DEMOCRATIC WHIP CONFIDENT 0F VICTORY
 BEER REVENUE BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. l. Congressional leaders have been in formed that President Hoover in tends to veto the repeal and farm bills when they are presented.
 If so, an early special session of Congress, not later than April, will be called, something Democratic leaders hoped could be avoided.
 The only alternative at the lame duck session in order to obtain ad- ditional revenue, will be the enact ment of a sales tax instead of a beer tax.
 President Hoover is reported as saying that all the beer projects he has heard of so far constitute null lifcation
 Representative Milligan, Demo cratic whip, claims victory for the repeal bill, having 275 of the 287 or tWo-thirds majority required, now signed on the dotted line.
 One hundred and 50 of these are from Democrats and 125 from Re- publicans; 429 members will be seated in the House.
 Indications for additional sup port fo" the Democratic repeal measures is seen in the support of arriving congressman from all parts of the nation.
 President Hoover is reported to have said, in connection with his views of the beer bill that the elec- tion is not mandate for nullifica- tion of the constitution.
 The passage of beer for revenue bill at the short session of Congress is essential to the Democratic ad- ministrations plan to balance the budget.
 Vice President-Elect Garner said so favorable is sentiment for pas sage Of the beer for revenue bill that, as was announced last week, he will introduce it at Mondays session.
 He added that he has found a great change in sentiment since a year ego and that even Republi- cans of the South will vote for the bill but with respect to their own states. may continue to keep their states dry
 The reported change in attitude by the President on the beer bill is perpleXing for it is said that fol- lowing his return from the West he was understood to have said he would sign such a bill if presented to him for ratification.

RETURNING TO BOOST

California fishermen are com blaming that the Mexican govern ment is imposing an excessive tax for fishing in Mexican waters; that old fishing grounds, recognized for centuries as neutral, being conSid- cred high seas, are being policed and American fishermen are being driven out.
 Which is as it should be. The American people voted a prohibi- tiOn law at the beheSt of group of charaltans masquerading under the cloak of religion. Not being able to ram the nauseous morsel down the public throat, Washington was bludgeoned into securing recogni- tiOn of 12 miles instead of three miles as the limit to which any foreign nation could approach the shores of America without running afoul of national laws.
 The action served to oust many American fishermen from Cana dian waters and Canadians from American waters. The MexicanS were only slow in getting into the mess Which is characteristic of the Dons until they wish to get rid of bunch of grating politicians. In this it is debatable if their sys- tenn is not more potent than some of the expedients employed in the United States.

DOES MINING PAY?

Says the New York Herald Trib- une: One of the things that the investment banker has had to ad- init is that the gold and silver mine dividends of the United States dur ing the past two years are greater than the combined dividends of all banking institutions in this coun- try, and on the head of that the government figures show that the average returns on capital invested by banking interests to be about six and one-quarter per cent, while the returns on mining was 182 per cent"
 Now and then we read of an en- frightened and progressive mind that saw through the fallacy of prison methods of administration. William H. Seward was one of these. While the punishment of offenders he wrote in his mes sage to the Legislature in 184O, should at all times be en- forced with firnneSs the spirit of the age m2nifeStIy requires that discipline shall be tempered with kindness and that moral influences rather than severe corporal pun- ishment should be employed to procure the submission and pro- mote reformation"

Fanny Hursts Symphony Of
Six Million" while it does not
live up to its advance billing as
the equal of "Cimarron," is

and an apt appreciation on the
part of the director, Gregory La

1t is a straightforward enough
story of a boy of New York'S

he can give to the poor families

town and make money.
Fame and fortune are soon his,
but he loses the human touch
that made his early associations
so pleasant His fathers serious
illness precipitates a crisis in his
career. He is unwilling to oper-

fails, the father dies, and he
loses confidence in his ability.
His redemption is brought
about through the brave gamble
of a girl, his lifelong friend. long
crippled. She insists that he op-
