friends against those which would injure
prohibition. and secured the defeat of
every such measure.
II. In doing this work we have main
tained working force throughout the
year averaging 18 men and 20 women and
have raised all the money used for all the
above purposes amounting TO total of
$4,000.
Of this amount 1914 was expended by
the Political Action Committee to help in
electing dry congressman. About an
equal amount was spent in the state in
helping to elect dry members of the Leg
islature. About $4,000 more was spent
for Office help and maintenance of the
work. The balance, over $50, 900, was spent
directly or indirectly for educational work
and the building of public sentiment in
support of prohibition.
Next year we would like to increase our
budget $4,000 and devote all of it to edu-
cational activities as follows:
[. We would like to issue our paper BIZ
weekly. Added cost $4,000 if in present
form.
g. We would like to add three men to
our force and keep them occupied all the
time to work among the colleges. Added
cost $4,000
g. We would like to issue carefully pre-
pared special literature on particular
phases of the prohibition problem that
would appeal to various classes. such as
working people, our young folks foreign
citizens and others. Added cost $4,000

IMPORTANT DRY MEASURE PASSED BY LEGISLATURE


WIule Cle vets were nlllng the air With
their racket about repeating the Illinois
Prohibition Act, the Anti-Saloon League
fought them back with one hand and sue

dry legislation with the other
We went into the House of Representa-
tives and fought them every step of the
way in their effort to pass the bill repeal
ing the Illinois Prohibition act and the
Search and Seizure law We would have
defeated them there had it not been for
the weakness of one or two of our sup
posedly dry friends who, under the pres
sure brought to bear upon them in the
Legislature, yielded and went over to the
enemy. at that the bill was only passed
by one vote, and as our friends we'll know,
was soundly defeated in the Senate.
While this was going on we hunted up
and killed all the minor bills the vets
were trying to pass, some of which were so
drawn that they were fooling the drys
themselves; and many of our own friends
We're ready to vote for them until the real
nature and effect of these bills was pointed
out to them by the Anti-Saloon League.
In these conflicts the attention OF the
vets was kept busy. They brought one of
the high officials of the Association Op-
posed to the Prohibition Amendment all
the way from New York to labor with"
members Of the Legislature in behalf of
these wet measures But The dryS met
them at every turn. We scrutinized every
bill introduced into the Legislature and
exposed the "jokers," with the result that
the vets did not gain an inch at any point.
Fairly in the session we had a measure
i111ra~IjJOnd
for driving automobiles while intoxicated.
This bill was quietly passed by the Senate,
carried over to the House in due time and
passed by that body during the closing
days of the session. Tt marks distinct
advance in inflicting adequate punish
nents upon Violators of the prohibition
law and will add much protection to auto
nobiIsts who use the highways of our
state, it was mentioned in the NEWSPAPER
summaries of the important legislation
passed by the Fifty-siXth General AS
Sembly.
The previous law provided that any per-
son driving a motor vehicle on the public
highway while intoxicated should be
liable to a fine Of not more than 5000 or
imprisonment not to exceed sixty days, or
both. Tt is to be observed that under this
law there was no minimum requirement
anu Tile Judge cOlllu let q V1OlatOr OF the

that makes it mandatory upon the Judge
to inf1ict a real penalty of not less than
500 nor more than $1,000 as a fine, or of
not less than ten days nor more than six
months imprisonment This law went
into operation the first of July. It puts
some real teeth in the statute against
drunken auto driving and will undoubt-
edly be a good protection to the people as
soon as its provisions are known and en-
forced.

PREPARATIONS BANK
Meets With FAVOR
Worlds Financial Experts May
Set Up Trustee Bank

Paris, March 9 P'-Ela boration of
was before the experts on repara-
tons over the week end. The project
Of trustee bank was being regard
ed with more favor. it is said, the
more it was advanced. Few il any
objections have been raised and
they are of a minor character.
Fear expressed in some quarters
Of possible predominance Of such
financial super power is not even re-
garded seriously in competent Cir
cles.
Among the many questions of de-
tail yet to be worked out and to be
discussed Monday is who is to sup
ply the capital which may run as
high as 100000 marks (about
$3.50, 900, o00).
To this capital would be added
the 2oO,oooooO marks now in the
Preparations. The theory is that a
bank with resources equivalent to
s1S0.000.000 would be able to dis
count Germanys export bills and
make a substantial profit for the
German state, but If creditor and
neutral countries are to supply the
ca pital they naturally will expect to
share the benefits in its use.
Among the suggestions for the
bank are that it deal only with other
banks so as not to jeopardize bust
ness OF already founded institutions,
that it act as a sort of international
clearing house, even making stabili-
ation loans.
There are a number Of reasons
why it might be necessary to have
such bank located outside of Ger

said. would be glad to have the in
