A PROHIBITION REFERENDUM
(New York Tlmes)


Chairman Raskob's letter to the
democratic national committee,
published today, shows a way
around the two barriers to prohibit
ton repeal which would require
years to level. These are: the UNI
willingness of two thirds in congress
to submit a clear-cut repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment, and the
difficulty OF obtaining the assent to
repeal by thirty-six states. Now
Mr. Raskob has abandoned his
earlier idea of having the national
committee sponsor his plan, and
simply requests the transmission of
his letter and statistics to the ma
tional convention, an orderly and
useful discussion Of his home-rule
project should begin. 1t is prac.
teal and reasonable. 1t saves the
faces OF both vets and drys. II 1t
were endorsed by both party con-
ventions, 1t would provide the ma
tional referendum which many
have sought, and would take the
question out of the presidential
campaign.
The machinery for the home
rule plan Is new and interesting.

Newton D. Bakers recent declaration on
the League Of Nations which automatically
placed him among the leading democratic
candidates for the presidential nomination
has caused SO much discussion that the re-
cent public life of the former war secretary
is being scrutinized by friend and foe alike.
prohlbitonlsts point out that he is
available to their faction on that score 1t
will be recalled that he was member of
President Hoover's famous Wckersham
commission which investigated law enforce
ment in the nation. On the topic of pro-
hibition Baker was personally in favor of
repeal of the 18th Amendment and sub
mission of liquor control to the several
states 1t was just year ago that the com
mission report created such furorc in po-
litical circles. We don't suppose that MIR
Baker has changed his opinion since then,
but it might be good idea for a statement
to be secured when he has returned from
his vacation. He saw fit to declare himself
on the League of Nations. Perhaps he may
feel the same way about prohibition. 1t
should not be made part of the democratic
plan of campaign for the presidency. But
then again he might claim that the party
eventually has to take stand on the sub
jeet. SO why not now.

BICENTENNIAL STAMPS.
Hartford Courantl

The Post Office department has
ordered the printing Of fourteen
billions of the Washington Bicen-
tennial stamps, a considerably
large number. and the following
order was issued more than three
months ago: Until otherwise d.
rected, all stamps In denominations
from half-cent to ten-cent, inclus-
i've on district post office requisi-
tons after January /, should be

The order seems prudent one
and cannot work a hardship on
either the postmasters or the pub
lie, since the new stamps conform
to standard in the matter OF size.

note that in 1881 in the nation there were
27,740 accidents because of improper

Refiners Swamped.
Since the law providing l-cent tax
on motor fuel was signed by President
Hoover, the refiners of the midcontinent
have been swamped with orders. The
movement is out of proportion to the
seasonal demand.
Most of the orders are coming from
brokers. jobbers and contract customers,
