initely to abandon further thought of
any sales tax. The committee Is ia
vorable IL general to the treasury pro-

mendatIOn for an increase OF the cor.

Despite an unexpected display of
wet strength, the Senate. on Mon
day, by a vote of 80 To %, passed the
bill prohibiting ply
sicians from prescribing beer as nedi-
cine and otherwise amending the Vol
stead enforcement act.
Wet forces. however, succeeded In
mastering such a formidable array of
votes that tsSx were able to compel
the adopsien E-sdEndments, one of
them so important as TO call forth We
hement protests from ''dry" leaders
that it would hullify the Volstead Law.
This anendagelt v a~offered by Sem
ator Stanley, enfucky IL is de-
signed TO pu, end 90 some of the
practices OF d billion agents which
have been IN ause of wi&s~STead
complaint. Il sldes q fise of Al. COO
and impris0l ~ -tsHe year for
prohibition agents or any Government
employee engaged in enforcement of
prohibitions or any other law who
searches or attempts to search prop
erty or the premises of any person
without securing search warrant.
Whether the amendment will survive
in conferences with the House remains
to be seen, but the vets are determined
IN make hard fight for it. They re-
garded its adoption as the most i'm
portant victory scored by the anti
prohibition forces since the enactment
of the prohibition law.
In addition 70 compelling prohibition
agents to observe the Constitution. the
Stanley amendment provides a fine of
80, 600 and Imprisonment for five years
for INV naPGQu mt a duly aufhnrizad
agent OF the Government who subjects
any person to deprivation of his rights
under the Constitution. This amend
ment is aimed at jealous dryS who
take the Law into their own hands and
at liquor bandits who have been loot
ing cellars all over the country.

 In certain sections of the Dominion these parties work together Recently the Farmers Party, assisted
 in places by the Labor Party, won the Provincial elections in Ontario and Alberta It is admittedly formidable in Manitoba and Sascatchewan Efforts are being made to bring about cooperation between he new parties and the Liberal Party If they should be successful there would be question that the new Canadian Government would be coalition affair with the Conse vatiye Party members in the opposi ton benches
 If fusion understanding, between the Liberals and Farmers or Laborers both of them should fail
 the election will be in grave doubt If all the parties should nominate candidates in all the districts and he voters should in accordance with their party affiliations the Conservatives would probably win However, the opinion is prevalent in great many portions of Canada that the election will show no parts to be in majority. In that case 1t is be- lieyed that the Liberal Farmers and Labor members will arrive at a working agreement and that coali- ton Government probably under the leadership of Mackenzie King the Liberal leader, witt all these parties represented will result. If 1t sh0N ! be found ment could be arrived the only recourse would be another election. The latter contingency is regarded as extremely unlikely.
