Wickersham Supports Tar Tiff of Coal I'm mported

WASHINGTON, D. c. April 25.- Special Correspcndence) The Dslsgate was interested in having the House include and pass in its revenue bill an excise tax on foreign coal brought into the Uni ted States and Alaska. of 10 cents per one hundred pounds. The Sen ate Committee on Finance has had hearings on the bill for the past week and will soon report the bill to the Senate, and it is hoped to retain the tax on coal. Ii this clause becomes a law 1t is ex- pscted that the tax of $2 per ton on British Columbia coal shipped into Alaska will be an encourage ment for the greater development of Territorial coal mines and the supplying of local needs.
 On Thursday evening at the Unl- yersity Club a lecture on Alaska, with particular reference to the hunting of large game, was given by Assistant Attorney General Seth Richardson, in which connection.

WILL FACE
COURT FIGHT
ON BEER

If Congress legaIizes 4 per cent
beer next winter, the drys of the
nation will have a difficult time
testing its constitutionality under
the Eighteenth Amendment.
This opinion was held today
by Senator Thomas J. Walsh
Cd of Montana, an oLtstand-
Ing constitutional lawyer, WHO
declared the issue could be car
rled to the United States Su-
preme Court only in a case based
"on a contract" Such a case
he said, would require the assent
Of vets. If the liberals refused
TO enter such a test case Walsh
shrugged his shoulders
Criminal Cases Immune
The issue could never be raised
N a criminal case, he said, since
the manufacture, sale, and trans
portation Of per cert beer
would be legal-so far as Fed
eral courts are concerneu
Therefore, there neve.. could
be an appeal from a conviction
in such a case to give the Su-
preme Court an opportunity to
pass judgment on the conStitu
tionality of the law. Walsh eX-
planned:
"The only way the cOnSti-
tutiOnal issue can be raised is
on a contract. For example: A
brewery enters a contract to
sell per cent beer in a certain
amount to a certain individual
or concern. The buyer refuses
to pay for it on the ground the
sale Is illegal-illegal, because
the contract calls for the s. e
of an intoxicating beverage
which is prohibited by the
Federal Constitution.
UP TO BREWER TO SUE
"The brewer then would have
to defend his contract on the
ground that it is not uncOn.
StitutiOnal, on the grounds the
beverage is Notwithstanding in
fact. That would raise a ques-
tiOn of fact on the constitu.
tionality of 4 per cent beer.
IF the Supreme Court uIti.
mately found that as a question
OF fact 4 per cent beer is in
tOxlcating, then it would have
to declare the law uncOnstitu-
r0nal in violation of the
Eighteenth Amendment and
rescind the contract. That is
the only way l know for raising
the issue in the Supreme Court.
But such case would not
De raised unless the brewer, who
favOrS 4 per cent beer, would
bring the suit"

course of this conflict between the world

between his ideal world and his actual

is analytically dissipated, two striking
facts emerge. One is that Mr.. Hoover

that he also, contrariwise, has been one
of our greatest presidential accepters and

the core of Mr.. Hoovers Quaker soul are

from the most individualiStic element
in individualistic Protestanism. In his
blood there is the conviction that deci-
sions should be made not by ordained
officials, but by the common consent OF
the rank and file of the members of
the meeting house. Every true Quaker,
in the genuine tradition and tempera-
ment of the sect, must view external
collective authority with distrust Mr..
Hoover so views it. The very word "col-
lectivism" fills him even today with fu-
rious anguish.

and governmental development. He

is the purpose of this article to put those
latter innovations into full light.
The conservative is convinced
that there should be no more new bus

r or even as "reactionary." What
are the meanings of those labels
in common political parlance? 1t
is that the statesman to whom they are
applied is supposed to act upon the prin-
ciple that the functions of the Federal
Government should be confined to those
which were in existence in the admin
istrations of, let us say, George Wash
ington, or, let less extravagantly say,
Grover Cleveland.
That such a principle is at the base
of the policies of Mr.. Hoover is a theory
strengthened considerably by many of
Mr. Hoover's own attitudes and utter
ances His incessant genufectionS at
the shrine of "individualism," his con-
tinuous tossing of censers before the
relics of local self-government," and his
vigorous communications of the he
retical promoters of an "omnipotent
Federal bureaucracy" have had large
influence in persuading a great proper
ton of his fellow citizens to look upon
him as an unyielding foe of all Federal

Gas Storage of
Apples Is Discussed

"By gas storage is meant the hand
ling of fruits under such conditions
that they are surrounded by gases
other than those in ordinary air, or
with different percentages of gases
normally found in air, with the idea
of delaying ripening," explains DR.. D.
l.. Overholser, head of the State Col
lege horticulture department.
Fruits stored in gas tight containers
modify the composition of the sur
rounding atmosphere by lowering the
amount of oxygen and increasing the
quantity of carbon dioXide.
"In the successful handling of fruits
in gas storage, certain difficulties
must be overcome. First, there are
the changes in character as well as
rate of ripening. This change in
character Of ripening imparts abnor-
NAL flavors and results in disturbed
physiological conditions. Second is the
range of permissible variation in air
composition. An excess of carbon di-
oxide is more injurious at low cold
storage temperatures than at higher
temperatures.
"a third factor is maintaining the
desirable atmosphere composition and
temperatures. Even though the tenn
perature may be controlled the per-
centages of carbon dioxide and oxygen
are constantly changing as a result of
the fruit respiration and their regula-
ton within the desired limits is diff
ficult
"a fourth factor is that Of relative
humidity. While there is little evil
dence that humid temperature is
in itself injurious to the fruit, there
is reason to believe that the result
ing likelihood of there being a depo
sition of water from the atmosphere
on the surface of the fruit is harm
full. The harm that may come from
the deposition of droplets of water
may result in two ways: Better con-
ditions for the termination of fungus
spores and increased chances for in
vasion by rot fungi; blocking the open
ings in the skin of the fruit whereby
the gaseous exchange takes place be-
tween the interior of the fruit and
the external atmosphere.
"a final factor to be considered in
the gas storage of fruits is that of
fruit esters or similar products. These
substance may become harmful to the
fruit when conditions permit their
tissues or in the surrounding atmo-
reaching sufficient concentration in the
sphere such as might be expected in
sealed or semi-sealed containers nee
essary for gas storage"

Hanford Hoopsters Take
Benton City, Score 47-16

Hanford's boys basketball team hit
its stride last week by taking two
games, both with fairly large scores.

team was trampled on by a 66-11
score. Friday, the same thing hap
pened with a different victim-the
highly-rated Benton City quintet which
almost upset White Bluffs the week
before. The score stood 47-16 at the
end Of the game.
Our girls were not so successful as
the boys, but played a remarkably
good game, holding the visitors to an
1920 score. Except for being little
nervous they probably would have
won. After the games the visitors
were treated to a chilli feed.

Not Nearly All Germs
Are Unfriendly to Man

"The forms Of germs that we con-
tact in our everyday life are for the
most part and with few exceptions,
harmless. They do not cause disease
and in many instances their presence
and actions may be very beneficial to
mankind" declares g. G. Prouty, as
sociate dairy bacteriologist at the State
College.
MANY people have the impression
that most germs are bad germs and
that they cause discomfort and dis
ease. This idea exists in the minds of
people because diseased carrying germs
have been studied more extensively
than other kinds and have been CIV
en- more publicity. The fact remains,
however, that only a very small per-
centage Of the germs known to man
are capable Of causing sickness to man,
beast, or plant.
Certain germs are our best friends
instead of our dreaded enemies, For
example, each little clod Of fertile earth
is actually alive with It's germ popu-
lation. Here these germs are constantly
working for the benefit of mankind.
Germs of the soil are sometimes spoken
of as being the cooks in the plant
food kitchen, for they prepare nitro
gen, sulphur, potassium, and other food
elements for the use of the plant. If
for some reason these germs were re-
moved from the soil, plant life would
soon vanish
