LEGISLATORS GOOD RECORD

The 147th session of the New Jer-
sew Legislature adjourned about $40
o'clock last Saturday morning after
about seven hours wrangle IN which
the Republican majority split into
factions so that they refused to pass
several bills and made a record by not
doing so. Among the bills not passed
was to repeal the Hobart prohibition
act and to give a referendum to the
people for an expression on whether
they approved of allowing the manu-
facture of light wines and beer. Such,
of course. would be a farce to hold
out hope and buneo the wet vote,
The kicking out of the State High
way Commission and appointing an
other by Governor Silzer with no poll
teal connection is the outstanding act
of the session. In this act, Gov. Sill
ger becomes the outstanding political
person in the State.
Between the wet and dry vote in the
Republican party and the endeavor OF
Mrs. Lillian Feickert, the woman poll
teal boss. to have certain bills put
thru the bill to stop night work for
women. the majority went home
cracked into factions.
The legislators made a good record
by not doing what many expected 1t
would, by repeating good laws now on
the statute books.
The bill to make the primary cleo
ton i'm the spring was a bill good to
defeat.

LAW MAKERS FOR PROHIBITION

The refusal of the New Jersey Leg
islature to petition Congress for a
modification of the Nolstead act or
even to submit a referendum on the
question to the voters may not effect
the final disposition of this vital ma
tional issue, but it certainly is not
calculated to carry comfort to the
Wet element of the population.
C~oincident with the strength of the
"Drys" in New Jersey, there are in
dications bearing in the same general
direction in other States.
Conspicuous proof of the strength
of prohibition is afforded by Governor
Pinchot's ability to put through the
PENNSYLVANIA Senate a more stringent
enforcement measure, despite the Wig
orous efforts to check his campaign
for strict observance of a long-tiouted
law.
Again in New York State, the Glib
raItar of liberal sentiment, an attempt
to repeal the Mullen Gage enforce
ment act has ANONYMOUSLY failed, and
although the State Assembly adopted
a memorial to Congress favorable to
modification, Charles F. Murphy, the
Tamanv leader, confesses his belief
that "the saloon has gone forever
Even Governor Smith, personally
against prohibition, has not thought
it wise to make a stand officially
against the existing law.
As the New York Evening Post re-
marks in the face of the conditions
noted the contention that there IS ar
overwhelming public sentiment against
prohibition in these States begins tc

EDGES PRESTIGE DECLINING

Senator Walter E. Edge %endeavored
to have his followers in the Legisla-
ture pass a ripper bill and have one
man appointed to be head Of Road
Commission. He also wants the PR
mary election changed from Septem-
Der to May and a referendum election
for beer and wine. He hoped the ref
erendum for beer and wine would be
carried and give him prestige for be-
ing a wet candidate for reelection.
Senator Edge has made enough
money since being in politics to retire
on his Independent fortune as a poll
teal Sage. He will be retired at the
next election.

records show that 900.O00,0 900 pounds
were in warehouses In various parts
OF the country, of which 125,00O, 900
were in Toxic and Yokohama.
The balance was held by farmers,
and constituted the food supply of
the nation until harvesting of the
new crop on October /. Japan raised
all the rice she needed, except about
per cent, which she imported from
French Indo-China, Siam. Burmah.
and to considerable extent from
California, which shipped $4,000, 900
pounds in July. Formosa and Korea
supplied heavy quantities. 1t is not
generally realized that the Japanese
consume equally as much wheat as
rice. They use wheat for macaroni
instead Of bread. The consumption
of rice and wheat averages for each
cereal about 366 pounds per person
per annum. or about a pound a day.
Some 2S.50O.000 bushels Of wheat are
produced annually in Japan. The rest
comes mainly from Manchuria.

No Compromise Accep-

Representatives

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-Perhaps
on no other topic will legislators
be more searchingly questioned on
their stay at home during the pres
ent mid session recess than on that
of reapportionment.
With some of the warmest fights
of the session i'll prospect when re-
apportionment comes up in commit
tees and on the floor of both houses
after the recess, tssemblymen and
senators are sure TO be loaded
with instructions from h s
constituents on how to stand and
now to vote on the rcapportionment
question.
Even in advance of the recess
which begins today and will last, un.
Ill March ), the legislators received
the first intimation of the interest
stirred up over the entire state on
the reapportionment proposition in
the form of stream of letters and
kilograms containing directions for
pre-recess propaganda.
Everything or Nothing
The Los Angeles representatives
have laid their cards on the table
and announced that they must have
everything the constitution entities
them to, or nothing at all.
There is no more of the compro-
mise talk that was heard when the
legislature opened. Asscmolyman
Edwin Baker has announced that
he is amending his original reap
rortionmcnt bill, or at least will
urge its amendment in committee,
so as to give Los Angeles County
seven new asscmblymen-22 in all
and two additional senators
making 10 in the upper house.
Bakers original bill was not so
drastic and did not take any repre-
scntation from San Francisco.

In the upper house Senator Harry
Chamberlain is fostering q bill sim

duccd in the assembly, giving Los

atives do not appear perturbcd over
the possible threats. They point out
they defeated Los Angeles on reap
portionmcnt in 1921, and believe
they can do it again. The Los An

stitution, rcapportionment is just
