Governor Richie is acknowledge
to be the foremost advocate of state s

By casting his hat into the guber-

It was pointed out, too, that Gov

Washington, Feb. -tP)--Tackling
the vital income tax schedule. the
senate faced new problems today in
considering the tax reduction bin
fights pending against repeal Of the
inheritance tax and Of the provision
allowing publication Of income tax
payments.
Republican and Democratic mem

yesterday successfully defended their

rate from 40 to 20 per cent with cor
responding cuts in the other rates Of
the graduated surtax scale, still faced
opposition within both ranks.

senate, however, adds $23,O0O,OO0 to

act to legalize the sale of light wines
and beer.

Empringham,. national secretary. for
merly national vice president of the
Anti.Ssloon lcague.
A poll of the 10000 members Of
the society. DR.. Empringham said.
showed an overwhelming prepondcr-
ancc in favor of modification of the
Volstead law.
Was Asked to withhold Report
He said that his announcement was
made public over the pleas Of several
prohibition leaders who had asked
that he suppress it. lest it do ire
parable damage to the cause Of pro-
kbition. Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel to the Anti-Saloon league Of
America. was among those who asked
him to hold it up. he said.
In q report made by DR.. Empring-
ham to closed meeting Of Episcopal
clergy Monday. he said that his So
ciety was now in favor Of modifying
the Volstead act:
"l--Because the effect Of prohibi-
tion has been to put an end to sci
entific temperance teaching;
"2-It has discouraged the con-
sumption Of wine and beer and in
creased the demand for distilled liq-
uors, which today are mostly poison
Gus;
"3-It has resulted in increased
drinking among young people;
At has brought about disrespect
for all laws;
SIT is class Legislation, discrim-
mating in favor of the rich;
"6-In our survey we found intem-
perance increased"
Failed to Prove Point
The survey referred to was one
made by Empringham more than a
year ago throughout the nation in an
effort to prove that prohibition was
= success. This survey, he told the
assembled clergymen. showed him
that on the contrary the prohibition
laws had made the situation worse.

be that the societies will get back on
their. old jobs and do thoroughly what
they were doing when prohibition
came along--carry on an educational
movement, which is the only hope
for the suppression Of the whole liq-
NOR traffic. But we honestly believe
that prohibition has been responsible
for a spread Of anarchy and general
1awlessness and that q modification
of the Volstead act would be in the
interest Of prohibition and temper
ance."
The change of policy of the church
tempe rance society, DIR. Empringham
said, followed . report he made some
time ago to the board of directors.
