that only the rich can afford it and
the poor are, therefore, deprived of
it. There are two very obvious and
perfectly conclusive answers to this.
One is that without prohibition,
workers in responsible positions can
not hold their jobs if they drink.
Their employers, however, will be
perfectly free to drink as much as
they like. Prohibition, so far as it
is successful, applies the same rule
to employer and employee. Again,
if liquor were really beneficial, it
would be monstrous to prevent wage
workers from getting it while per-
mitting rich people to have it. But
suppose it is not beneficial but in
furious, who is really benefited?
Take the case of cocaine or heroin
for example. Let us assume that it
is really injurious, as it probably is.
The drugs and narcotic act tends to
make it expensive and difficult to
get, nevertheless, of course, those
who have money enough to pay for
it can get it. Is this benefit to them
or an injury? Its high price makes
IL ulluCulI lOT IuS pOOT W SSI IL. ID
this a benefit or an injury to the
poor? 1t is clearly a benefit. This
law, therefore, if it benefits anybody
benefits those who can not get it.
If it Injuries anybody it Injuries those
who have the power to get it. The
same is true of alcoholic drinks. The
fact that it is made so expensive that
the poor can not afford it is dis
tinctly to their advantage. If,
through lax enforcement, it is still
available to those who have the
money to pay bootleggers' prices,
they who can afford it are the ones
who are really injured or discrimi-
mated against.
Another economic aspect and per-
haps the most important of all is
the effect of drink on the congestion
of the lower and less skilled occu-
pations. Any overcrowded occupa-
ton is certain to be either poorly
paid or to have a great deal Of un-
employment among those who try to
carry it on, usually both. One way

occupations. If the rigid enforce
ment of prohibition will increase So
briefly, the wage workers should be
the most jealous advocates of it's
rigid enforcement.
ut must be evident that all the
economic evils which are alleged to
exist under prohibition are due to
its lax enforcement. They would
disappear if it were enforced. This
is poor argument, therefore, for
notification or deliberate violation
Of the law. Insofar as enforcement
is improved, so it is likely to be un-
der President Hoover, those evils
will disappear and it's benefts will
accumulate.
"Since President Hoover's election
and Inauguration, wet propaganda
has reached a high pitch of strid-
ency. The old slogan 1T can't be
enforced has been repeated with
higher and higher frequency. To an
unbiased observer it looks as though
the vets were awfully scared lest it
should be enforced. They realize
that if President Hoover should sue
ceed in enforcing it reasonably well,
or should gain a considerable ad-
vance in the direction of enforce
ment, their chief argument will be
destroyed. Their chief argument
has always been TT can't be en-
forced. If the country is given a
demonstration that it can be, that
particular argument is destroyed. 1t
begins to look as though that argu-
ment was already getting pretty
weak. The frantic efforts of the vets
to prevent enforcement is, they must
realize, their last stand. If they are
driven from this position, the corner
will have been turned and from
then on the economic benefits of real
prohibition, really enforced, will be-
gin to accumulate"

Some Economic
Aspects
Of Prohibition
By Thomas Nixon Carver of Harvard
University.
PART III

Westerville, o., Oct. 17-In the
final installment of his article on
Some Economic Aspects of Prohibi-
tion," DR.. Thomas Nixon Carver, of
Harvard University, thus writes:
mot only do the wage workers
spend larger share of their money
for necessaries, amusements and
means, of cultivation, they are act
ually enabled to earn more because
of the general increase in sobriety.
The general disorganization of in
dustry, slowing down of processes,
especially on Mondays, resulted in
distinct reduction of the produc-
tivity of labor. Where the produc-
tivity of labor is low, wages can not
possibly be high. This is we'll ex-
pressed in the attitude of a certain
railroad president who was quite
insistent upon his own personal lib
erty, especially his liberty to drink.
He was asked: If you succeed in
getting the prohibitory laws repeal
ed, will you then rescind your rules
against drinking by trainmen, loco
motive engineers, switch tenders,
train dispatchers, etc.?' He replied
instantly: of course not 1t seems
as though this particular man pre-
fers to do his own prohibiting rather
than to have the government do it
for him. He is thoroughly convinced
that prohibiting drinking to trainmen
is a good thing. He is not willing
to pay the price of a mild depriva-
tion on his own part.
"This brings up point which is
sometimes stressed by the vets for
propaganda purposes. They are try
ing to make the point that under
prohibition liquor is so expensive

The extravaganza Of the Amer

Poverty, misery, drunkenness, and
disease come primarily from our

is the best filled IN the world.
What can be done to make women

shouts the gentleman from Utah.
Denying none of these charges,

much waste goes on in the American
congress as in the American kitchen.

 Irene Rich as Fritzi Foy, musical comedy queen, who subsequently marries the man who had closed her show because of it's nudity, gives characterization that proves she is just as much at home in a comedy role as in a more serious part.
 Powder My Back" was directed by Roy Del Ruth. The scenario was written by Robert Lord from a Joseph Jackson adaptation of a Jerome Kingston story.
