Blue CRUSADE
NOW FADING
Members Of Congress Find
Tax and Tariff Problems
Enough TO Think About

WASHINGTON. d. C.. April g.
The national blue law threat has
faded into the limbo of forgotten
things
Fathered by the Rev. Wilbur r.
Crafts. head Of the National Reform
Bureau. a sentiment for national
blue laws was created here in the
late days Of the session Of the last
Congress that caused members Of
Congress TO shudder. and gave rise
to reports among the credulous and
ignorant that the final judgment day
was approaching.
But Wayne b. Wheeler. Anti
Saloon League leader. who had
brought about the prohibition re-
form. issued a statement that times
were not ripe for other reforms OF a
national character. and the timid at
heart took courage.
Members Of Congress SHE'D from
the blue law issue as the bootlegger
does from the revenue officer. and
refused to stand sponsor for it in tho
House. II is true that Senator Wes-
ley l. Jones OF Washington, a true
blue reformer, presented model
blue law TO the Senate. but Il was TO
be tried out only on the District OF
Columbia. The Senator was suf-
fciently modest 10 disclaim author
ship for the reform measure and an
nounced it had been introduced by
request.
Tax and tariff revision and mat
ters equally weighty have engrossed
the attention of the national legis-
lators recently. Many OF them be-
ing Of single track minds" they
have been unable 10 take on another
weighty subject like national blue
laws with their prickly political
points and they have discouraged
most industriously any agitation OF
the subject.
Promoters Of the national blue
laws sentiment have ben made 20
feel the unwelcome nature Of their
demands in cold receptions and brief
denials Of interest, and, like the
Arabs. they have folded their tents
and silently stolen away"
