HAYES PRESENTS
MODIFICATION BILL
Measure Is Designed to Raise
Legal Alcoholic Content
Limit of Beverages.

One more proposal was added yes
terday to the list already on file at
the Capitol to modify the national pro-
hibition act when Senator Halves.
newly elected Democrat OF Missouri.
introduced a bill designed to raise the
percentage of alcoholic content from
one-half of per cent to whatever limit
the courts may decide is non-intoxl-
eating. The bill would add the FOL
lowing provision to the prohibition
law:
Provided, That nothing contained
i'm this act shall prohibit the manu-
facture. sale or transportation OF non
intoxicating liquors within, the I'M
portation thereof into, or expectation
thereof from the United states and all
territory subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, for beverage purposes"
In a statement issued last night Sen
ator Halves said his bill is based on
the. language of the eighteenth
amendment and contended that II
would not violate either the letter or
spirit of the constitutional amendment.
Senator Halves admitted there will be
little opportunity for discussion of the
question at this session.
Senator Halves took the position
that that existing limitation of one-hal
of l per cent Is not "a scientifically
determined point of intoAlcat4on. L..
argued that what is and what Is not
intoxicating is matter Of fact, mat
ter of evidence and susceptible OF
proof.
Science has progressed to such Ger.
tainty in it's efficiency that proper
limitation can be reached. The i'm
mediate object of this bill, therefore.
is to raise the present prohibition in
the Volstead act from one-half of /
per cent to 2. 215 or 2% per cent
dependent upon a determination OF
fact by a jury and final review by the
Supreme Court"

GARRETT SEEKING
TO FORCE TAX CUT
Democratic Leader Moves to
Have Garner Bill Re-
ported to House.

By the Associated Press.
Reviving the fight for tax reduc-
ton by the present Congress, Repre-
sentative Garrett, the Democratic
leader yesterday initiated steps de-
signed to force the Republican ma
jority to act on the 1896, 900 Gar
ner tax bill. He introduced resolu-
ton calling for the discharge of the
measure from the House ways and
means committee on which its au-
thor, Representative Garner of Texas
is the ranking Democratic member
and it's consideration by the House.
If adopted the Garrett resolution
would defeat the recent action of Re
publican members of the ways and
means committee in voting to table
for this session all taX-reduction pro
posa1s, including the Presidents tax
credit plan.
Under House rules. the Garrett
resolution was referred to the rules
committee. It's author cannot de-
mand action on it until 80 days after
the pigeonholing by the ways and
means committee of the Garner blli,
which was done a week ago today.
Garrett asserted his action was in
line with announced intention of
House Democrats to resort to every
parliamentary means to bring about
tax reduction.
BY placing this resolution before
the rules committee. Garrett has two
levers with which he hopes to move
the Republicans. The other is the
right to circulate petition calling
for the discharge of the bill from
committee. The signatures of a ma
jority of the House-218 members
would be necessary as well as a ma
jority vote on resolution to dis
charge the committee.
The Garner bill. which the Demo-
Gratis are supporting, would reduce
the corporation tax from 1919 to II
per cent and would abolish many Of
the so-called nuisance taxes.
