DRY ENFORCEMENT
ACTS PASS SENATE
BY VOTE OF 29 TO 20
One of Three Measures, for
Recovery of Damages, Gets
80 to 10 Vote.

ALBANY, March 22.--The three
Mullan- Gage Prohibition Enforcement
Bills were passed by the Senate to-
day and now go to Gov. Miller for ap-
proval. The vote was 20 to 90 on the
bills designed to place the burden OF
enforcement upon local peace officers
and to repeal the Walker 2.75 Beer
Law, and 30 to 16 on the bin designed
to permit persons injured by an in
toxicated person to recover damages
from the one who sold the liquor.
Minority Leader Walker opened the
debate by attacking the measures.
This Is a ridiculous situation" NE
said, when in an endeavor to prac-
tice economy we purpose to appr-
opriate vast sums Of money to en-
force a law which the State cannot
amend"
Senator Walker asserted that in or
der 10 enforce the Volstead act pro-
perly and effectively at least one po-
liceman to every three families would
be needed. The police. he ssid, are
now criticised because during the
crime wave they can not give 100
per cent. protection, and yet 1t is
planned to place upon them the bur
den OF enforcing the prOhfbitory laws
The search and seizure provision
Of the Enforcement Bill was criti-
clsed by the minority leader, who al
legged that it would AFFORD an oppor-
tunity to any person to cause humili-
alton to any one with whom he was
offended.
Senator Fred b. Pitcher Of JOfrer-
son supported the bill. mo one but
hyPocrite can defend legislation of
this kind" said Senator Martin q.
McCue, Democrat, of New York
THE Volstead Act, after which this
is patterned, is fanatical and dis
| honest"
There Do no reason" said Senator
McCue, why the State should a.
sumo the expense Of enforcing the
Federal Prohibition Law. The STATE
Is not called upon to enforce the itn.
migration laws, or any Other Fedora
matter"
Nathan Straus jr., another New
York City Democrat, criticised two ot
the bills but said he favored passagJ
of one which Is designed TO provide
that a persion injured by an 4ntoHi,
Gated person may recover damages
from the one who sold the liquor u
the person who caused the injury.

cOrdingly as the court was informed
whether the firms and individuals had
been active in enforcing the terms of
the Code Of Practice" Some indi-
viduals were let Off with fines and in
few instances OF both corporations
and individuals sentences were sus-
pended.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Kenneth NJ. Spence informed Justice
McAvoy that j. MCMILLAN & Co. and
Franklin Bean as an Individual had
been entirely frank before the Lock
wood committee and in the course
OF the Grand Jury investigation and
that George e. Gibson & Co. and

to pass the Fordney Emergency Tar

taken with a grain Of salt,
An emergency tarin bill will be

many things point TO the probability

had been the slightest chance OF an

many things we're inserted in the

of an effort TO make sure that the

bring about its veto.
Leading Republicans have private
" condemned the Fordney BIZ as
unscientihc. The plan TO reserve the
measure and put It through both
Houses in the same form as it was

many American business houses af-

ENAToR ADMITTED SUGAR
COST MIGHT ADVANCE.

Senator McCumber admitted during
the recent debate that the cost OF
sugar might rise and possibly ether
articles Of food. but that II would help
the farmer and other interests and
therefore was o good thing In the long
run. The politicians are not 30 sure
that a rise in the cost of living right
now would be received with euthu-
siasm by the great body OF meu and
women voters, who elect a new Con-
gress a year from next autumn. East
ern Republicans ATE for the most part
counseiling caution and are reminding
the Westernsrs OF the fact that the
k0publican Party lost control Of the
house In 1910 on precisely the same

ONE CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE
BY PRESIDENT.

When once the Fordney Bill is
opened up, other changes will be in
sisted upon. President Harding him
self has already made one change
a request that the measure apply for
six months instead OF ten. This will
affect certain schedules because al
ready certain changes in economic
conditions have occurred which rem

Senator Penrose has indicated that
he means to go along with the pan
TO pass the Fordney measure, which
he originally wanted killed. There's
a story that Mr. Penrose turned the
management OF the bill in the Senate
over to Senator MoCumber Of North
Dakota in the belief that the latter.
by a combination with the Demo-
Gratis, would surely bury the Fordney
measure. But Mr.. MOCumber turned
out TO be an ardent champion of the
bill.
The astute leaders OF the Republican
Congress are. confronted with per-
picking problem. They know that to
resist the tariff in the present state of
world instability with costs of pr0duc-
tions changing constantly and price
levels uncertain Is to attempt a dan
gerous Job. which may react pohti-
cally. But. on the other hand, there
are men like Representative Fordney
