Outlook for Better

MORE MONEY is URGED

General encouragement as to the
prospects OF meeting present prohi-
bition enforcement problems through
closer-co-operation between the fed
eral and state authorities and an
earnest appeal for reverence of tho
law was felt today by administration
ofhcials as result of President
Hardings conference on the subject
with state governors.
Among the fourteen state execu-
tives who discussed the subject in
formally with the President and ad-
ministration officials directly inter-
| ested at a White House luncheon
conference yesterday there appeared
to be an almost unanimous opinion
! tnat the way to improvement in the
enforcement situation lay not in re-
1 taxation OF the present enforcement
sia1ute. but rather in more rigid e::-
I ecution of its terms. More severe
| nnes ana prison sentences for viola
\ uons. 1t was said To have been held.
wouIo assist prohibition oficials in
| lection OF prohibition personnel and
I eoucaton OF the public to the neces-
sly OF iaw-reverence were among
other informal" suggestions made.
Haynes IL EncourageS.

1 Prohibition Commi ssioner HAYNES
IN many instances the reports of the
nature e
Indications today were that another
| conference Of governors might be
called early in the new year for a
| more thorough discussion Of the sub
ject.
1 Acccrdsa- -
| attended. there was no suggestion
! rais~d during the three-hou- confer
| ence which indicated belief that tho
situation might be helped by loosen
ing the present stringent enforce
| ment statute. To the contrary, it was
said. the prevalent opinion seemed to
have been that imposition of more
severe INES and prison terms on con
viotion OF violation would assist the
enforcement officisIs in their work
Other suggestions. all OF which werc
declared later TO have been .entirely
informal. included q more careful
| selection of prohibition personnel.
! larger appropriations for the feders
bureau and education OF the general
! public to the necessity OF law-rev-

More Money IL Urged.
Gov. Allen of Kansas said last night
the conference had indicated clearly
L

! forcement Gov. Cox Of Massachu-
| setts-one OF the two states lying
outside this classification-was quot
! ed as OF the opinion that more money
; and more honorable men" were nee
essary. Since the law was on the
; statute books, Mr.. Cox held. it must
be enforced.
| The majority Of the people of Mary

Of obtaining q story about the cele-
brated statue. 'He found Flannery
iyine on q cot" said Representative
King. He was very old. weary and
faint, even then.
'-The reporter, as he told me. asked
Flannery why he chose to place the
statue on such q high pedestal. Slow
ly and painfully the sculptor raised
himself upon his elbow and with diff
hculty said.
April II, 1854, / was occupying q seat
In Ford's Theater. Arriving early. I
witnessed the President and his
party come in and enter the upper

Bill to Congress Embody-
ing Revision.

Complete revision OF the insurance
code Of the District is proposed in

Mr.. Miller prepared = statement iof
the Commissioners showing that under
existing law the estimated collections
OF his department for the calendar
year 1928 would be 3242.l00. made up
as follows: Fees. s27.2sS. and taxes

Experts Are Consulted.
Mr. Miller has had the advice ana
cooperation of some Of the best m
formed insurance experts OF the
country in the preparation OF the new
code. Referring to the new le8tsia-
tion generally. Mr.. Miller says:
THE insurance code for the District
has not been changed since 1911.
. .en only a few minor changes were
made. but A. q matter Of fact. the law
then needed to be completely revised
and brought up to date. A number Of
attempts have been made to secure
such legislau ton as would give the
Distric. a model code, and one bill
was prepared by the American Bar
Association. which has been pending
in Congress for years and 10 now be-
fore the Senate District committee"
