow did not do it"
how would the community build up,
and would we live in a city without
pride and comfort in it's advancement
and it's civic institutions; its business
enterprises, its schools, churches and
eleemosynary establishments.
What horrible condition to contem-
plate! Would you want to live in
city like that? If you don't want
to live in a backward, stagnated COM
munity, should you not join the group
of men who compose the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce and assist
them with your mite and advice and
help make Pensacola a greater, better,
more progressive city. 4
The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce is striving with all it's might
to build up businesses for you, for
others. Every business added to this
city means added prosperity in every
line; no one can escape prosperity if
business is good; no one can escape
dependency if business is bad.
The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce is not only clearing house
tor local advancement of ideas, of de-
velopment, but it is a clearing house
of state and national enterprises and
is doing, and is able to do, what no
individual effort could possibly ac-
complish.
Then why not unite yourself with
the workers Of your city and do with
the doers instead of sbeing with the
idle or consorting with the slackers.

Commerce.

Concord was settled soon after the
