the vets occasion for JOY Dy this
statement:
''There has been considerable dis
cussion on both sides of this chamber
as to whether prohibition enforcement
has failed so completely as to justify
such radical measures as amendment
of the Constitution or modification Of
the Volstead act A referendum on
the question has been proposed. Pass
ing over the cOnstitutiOnality OF the
proposal, am moved to say that the
course of events is tending to compel
those who favor prohibition to consent
to a referendum. There are some
states in, which there is widespread
wet sentiment which are taking steps
for state referendums In my opinion
there are five or six states which
might vote for modification on such a
referendum, but the rest Of the states
would vote dry"
Senator Glass Of Virginia, who is as
dry as they make them, thought 1t
not unlikely the VOlstead act might
be modified by congress. "SOme of us
drys," said he, might concede that
the act overshoots the eighteenth
amendment"
A DEMONSTRATION senators who
4 are candidates for denomination
and who are listed as drys got an
other jolt in the Oregon primaries, for
the Republicans of that state rejected
Senator Stanf1eld and gave the NOM
ination to Frederick Steiwer of Pen
dleton, lawyer and wheat grower
Stanfield formerly was considered a
liberal on the liquor question but has
become a militant dry. Steiwer,
though indorsed by the Anti-Saloon
league, also was backed by certain
organizations that have a leaning to-
ward wetness.

Triple Tragedy Revealed
When People, Missing For
Week, Are Found

Duluth, Nov. 10.-1P9-A triple
tragedy was revealed at Sax hate last
night and the mystery Of the disap-
pearance Of John Marshall and his
four-year-old son, Of Kelsey, was
solved when the bodies of Marshall,
the boy, and Gust Young, section
foreman at Sax, were found where
they had drowned in q state ditch a
Short way from the Sax depot. be-
meath Marshall's overturned car.
Marshall and the boy disappeared
q week ago today, and country
wide search followed. Marshall was
last seen when he called at the Kelsey
store, about mile and q half dis
tant from his farm, where he pur-
chased provisions.
A farmer plowing In field near
the Sax depot saw the wheels Of a car
protruding through the ice in the
state roadside ditch, and when the
machine was removed late last night
the bodies Of the three were found
beneath It. II Is thought they met
death by drowning rather than from
the plunge into the ditch from the
road.
Many autos had passed the place Of
death, some Of them bearing search
ers for the Marshalls, but depth Of
the ditch and vegetation along it's
banks kept the tragedy secret.
Marshall is survived by his widow
and q small daughter. Young, Sc, is

Both Senator Frazier of North Da-
kota and Senator Shipstead Of

licans reverse their action of two
years ago in reading Frazier out
Of the party councils. was made to
Senator Watson recently by Sen
ator Borah, Republican, idaho.
Senator Watson said. it was his
opinion since that action was TAX

public opinion on the subject.
Frazier, he said, had given the Re-
publicans "fairly wholehearted CO.
operation"

FEDERAL BODY
J. TO FIX PRICES
ADVOCATED
E.. T. Meredith Outlines plan
Toward Sterilization of
Agriculture

New York, Nov. 19-1P)-A federal
commission to fix and guarantee
prices to farmers on at least six ma
jor products is advocated by Edwin
I. Meredith, former secretary of ag-
riculturc, AS a means toward stabiliza-
tion Of agriculture.
Mr.. Meredith, who is u potential
candidate for the 1928 Democratic
presidential nom ination. outlined his
plan before the state chamber Of COM
mcrce last night.
The commission would consist Of
the secretary Of labor, the secretary
Of agriculture. the secretary Of com
merce, and four other members to be
named by the president. 1t would
first concern itself with the prices
of wheat, cotton, corn, sugar, butter
and wool. with the object of not only
securing minimum price, but bal
anced production as we'll.
This balance production, he said,
should meet all the demands of the
domestic market plus the foreign de-
mand and ut price which would give
the farmers an American standard Of
living. Other crops could be taken
over later.
WOUl0 B0y surplus only
The commission would not buy any
crop or portion Of . crop until one
year after harvest, and then would
bully only the surplus not absorbed
either In the domestic or export trade.
"After two or three years Of cx-
pcriencc," Mr.. Meredith said, "the
prices would be fixed in view of ex-
pcrience. and based on actual results
rather than any mans judgment or
estimates. Prices could not be un-
duly raised. or too much crop would
be produced. Prices could not be
fixed below cost Of production and
fair, profit or not enough crop would
be produced to feed our people. In
other words, prices would have to be
fixed in accordance with the law Of
supply and demand, tariff keeping
out imports until our domestic pro-
duction~ was ahaorbed.

TAX REDUCTION
TO BE SUBJECT
OF Big BATTLE
Opposition Develops in G. @.
P. Circles - Democrats
Have Another Plan

Washington, Nov. l9.-LP)--Indica-
tions that the principal battle Of the
approaching session Of congress will
rege about the tax reduction con.
tinue to multiply.
Not only has opposition to the ad-
ministration plan for returning the
treasury surplus to taxpayers
Through credit allowances on their
payments next year been disclosed in
Republican circles, but Democratic
leaders have made considerable pro-
gress in preparing for a drive look
ing to enactment of permanent tax re-
duction instead Of waiting, as Secre-
tary Mellon advises, for a more COM
plete demonstration Of the present
laws operation.
= A definite plan to reduce taxes by
ct least 1926 ,OO0, 900 has been worked
out by Senator Simmons, Democrat,
North Caroline. and Representative
Garner. Democrat. Texas, the rank
ing minority members, respectively,
Of the senate finance and house ways
and means committees. Their OBJ
jective, which might be increased to
$4O0, ,0OO, 900, would be attained
through reduction Of income tax on
corporations from 13ls 70 II per cent
or lower. repeal Of excise taxes, and
modification, possibly, Of the tobac-
co tax and surtaxes on individual in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000.
Lenroot's Plan
While the Den ocratic leaders were
making known their plan, Senator
Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, told
. group Of New York, creditmen that
he also disapproved Of the admins
tfation's proposal and suggested in
stead, that measure be enacted re-
ducfng taxes on next years incomes,
payable in 1928.
Rundsr the administration plan, he
said, the corporations and big busi-
nessmen would be the only large
beneficiaries and the people who vir-
tually paid the taxes would get little

PEACE A POSSIBILITY

Washington, Nov. 19-(P1-While
news Of revolutionary activity against
the Gales regime Is emerging from
Mexico with increasing volume, the
Washington government Is studying
silently the request Of President Diax
OF Nicaragua for aid in restoring
peace there in the face of Mexican
aid Of revolution and armed inter-
vention in Nicaraguan political af-
fairs"
The proposal of the new conserva-
tive president Of Nicaragua leaves
the United States broad latitude in
any means it might care to employ
in aiding his government, ranging
from further diplomatic efforts to
bring the cOntending factions to-
gether, to use Of naval forces in quell-
ing disorders and preventing the arm
ing of rebels from Mexican filibuster-
ing ships.
For the moment at least, it appears
most likely that further efforts to
restore peace in Nicaragua through
the exercise of American good offices
will be attempted. II successful, such
efforts could be expected to modify
If not eliminate the Mexican angle Of
the situation by destroying the mar
ket in Nicaragua for guns and am
munition from Mexico.
Grave Aspects Feared
Meanwhile, Secretary Kcllogg's es-
preston of concern over outside in

the obviously increasing tension in
Mexican-American relations is being
discussed with intense interest in

grave aspects.
Lacking official representations
from the American government, Mex.
lean officials have declined to COM
ment directly. Their attitude, how
ever, is that it is only. natural. for
Mexico to desire sphere Of influ-
ence in Central America, where, they
feel, its interests are identical to
those Of the United States; that the
American government has no right to
criticize Mexico for these desires and
that. while individual Mexicans may
have aided Nicaraguan rcvolutionists.
the Gales government has not inter-
fered in Nicaraguan affairs. Fur
thermore, they argue, individual
American citizens have been guilty OF
similar activity in behalf Of rcvolu-
tionists in Mexico and other Central
american countries.
Want Trespassers Removed
While the filibustcring activities
and attendant developments have
Overshadowed the other elements Of
the strained relations between Mex
