LEGISLATURE REACTS
TOWARD LIBERALISM
Meek Submission Ends With
Senators Taking Lead.

SPECIAL Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. Feb. es.
A reaction toward liberalism on the
prohibition question Is becoming evident
IN the Legislature. which for several
years has submitted meekly to every
propaganda wave Of ultra dry organiza-
tions. With national prohibition in ef-
feet the legislators believe that they have
given the drys everything that they can
reasonably ask. Consequently there was
revulsion Of feeling against the radical
prohibitionists among the lawmakers
when William II. Anderson of the Anti
Saloon League demanded provisions in
the State dry enforcement bills which
went way beyond the volstead act.
The administration leaders refused TO
put the Anderson restric ctions IN their
bills. Those which were reported 10 the
Assembly this week. on the other hand.
were made as liberal as possible under
the Federal dry law. The feeling against
the ultra drys In the Legislature has
grown 20 such an extent that while
there Is little doubt that the Governors
enforcement bills will pass, they will
meet some difficult obstacles In the Sem
Ns@.
One OF the snags already has been met
IN the Senate judiciary Committee.
which has one of the prohibition en-
forcement bills. Senator Burlingamc has
announced that there are not now
enough votes In the committee to report
the bill The opposition has caused the
leaders to call a conference Of Republi-
can Senators for Monday night and II
may be necessary 20 bind the majority
~ caucus.
After the rebuff given him by the -r-
fusal OF the Administration leaders 70
accept his ideas on prohibition Anderson
had Asssmblyman Slacer OF Buffalo in
troduce n bill containing all the pro-
visions sought by the Anti-Saloon
League. Legislators who have studied u
declare that 1t reverses the old English
idea of justice that one is innocent until
proven guilty Under the Slacer bill n
man could be dragged to Jail II he was
even suspected Of violating the law.

There can be no doubt that tide
of spleen is mounting against Premier
Lloyd George, and there Is equally no
doubt that this tide will not be effec-
| tive against him until Great Britain
answers the question: What better
man is available to head the Govern
ment?
This week was marked by a new
phase of the fight against the Coalition
Government. with the acquisition by
the Opposition of two most important
'intellectuals"zthe Archbishop of
Canterbury and Earl Grey If Earl
GreY's health only permitted his entry
into the political hurly burly it is evi-
dent that there Is place for him in
popular. as well as in political,
opinion. But with the single excep-
ton of Earl Grey there is no Briton
who is Mr.. Lloyd Georges parliament
tary equal or who possesses Mr.. Lloyd
Georges authoritativeness.
Just as 1t was the Irish issue and
the promised settlement of 1t that Mr..
Lloyd George forced on the Coalition a
year ago, so 1t Is Ireland upon which
the Coalition may be broken. When
the Sim Fein did not find it possible
to come to common ground with the
Premier last July--a time when even
Ulster might have been induced to
negotiate-Mr. Lloyd George determined
to force through his own home rule bill
and TO root out the Sim Fein, whatever
the cost might be.
Control Gained by Sinn Fein.
July and August was time when
"the Kings writ didn't run Ireland"
The Sim Fetn had undoubted control of
the island and the Government recog-
nized the fact There has never been
reason to disbelieve the statement made
at that time that Ear,onn de Valera,
President of the Irish Republic" :"
recognized this fact. too, and wrote a
letter to Dublin urging a settlement
along the lines of dominion home rule.
The Sim Fein adherents on the spot,
however. misJudged the situation, hop
Ing for American interference, and did
not believe England would ever dare
take such desperate means as were
necessary to break up the Irish Re-
publican organization. which extended
all the way from the courts to the viii
lage pound
Premier Lloyd George took up the
challenge. 1t did require desperate
means. Indeed. the means adopted were
so desperate that Sir Hamar Greenwood.

officers are now squirming uncomfort-

so far falling to disnroye the cha roes
with the result that Earl Grey accepts
as truth the declaration that the British
Constitution is being disregarded and
the Archbishop OF Canterbury says the
same of common Christianity.

Infinite difficulties and annoyances
incident TO the revenue system will be
removed, Senator Smoot CUtah) of the
Finance Committee told the Senate to-
day in the first debate of the session
on revenue problems. He gave notice
that he will propose a general sales
tax of l per cent. In place of the ex-
cess profits tax. and estimated tina;
revenues would exceed 81 100000 900 an
nually under his bill.
Western Senators manifested opposi-
ton TO the measure to-day, and Sen
ator McCumber (N. d. challenged
Senator Smoot's assertion that the total
of the tax, where applied on a number
OF sales, would not exceed 21b per cent.
He insisted that 1t would mean ! per
cent. tax for every exchange made.
Senator Smoot replied by saying the
per cent. he proposed applied merely
TO the profit taken on the sale and
not to cost plus the profit.
Senators on this floor, and indeed
the American people, will welcome the
sales tax If they will give 1t fair
trial." Senator Smoot replied to the
criticisms offered 1T is the simplest
and most desirable form OF tax ever
devised. II has so proven in places
where IL has been tried. In France It
was imposed during the war, and re-
ports from there greatly favor it, 1t

Sale OF alcoholic beverages on all
oceangolng vessels OF American and
foreign registry touching American
ports Is proposed In a bnl offered in
the House to-day by Representative
Edmonds Of Philadelphia. He also Of
fered two amendments to the mer-
chant marine act which will liberablize
native shipping opportunities.
During the last session, at the re-
quest of American shipping interests.
Mr.. Edmonds offered bill which would
have amended the prohibition enforce
ment act to permit American vessels
to provide alcoholic beverages for their
passengers. In the press OF legisla-
tion this measure was lost.
His new measure was not referred to
the Judiciary Committee OF ths House.
Of which Mr. volstead is chairman.
where Il was referred during the last
session, but was referred to the House
! Committee on Merchant Morine and
Fisheries. of which Mr.. Edmonds is the
ranking Republican member.
There was considerable comment here
over this fact. but 1t Is not believed
there will be objection IN vi.y OF the
fact that the Judiciary Committee al
ready has conducted extensive hearings
on the subject. 1t is contended that
since the matter pertains to development
OF the American merchant marine and
the bill does not contemplate permitting
serving or sale OF liquors inside the
three mile limit II is properly for the
Merchant Marine and Fisheries Commit
tee to consider.
The bill does not apply to cargo car
trade ships. 1t provides also that the
liquor supplies on all vessels entering
the three mile limit shall ne sealed.
Admiral Benson, chairman Of the
United States Shipping Board. and the
leading men in the American shipping
business have declared the prohibition
law, II continued in its application to
American shipping, would ruin the de-
velopment or an American carrying
business.
One Of the amendments proposed to
the merchant marine act offered by Mr.
Edmonds to-day authorizes the Presi-
dent to suspend the army transport SER
vice and make a contract wherever 1t
can be found that the line OF the trans
port service can be used as & basis to
build up paying freight and passenger
service.
The other amendment offered by Mr..
Edmonds Is intended to place the Fan
anna Steamship Company. a Government
owned organization. on an equal basis
with Shipping Board vessels so there
can be no conflict OF freight rates op-
Grating TO the disadvantage of either.
