carrying out this suggestion. Rep

Presidents attitude.
In processing a duty on long sta

abandoned the plan to provide a
duty on all kinds OF cotton. The

cotton, caused, the change in plan.

Senator King, of Utah, again
blocked the District $3.50 bill when
it was reached upon the Senate
calendar yesterday in the, regular
order of business. Senator Jones,
of Washington, author of the meas
ure, gave notice that he would
rress for it's consideration on next
Monday, or as soon as the calen-
far is again taken up for consider

Senator King is understood to he
prepared for a fight on the meas
ure and will speak at considerable
length. 1t is the bill restoring the
fiscal system by which the Federal
government shares half the ex-
penses of the National Capital.
Those who are urging passage OF
the bill say that the old half-and-

FARMER AID BILL
CETSPRECEDENCE
OVER BEER DEBATE
Senate Delays Action on
Measure to Block Wet
Prescriptions.

The Senate, by a vote of 81 to II,
decided yesterday to- take up the
Norris bill creating a 100000. 900
government corporation to export
farm products.
This action automatically shelves
the Campbell-wiliis bill forbidding
doctors to prescribe beer as medi-
cine in accordance with the ruling
of former Attorney General Nit
chell Palmer. 1t is probable, how
ever. that the respite will be short.
The present understanding Is that
the antibeer bill will be brought
forward again as soon as the Norris
bill is out of the way.
Sentiment Declines.
The vote, nevertheless. indicates
that the Senate does not regard the
Campbell Willis bill as an emer-
gency measure, as the drys have
contended. Some Senators also re-
gard it as a sign that the Senate
has. grown less responsive to the
demands of the Anti-Saloon League.
which is clamoring for immediate
passage of the measure.
The chief Significance of the vote
lies in the fact that the so-called
agrarian bloc, the bipartisan alli-
ance of Western and Southern Sem
ators, was again able to control the
Legislative program. The bloc
wanted the Norris bill to take pre-
cedence over the antibeer bill, and
il won an easy victory.
Preceding the roll call was a
lively debate, in which the merits
of beer as medicine versus govern
ment aid to the farmers was dis
cussed at length.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska
chairman of the Agricultural Com
mittee, himself an ardent dry" in-
sisted that relief to the farmers
must be furnished at once. Sena.
/ tor Eroussard. of Louisiana, Demo
/ ~rat. pointed out that the Treasury
Department had not yet promul-
gated rules for granting prescrip-
tion permits. Senator Sterling, OF
South Dakota. who has charge OF
the antibeer bill. told the Senate II
must act with the utmost prompt
ness, because breweries were de-
manding that the Treasury issue
| beer rules.
Senator Norris pictured Senator
Sterling with his little bill in one
hand and an empty beer bottle in
the other hand. insisting that the
country hold it's breath while Con-
gress passes a law to prevent q
doctor from prescribing a glass OF
! beer for a patient"
Senator Stanley. of Kentucky
tacetiously protested against the
use of such language in speaking
of such a solemn issue"
Senator Sterling asserted the de-
mand for passage of the antibaer
bill was widespread. As final con-
vincing proof of this. he read a
telegram from Kentucky distiller'
urging its passage. This provoked
| considerable laughter in view OF the
distillers well-known solicitude fol

Two amendments to the Fordney

may decline to grant without res
