Volstead Pleads for Law.
Pleading for a larger sum than
had been fixed for the appropria-
tions committee in framing the
Legislative, executive and judicial
bill, Mr.. Volstead gave warning
that the country would be heard
from if it was the policy of con-
gress to cut down appropriations
and make the job Of enforcement
a joke. Mr.. Volstead said he
merely proposed figure nearer
that which the attorney general
had requested.
Representative Gallivan, Dem
ocrat, Massachusetts, gave the
house it's first indication that a
fight was brewing by proposing
to make the appropriation $780,
100000. Taking up the statement
Of Mr.. Volstead that a good part
of the money spent would come
back in fines, he said:
"Why this miteg Let's go the
limit. Let's help the new admin
istration by bringing back a hun
dred million.

Anti-Saloon League, as . Mr.. Vol

had said he would make it so

that not one dollar should be add
