EYES OF NATION
ON CALIFORNIA
Victory CLASH
Outcome Will Have Bearing
on Fight for Plank in
G. O. P. Platform.

Nv grripns-Horgrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. April 29.-The
presidential primaries in California
Tuesday will be watched eagerly,
not only from Albany and New
York. but from the White House.
While President HOovers delega-
ton will be unopposed. the Demo-
cratic PRIMARIES have become a bat
tlecround for the vet and dry forces
OF the state. Hence the outcome
Will have bearing upon the deci-
sion Of hesitant Hoover drys TO per-
nit a referendum plank TO be writ
ten into the Chicago platform IN
June.
The recent revolt OF the states
grape growers against prohibition IS
regarded. as significant in this con-
nection.
Interest in this phase is shown BY
the fact that the states Democratic
registration nearly has doubled
from 465, 1913 in 1928 to s47,4S2 this
year.
Although there arc three Demo-
cratic tickets in the field, the real
fight is between the Roosevelt fac
ton. led by the wet national COM
mittceman. Isador DockWeiler OF
Los Angeles. and the wet bellwether,
Justus Wardell OF San Francisco,
and the Garner ticket. led by dry
William Gibbs McAdoo and publ
cizcd by the wet Hearst papers.
An Al Smith ticket has been
showing little vitality. but it may
gather enough wet votes to permit
the McAdoo- Garner faction to win.
Should the Roosevelt ticket win,
Wardell is expected to announce
for senator against Senator Samuel
Shortridge. II the Garner ticket
wins. McAdoo doubtless will be a
candidate.
Sensing the strong wet shift,
Shortridge has announced he ia
vors a referendum and has in
clined his fear toward labor's 2.75
per cent beer program. g His mys-
ferrous mentor here. Raymond Ben
jamin. is understood to be among
the many urging Hoover to agree
to a damp plank in the platform.
Out of California's eleven house
members. seven voted for the Beck
Linthicum resolution. Senator Hi
ram johnson, it is believed. will
vote for a referendum when it
comes up next month.

Although his reelection was doubt fuI for time he remained in office and carried on through the hectic days of the World War. later succumbing to the U. s. Senate on the League of Nations issue. There is no precedent for such an action as Wood row Wilson contemplated and we don't suppose that President Hoover would con- slider such action proper or at all necessary. although he now admits that state ot chaos and distress exists in the nation. That's why he wants himself reelected. it seems.
 The resignation of Mir Hoover would have to be accompanied by that of Vice. President Curtis. Prior to rendering this he would have to name the president-elect Secretary of State in his Cabinet. Then by rule of succession Governor Roosevelt as Secretary of State would become acting president until next March when he would be duly inaugurated as the President of the United States. The question would be is such action absolutely necessary. If we are to believe our republican speakers. it is. Of course, the democrats are not trying to preach such hurrying need for Governor Roosevelt to sit in the White House. They are quite content to wait until next March for this event when we know. by grace of the American voter, it will actually occur.

Tax Resolution

Mark Levy. former president of the Chi cago Real Estate Board. known not as wild-eyed radical but an appraisal and leas- ing expert, makes some revolutionary proph- eeies about taxation. In the future, he suggests say half century from now the main burden of taxes will be shifted from real estate. and the base of taxation will be spread so that everyone will partici- pate in the cost of government" Property taxes will be based. he says. not on values but on earnings. Home-owners will be ex- empt as such. because they have no capital earnings, but will contribute to the tax funds through carefully imposed and grad uated sales taxes. LuxurieS will pay more than necessaries.
 The vast and costly Implications in tax collecting machinery will be simplfied and centralized so that the federal government will collect all the taxes and apportion them among federal, state and local agencies It is hard to tell about that. Power seems to be flowing to the federal government now; it may yet turn and flow back to the sources But one thing is sure. With the intense and widespread interest now develop ing in tax problems. there are going to be some drastic changes in our taxation system.

Good old Seeker" CoeI He's a fine story-tellsr and fairly good sports sn- nouneer over the radio. but as a political stumper he doesn't make such hit. Last week Mir Coe appeared at republican rally in Bridgeport and spoke as follows: VT don't know anything about politiea but I've looked the propositions of both parties over. I've studied them. I've decided that the future well-being of America can best be served by the republican party and its poli- eies than it can by the glittering generaIities and hopeful promises of the democratic party. :" Fie. fife, Mr Coe. You gave yourself away in that statement. When any man starts to talk about 'glittering genef- alities" promises" future well-being. . etc. he brands himself immediately as a dyed-in-the-w politician. You may not know anything about it.

{. New Ashford. Mass. is somewhat wor- ried about its reputation. Many people may recall that this tiny Berkshire hamlet is always the first to report in presidential election. Four years ago it turned in an early vote of hundred odd for Hoover and only a few votes for Smith. This year every effort is being made to have every voter in the town cast ballot as soon as the polls are opened in the morning. A hitch has appeared, since one resident is an inmate at North Adams hospital. The absentee voting law demands two towns be- tween the voting place and present abode of the absent voter. The claim is there is only one town between New Ashford and North Adams We vote that this be overlooked.

JUST ONE OR TWO DRINKS

Every little while we hear of some culprit pleading that he or she was not intoxicated but merely had taken one or two drinks. Just where our comical American jurisprudence draws the line between sobriety and intoxication is a mystery. Scientifically it has been proved that "just one or two little drinks" of alcoholic bev- craze or liquor will slow anybody's reaction time down two or three ffths of a second, and if the intent of the law is to give justice to all the drinker should be held strictly responsible for the accidents which may occur due to this failure his or her part to take reasonable precautions for safety.
 The effect of the alcohol in one or two little drinks is quite definite. The pulse rate or heart beat increases several beats to the minute, but this is not ''stimulation," as was formerly SUD- posed. The arterial pressure is invariably low cred and the fast pulse is weaker pulse. The individual has sensation of greater warmth of flushing of the skn But this is not stimu lation either; it is merely the effect of relaxa- ton dilation of the arterioles of the surface. which permits the warm blood from the vital organs and the internal circulation to rush to the surface and to remain there too long. The internal body temperature is invariably low cred. It is for this reason that Arctic explorers and others who must endure extreme cold avoid alcohol in any form. If drink or two warns you up 1t does at the expense of your vital body heat which is dissipated by the surface stagnation.
 Boozers who boast they can take it or let it alone commonly argue that good drink gives a person a sense of well being and greater strength. But put the person in a race or in any sort of contestor test of strength or endur- ance and this sense of well being and refresh- ment proves to be merely the dulling effect of the narcotic on the higher cerebral perception of fatigue. Everybody knows that a drunken person is weak and incompetent in every re- spect though he generally feels and believes he is stronger and more capable. The same thing applies. though more subtly, to the state of the man or woman who has taken just one little drink.
 The courage confidence. geniality and To- quacty that come to the timid. cold or retiring hn rnan n a when there is any occasion to be met, are like- wise due to benumbng of the higher brain centers so that the intoxicated one Is for the time being not well aware of his own limt- tations. He or she becomes less concerned about making show of oneself. The normal f-control gives way, judgment is not so keen. and lighter restraint is kept on lower in- stincts or impulses.
 It is necessary to take into consideration this deceptive effect of alcohol whenever one quar- res over the wet and dry issue If the indi- vidual who favors light wine and beer has had a drink or two within an hour Or two, 1t is just well to change to the prospect Of getting over the depression.

 Poor Old Sol

Representative Sol Bloom has received some hard knocks ever since he took over the job of running the George Washington Bicehtennial celebration. but when his re- publican opponent in the 18th congress sional of New York attacked him for de- voting his time to this work and not to his congressional duties he rather overstepped the bounds. We sincerely hope that Repre- sentative Bloom will be returned victorious byta huge majority tomorrow. For we honestly think that his work in behalf of the Washington Bieentennial has been praiseworthy and at the same time thankless.
 His opponent claims that instead of try ing to giorify George Washington this year Mir Bloom has tried to advertise Sol Bloom. We think that is far from the truth. Sol Bloom is essentially show-man. He was one before he went into politics. He prob ably will remain one long after he IS out of the game. If some personal element entered into the part he played in making this nation Washington conscious during this year blame it on his past training and not upon any desire to occupy the stage.
 As to the claims that the bieentennial year has been flop we dispute them. How many countries have joined us in honoring Washington How much money has Uncle Sam realized by the sale of bicentennial stamps? How many million trees have been planted to honor our first president? How many historical pageants and tableaux have . there been' How many pictures of Wash ington now adorn American homes? We could enumerate many more items of Wash ingtoniana, but the list is endless.
 We should never thing or eountenanee the use of Sol Blooms connection with the Washington Bieentennial as political weapon. He deserves more respect than that for the tedious and thankless job that Congress dominated by republicans. wished upon him.

"Abraham Lincoln" Hoover

Nothing was needed to put finishing touch on this extraordinary campaign but the remark of Herbert Hoover last week in which he lkened himself unto Abraham Lincoln. It must have come as shock to the millions of Lincoln admirers to find the president assuming the role of another Lin- toln in this hectic era through which we are passing. And to make matters worse the statement was made in the shadow of the tomb of Lincoln at Springfield, Illinois. Even Lincoln must have turned over in his grave at the utterance.
 The Springfield Republican found the speech audacious to say the least. It says, ~It requires bounuful good humor to con- slider President Hoover's campaign speech at the tomb of Lincoln without the retort dis courteous. Many of us. who do not now favor Mir Hoover's reelection, are by inheri- tance steeped in the tradition of an ind- visible and imperishable Union. To be told by Mir Hoover, in effect, that he is another Lincoln in the sense that the sal vation of the country now depends upon his reelection quite as much as its salvation depended upon Lincoln's reelection in 1864 is staggering because of its audactity. -"
 Yet hasn't the entire Hoover adminis- tration been audaeious. Picture president. surrounded by supposedly competent Cabi- net officials. claiming that there was no business depression. He was ably seconded tn this utterance until the actual conditions walked right into the White House and hit these well-informed gentlemen square in the teeth. Now that we have arrived at the conclusion that conditions are bad in the United States we blame them first on unrest in Europe. despite the fact that England hasn't had bank failure in ten years and France and Italy can boast almost similar records. It seems bank failure in Austria started all our trouble. Having troubles there must be remedies. SO any that have been applied belatedly are now claimed as Issuing from the presidents medicine eab- met. We're afraid the Lincoln plea will fall on cold ears. And it certainly should meet with rough treatment Hoover is Hoover. president of the United States. He is no Lincoln.
