This is not the 5iwe to talk

When the people approved the
18th amendment to the constitution
they invaded the police powers of the
various states.
"The people themselves decided
the federal government should have
the police power hitherto reserved
by states, but made the federal iur-
iSdisction concurrent.
"Thev forced us to use this po-

states to carry on their concurrent

FARM RELIEF IS
DEAD AS SESSION
NEARS ITS CLOSE
$3.50 100000 Sterilization
Bill Is Finally Defeat
ed Today.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-With
farm relief legislation virtually
u,vo, ao lar as the house is con-
ce'ncd, western farm bloc and Dem
ocratic leaders predicted today that
the Republican party would be
repudiated at the polls in Novcm-
Der for defeating the $4,000, 900
Haugen price stablization bill.
House leaders said that no further
effort would be made by the lower
body to enact any relief measure at
this session.
Farm bloc members who supported
the Haugen bill are pinning their
hopes for action in the senate. They
expressed confidence that the senate
would accept the Norris amendment
to the administration marketing bill
which is now pending in the senate.
The Norris amendment is almost
identical with the Haugen bill and
an effort will be made to bring it up
in the senate Monday.
The defeat of the Haugen bill, -
Representative Dickinson, Iowa, Re
publican farm bloc leader, said
'Wlil nave far reaching erect
from which the Republican party
will suffer.
The Republicans have repudiat-
ed their platform and promises to the
farmers by denying them the relief
they want.
=" The administration had better
do something for the farmers. There
ism one farm organization that
wants the Tincher bill or the Curtis
Aswell bill. The sooner the admin
istration realizes this the better off
it will be-.
should the administration make
an effort to pass either the Tinchor
or the Curtis-Aswell bill, Dickinson
said, the Haugen forces would not
support either measure.

Frederick Steiwer, Pendleton at

ton now to be settled is the size

ator Robert N. Stanfield, it was

has total vote Of 1O,137 to 9798

Watkins is leading TIaney in

Eaney and the trend of the re-
