Principles Of Law Are Wrong, De-
 clares Zionist Leader

SPRINGFIELD. H.. Jan. z.-Pro- hibition was scored as "bolshevism In beverages" by Israel Zangwill, noted Zionist leader and English author, in the course of an address before a local luncheon club last night.
 At every gathering at which I was present in New York" he said. "I was offered prohibited beverages. and as an Englishman l felt perfectly free to accept them.
 My wife and I are ardent tenn perance workers, attempting to se- cure the gradual reduction of the consumption of liquors through edu- cational and constitutional means. Prohibition call bolshevism in bev- erages. You have introduced the principle of taking away peoples property arbitrarily. which Is dan- gerous thing to do in a democracy"
 MT. Zangwill opened his talk with g. eulogy of Lincoln.
 "A Lincoln is needed in Europe. where chaos reigns." he said. we have prime ministers. We need one with the magnanimity of Lincoln.
 "The America made possible by Lincoln Is the last hope of the world. It is the last experiment which is being made on the human race. You have freed yourself from kings and priest-craft: you are tho hope of democracy"

CAROLINA RAIL COMMISSION INTERSTATE RIGHTS UPHELD

state because of the effect the orig inal decision was said to have upon the authority of the state to regu- late the operation of the interstate railroads. It was pointed out by Chairman Frank W. Shealy of the railroad commission, that should the decision stand it, would deprive the commission of practically all control over carriers, with regard to com polling the erection of needed facili- ties, and in the matter of abolish ing grade crossings, among other things.
 Outside the state, the case was watched with interest because of similar proceedings in other states, and because of it's relation to an at tempt by the state of California to have the United States supreme court decree that the transportation act of 1920 did not deprive state regulatory bodies of their control over inter- state railroads, in matters coming under the police powers of the sepa- rate states.
 The prevailing opinion of the court en banc held that the transportation act did not deprive the states of their police powers, and that the Black vile shed case was plainly matter coming within the police power.

Internal Row Brewing, With One Faction CIamoring For Adoption, While Other Sees Large Incomes Favored POSSIBLE CONTROVERSY MAY REACH CONVENTION Many, Like Underwood, Be- lieve It Would Be Political BIunder For Minority Party To Fight Program
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Leased Wire to The AEe-Herald.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-An intern al row over the Mellon tax plan IS brewing in the democratic party with one faction clamoring for &C., ceptance of the program virtually as it stands, while another group Is protesting that the administration IS unduly generous to large incomes.
 It is another manifestation of the schisms which have developed be- tween progressives and conservatives in both of the old political parties. There is a possibility that the con- troversy over tax reduction may be carried into the democratic national convention in order to determine whether the party will wage it's cam paign against the republicans on a conservative or a liberal platform.
 The question is whether the demo- cratic party shall attack the Mellon plan as a scheme to lift a dispropor- tionate share of the tax burden from the rich. Any number of conserva- tive democrats like Senator Under wood believe that the minority party would be making a political blunder, comparable with the free silver agi- tation of a quarter of a century ago, in fighting the Mellon plan and in- sisting upon taxation of stock div.- dendsy excess profits. and a maxi mum surtax of 40 per cent or more in place of the 25 per cent tax recom- mended by Mellon. These democrats argue that the party must retain the confidence of the business interests of the country and that this cannot be done if the Mellon plan is op- posed In its essential features.
 Claims Of The, Opposition. q. On tho other side are men like Representetive Garner of Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, who has assatled the Mellon plan and charged that predatory interests are in conspir- cepting 1t. This statement, issued through the democratic national committee, has stirred the democratic friends of the Mellon plan and they are now complaining that Repre- sentative Cordell Hull, a member of the ways and means committee. and chairman of the democratic national committee, is using the national com mittee to disseminate propaganda at tacking the bill.
 Regardless of internal differences, the democrats will try. in the coming weeks, to differentiate between gen. eral tax reduction, which they favor, and the Mellon plan, which Is a dis pUted matter. They will make 1t clear that they want taxes reduced. but in a somewhat different way from what the administration pro- poses.
 Administration republicans warn the democrats against inserting an excess profits or a stock dividend tax in the bill, declaring that President Coolidge would veto such measure and that the democrats would then be compelled to assume responsibility in the election campaign. for hay ing defeated tax reduction.
