More Truth

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
ARIDITY IN THE LAND OF THE
MIDNIGHT Sun.

MIDNIGHT sun.
No wonder that the strong and virile
Viking
Finds that life is only bitterness
and gall.
For the kick in his potation has
been cut by legislation.
To trifling ~ percent OF alcohol.
Twelve percent-the merest trace Of
ardent spirit
Just enough TO keep a healthy
thirst alive
IN a Yon or Nels or ole, who get lit
but very slowly
On a tipple that Is guaged at IS.
Twelve percent may suit the mild
and gentle Frenchman,
Who can get a thrill from watery
red ink.
But it's little 70 the liking OF the
blonde and giant viking
Who. when he gets good and
thirsty. wants drink.
We have seen EN- in Nebraska and
Dakota,
In the village stores where often
they collect,
Taking alcohol for bracers with for
maldehyde for chasers
And without the least peroeptible
effect.
In the district to the north OF Co.
pher Prairie.
When a blizzard stopped the daily
hootoh supply.
Svenkers. large and calm and placid.
tossed OF raw sulphuric acid.
And nobody ever saw one bat an
eye.
And when Mr. volstead's law shut
down on red eye.
Scandinavians in a certain western
state.
When they noticed the returning OF
the old and well-known yearn-
ing.
Eased their palettes with corro-

Twelve percent--it might arouse us
temperate Yankees
To no end OF merry quips and

But that sort or weakling tipple
wouldn't start single ripple
In a room full OF Norwegians.

But a law that liquor places on 80

I AK REVISION BEFORE. TARIFF,
 SAYS M0NDELL
House, Leader, After Seeing President, Browns On
 Stop-Gap Tariff Plan

WASHINGTON. March 12.- After conference with President Harding Representative Mondell house Re publican leader. in outlining today the probable program and policy of the new congress. declared revenue revision legislation should he consid- cred ahead of any temporary, or stop-gap tariff He held that the en. actment of temporary tariff law would require as much time as would be necessary for a permanent tariff.
 Suggests Anti-Dumpine Act
 If the country demands relief and an emergency law, he suggested that this be confined to simple anti-dumping provision and possibly an amendment to the present law passing rates on American rather than foreign values.
 A"How to tackle the questions of tariff and revenue is the important thing" Mir. Mondell said.
 Tt has been suggested that it would be wise to take up some meas ure, for instance the Payne-Aldrich bill. modify few provisions. but con- tinuingzas it was and pass it as a purely temporary and emergency stop-gap tariff measure The sug- gested program would be to follow that with revenue Legislation and then a permanent tariff bill.
 Doubts Wisdom Of Policy
 Personally. I am somewhat doubt full of the wisdom of that policy. IT it were possible to take the Payne Aldrich bill, and with few changes pass it, speedily, so that it would be on the statute hooks in six weeks or two months. I think it might perhaps be wise to do it.
 But I have grave doubts as to whether this can be done. am not at all certain such a bill would not. when it reached the senate. be op- ened up for many amendments. be delayed in its passage so that instead of securing what is suggested prompt action on a temporary bill- we might find congress considerins for months measure which. start ing as a temporary measure. might finally come to be considered as permanent measure and entirely made over. It would thus lose the benefit of quick action We would also lose in which would become the permanent measure rather than as temporary one.

 Prohibition Enforcement Is, Overthrown

[ could obtain it by the ease. as it probably would be ordered as tonic and. it would appear unreasonable to require person to procure only one or two bottles.
 The new ruling. officials said, nas disclosed that the theory of the prohi- bition enforcement on which the in- ternal revenue bureau has heen pro ceeding has been overthrown.N The prohibition unit. officials explained, has worked on the theory that it pos sessed regulatory powers under the act which permit it to limit the use and distribution Of intoxicants ex- cepted by congress from the general ban. By the most recent view. how ever. officials explained it would seem this theory is denied.
 Regulations will have to be amend ed, officials said. as various rules heretofore promulgated by the bureau are affected more or less directly by the opinion.
