PENSIONS

The Committee on Pensions met
Tuesday afternoon to consider but
one measure, AM Act relating to the
retirement and pensioning of State
employees.
Attorney Walter M. Sanborn of
Augusta appeared for II employees OF
the Augusta State Hospital. Attor-
ney Sanborn said that all of the en-
ployes he represented had been in the
service of the State for long periods,
two of them for nearly so years. He
argued that the pension bill in its
present form was unfair to those who
had reached the retiring age, as it
makes the granting of pension to
an old employee optional with the
head of that particular department.
There was no opposition.

OPPOSE ANY HASTE
. ON DRY LAW CHANGE
House Rules Committee Delays
Action on VoIstead's Plea for
Rule to Pass Bill Unchanged.

Washington. - Representative Vol
stead and other dry leaders begged the
House Rules Committee for a special
closure rule to rush the supplemental
Eolstead bill through the House with
out amendments, but because of the
opposition that was shown the COM
mittee adjourned without action.
The dry leaders want to get the bill
passeds before the Internal Revenue
Bureau can carry into effect the rul-
ing of former Attorney General Palmer
that beer may be prescribed as medi-
cine. The measure will prevent the
prescription of beer, give the prOhibi-
tion commissioner power to control
liquor permits, regulate Stringently the
use of alcohol in medicine and tighten
up the original Volstead act generally.
. Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee said that no objection
would be made to the section prevent
ing the prescribing of beer, but that
other sections would have to be con-
sidered carefully in view OF the oppo-
Sition.
Predictions we're made that if pre-
scription of beer was put into effect by
the Internal Revenue Bureau the dry
leaders would try to hurry some pro-
hibitive law through congress, but
