submission. The demand has come
with rush in the last few months.
With the selection Of presidential and
vice presidential candidates to all prac-
tical purposes settled before the dele
gates go to Chicago for the Republican
National Convention, opening June IA,
the only big controversial question that
appears likely to come before the con-
vention is that of prohibition.
Hopes of Vets Raised.
The drys in the Republican party
have until recently insisted that the
G. o. P. must stick to a law-enforce-
ment plank in its natural platform and
not risk offending the dry voters by
adopting any kind Of a plank which
would be displeasing to them. Some of
them have gone so far as to say that
President Hoover should take deter
mined stand against a IesubmiSsion
plank. The wet Republicans, on the
other hand, have urged President
Hoover to keep hands off and let the
national convention itself settle this
question. Up to date the President
apparently has kept hands off
Two months ago the most ardent
vets in the Republican party only
hoped to get the question Of a resub-
mission plank before the national con-
vention through the filing Of q minority
report OF the Committee on Resolu-
tions. Today, however, the opponents
of national prohibition are much more
hopeful. They say that it may be pos
sible after all TO have a referendum
or resubmisSion plank included in the
party platform when it Is reported by
the majority vote of the Resolutions
Committee TO the convention itself.
The Minnesota Republican State
Convention instructed all the delegates
to the Republican National Convention
to vote for the denomination of Presi-
dent Hoover. And, having accomplished
those instructions, it turned It's atten-
tion Immediately to the prohibition
question and defeated the dry opposi-
ton to resubmission plank. The dry
Republicans who have come around 10
the position where they are willing 10
have resubmission plank in the plat
form are saying that MIR. Hoover could
run on such a platform, advocating
strict enforcement Of the law and not
taking vet position. Their argument
is that 1t does not commit the G.. o. p.
TO the wet cause. but merely pledges q
referendum.

new SALOON TAX
SCORED IN MEXICO
Heavy Levy on Border and Mexico
City Sales Brings Dealers Threat
to Quit Business.
By the Associated Press.

ny tne associated FfesS
MEXICO CITY, May 2.-Saloon and
liquor store dealers here have organized
hastily to attempt to convince the
treasury department that the govern
ment'S new high liquor license taxes
are 'ruinous and should be modified.
In resolutions drawn up for presenta-
tion today to Alberto J. Fani secre-
tary of the treasury, dealers in the
federal district said they would be
forced to close.
The measure, which went into effect
yesterday, strikes hard at all liquor
selling, but is especially severe on
saloons and liquor stores along the
United States border and in the federal
district.
The measure places tax Of 1000
pesos (about s335) monthly on first
class saloons within 100 kilometers of
the United States boundary. Second
class stores will pay 900 pesos (about
5000 monthly. Much Of the liquor
sold along the border Is bought by
American tourists.
While some border SaloonkeeperS
have announced they will close. it was
considered probable that others will at
tempt to stay open, meanwhile protest
ing the taxation.
