Bv CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON, July 1.-the drys
are right. The election Of q president
who is out of sympathy with prohi-
hilton would be the blacklist kind of
black eye for V~olsteadism. II prob
ably wouldn't affect the Eighteenth
amendment for quite awhile, but it
would be pretty sure to knock the en-
forcement act galley west.
True, as the vets say, the president
can't repeal the law, and he's bound
70 try 10 enforce IL as he finds IL.
I'm prepared TO believe that n man
like AL Smith. with a reputation as a
wet, would lean owe backward IN
the effort to keep his record straight.
| don't believe he'd appoint n lot Of
wet prosecutors and marshals n
judges as the drys say he would. l
think the very fact that that's what
the dry would expect him to do,
would prevent him from doing it.
IL isn't that an anti-prohibition
president would make any difference
with enforcement per s~e"-except
possibly to tighten il up. It's the
lesson that politicians would read in
10 the circumstance that an anti
prohibitionist had been elected presi-
dent az all.
Congress-judging from the way il
votes-is about two to n dry.
What does that mean THAT about
two-thirds Of the senators and rep
resentatives are honest-to-goodness
prohibitionists? In that question,
don't let anybody fool himself.
Something like 5 per cent of our
national lawmakers r genuine
drys; about s per cent are genuine
vets. Senator Walsh Of Montana un-
doubtedly would sacrifice his seat in
the upper house before he'd cast q
wet vote. Id set Representative La
Guardia down as a conscientious wet.
The other 80 per cent don't give
the flip OF a copper either way.
All they're after In to be elected.
They'd favor the prohibition of ice
cream cones il their states oil dis
repeal Of the law against counter
feiting rather than be beaten for the
list congress.
It's this overwhelming eongression-
NJ majority winch - dpptoAinately
two to one dry.
It's dry because IL has n notion tina;
the country's predominately dry.
For the most part, II isn't very
positive Of this. That's why it's SC
insistent that prohibition isn't ar
issue" II don't want IL % be ar
issue. III ever II becomes an issue
why, these straddlers vii have q
tawe n side Of il, or the other. Al
present they're fraid they'll take the
wrong side.
But once let IL come up as an Is.

election promises-and let the result

JAPANESE PEST
RAvAGES U. S.
Beetle Spreads Over Nation,
Causing Millions Loss.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The ia
panese beetle now playing havoc
with trees, shrubs, farm crops,
lawns, and golf courses in an in
creasing number of eastern States,
probably will speed across the
country, representatives of the Fed
eral horticultural board said today.
The combined efforts of Federal
and State authorities to check the
pest are retarding the rapidity of its
spread, but recent developments in
dictate that there is scant hope that
the beetle can be prevented from
reaching all parts of the country.
No dollars and cents estimate of
the damage done by the japanese
beetle since its arrival in this coun-
try about ten years ago are avail
able, but those who have been fight
ing the pest say the losses in the
eastern States thus far effected
amount TO hundreds of millions of
dollars.
First discovered in a small area in
New Jersey, the beetle pest now has
spread as far north as Springfield,
Mass, and as far west and south as
the District of Columbia and north
ern Virginia.
Motorists are contributing to the
spread of the beetles by travelling
through infested areas, picking
them up on their cars, and trans
porting them long distances. Rail-
roads are doing the same thing.

DENVER TAKES
FARE FIGHT TO
HIGHEST COURT
TWenty-Year Contract for
Nickel Rate Source
of Dispute.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA few
years ago the people of Denver
thought they had a twenty-year
contract with the local street rail-
way company to provide service at
a scent fare.
Now, as the result of a compli-
Gated series of cases in the Federal
Courts, they find the street railway
company has perpetual franchise
and legal authority to charge an
Scent fare.
Through city attorneys, they have
just asked the United States Su-
preme Court to wade through this
labyrinth of legal proceedings and
see if the lower Federal courts have
not made many legal mistakes IA
vorable to the street railway COM
pany.
Nickel Fare Enjoined
According to the petition of the
Denver city attorneys just filed with
the high court, the traction COM
pany made an agreement with the
city in 1906 to provide service for
twenty years at scent fare.
In 1920 the company, faced with
losses on account of wartime in
crease IN prices, arranged a receiv-
ership that would place the man
agement of the company under the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts.
Then, according to the petition,
the company persuaded the United
States District Court to issue an in
junction restraining the city from
enforcing the scent fare contract,
and also secured Federal Court au-
thorization to charge an Scent fare.
The argument advanced was that
the scent fare feature of the fran
chise ceased to be valid when the
company could not make profits by
abiding by its terms.
In the course of the controversy
over this franchise, some old city
ordinances, passed in 1885 and 1888,
were borught forward which author
lied the street railway company to
provide service at a scent fare, and
set no particular time limit.
Claim Contract Binding
The Federal Courts, according to
the plea of the city authorities to
the United States Supreme Court,
held that while the f1ve-cent pro-
vision of the ordinances is no longer
valid, other provisions give the
street railway company perpetual
franchise to operate in the city.
In one of the Federal Court cases
the value of these old ordinances to
the street railway company was
fixed at 100000.
The attorneys for the city. in the
plea to the high court to review this
proceeding, contend that the scent
fare ordinance was a binding con-
tract and that the Federal Courts
Numbered in declaring that ancient
ordinances, superseded by an entire
ly new scheme of State and city
government, constituted a perpetual
franchise.
