agree that nothing can be gained
by delaying the settlement of an
issue that has ragged for many
years, will attempt to put through
the Wanick-Murrhy plan, but il
| is doubtful if they can succeed
so long as the assembly is alb
sorbed with other problems. The
ultra-drys Will, of course. be glad
of any excuse to forcstall action
at this session.
The vets claim that the senti-
ment of North Carolina was
clearly expressed in the scna-
torial primary last fall, and that
the only persons who are oppos-
ing q convention IN this state
are professional drys and mi
nority Of elderly persons who are
not in touch with present social
conditions, and who do not know
that there is just as much whis-
key being consumed as ever.
The professional drys are sched-
uled to be heard on a senate bill
legalizing wine and beer next
Tuesday afternoon before judi
ciary committee No. /. This die
hard element of the drys have
opposed similar legislation on the
ground that the people should be
allowed TO vote on the question,
but they are also opposed to
holding convention with the
next few years on the ground
that the prohibition issue might
be decided on an economic rath-
er than a moral basis.

was gasping for breath, having
suffered from amputation Of title
two, better known as the domes-
tic allotment plan.
Today Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace was to appear before the
committee and try to persuade the
members to graft title two back
on the bill. Smith is the second
Democratic chairman of an agrl-
culture committee to defy the
thunder and lightning of the
White House. Before the farm
bill passed the house Chairman
Jones of the agriculture commit
tee there, rebelled and refused TO
introduce the bill although he
voted for it when it came up for
final passage.
Smith proposed a substitute for
the domestic allotment plan yes
terday.
The committee has not acted
on his proposal yet, but discus
sion at the hearing indicated sew
eraI members of the committee
would support him in his stand.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Wallace con-
slider the domestic allotment plan

vides for paying a bounty to
farmers who agree to reduce
their acreage. Money for the
bounty would be raised by levy

Opponents objected to the do
nestle allotment plan on the the
DRY the processing tax would be
passed along to the consumer in
the form of higher retail prices
at the rate of $800,O0O,O00 a
year.
Smiths substitute proposes to
limit the amount of the tax to
the actual expenses the federal
government will incur under the
bill. These expenses would in
clude money expended to lease
lands from farmers and take it
out of production. IT" also pro-
poses to eliminate the section
which provides professors must
obtain operating licenses from the
government.
Smith would leave unchanged
the cotton option provision Of the
bill, which he wrote himself.

The vote on this amendment was
also surprising, 38 to 6.
Many of the senators in voting
against imposing a tax on for
eign stock explained that they
had come to the general assem-
bly, with the intention of levying
a tax on foreign stock, but that
they had changed their minds
after being shown figures from
the revenue department, which
revealed that in 1928. the last
year which North Carolina i'm
posed a tax on foreign stock, the
yield from this source was only
$I64,00O, whereas the state now
collects between 100000 and
100000 annually by imposing a
s ner cent tax on the income
from foreign stock.

Babes arithmetic was slightly
faulty as he needs 48 homars this
season to reach the 700 mark.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. Z G.N.SO "A
great victory has been won, but
this is no time for undue revelry
or excess.
The fight was not for liquor and
the victory is not for liquor. The
fight was for law and order and
temperance, and the victory be-
longs to them.
The American people have de-
cided that gangsters and racketeers
and all of their breed, including
kidnapers, extortioners and open
market buyers of judges and po-
lice. shall no longer be the pur-
veyors of that part of the ma
tional diet which contains alcohol.
Sees BOOtIeg's End
We have had IA years of pro-
hibition which did not prohibit, ID
years of breakdown in law
which has destroyed the integrity
of cities and of States. The people
have decided to end that situa-
ton once and for all.
The people have not decided that
alcoholic drinks are an important
or even desirable part of any in
dividual's custom or life.
Thousands of centuries have left
mankind with the habit of drink
ing beverages of alcoholic content.
These same centuries have given
us the bitter experiences Of over
indulgence. The repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment does not
alter these truths.
It simply restores the legal sale
Of alcoholic beverages.
It will put an end to boot
Logging and the increase in those
crimes to which bootleggers
turned when the breakdown in
this law lowered the barriers on
which all relies.
Warns of Excess
I have fought against the
Eighteenth Amendment for as
many years as it has been in
existence. L never once tOugnt
for drink or for liquor as part
of our daily life. I fought for
government and for law. I
fought against the breakdown of
popular respect for all law which
disrespect for this law caused.
I hope the people of the coun-
try will regard the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment as the
restoration of a normal civic life,
not as the opportunity for excess.
We have won a great victory,
but the vast majority of our
people were very much more in
terested in the restoration of the
sound principles of American
Government and of the guar
antees of personal liberty, than
they we're in saloons.
Don't let us forget that!

Couch Shown AS Borrower
Of Chase Bank Funds

right now; his first borrowing
relations were as far back as
1918. long before I seven went

He said Couch had $3,500,OOO
participation in a $1O,00O,000 syn
dicate that purchased the Louis
lana and Arkansas Railway.
The syndicate borrowed So, 2,795,-
900 from the National Park Bank
in 1923, while Mccain was its
president. The loan was taken
over by the Chase when the Ma
tionaI Park was merged with the
larger bank in 1929. The syndi-
cate still owes the Chase $1,289,-
600.
Other Participants
The syndicate was managed by
Dillon. Read & Co., Couch &
Mccain. Dillon, Read & Co. had
a $3,OOO,O0O participation in it.
Other participants were Rudolph

$1,OO0,000, and Mccain, $650,OO0.
Mccain explained that Couch
had divided his $3,500.0OO share
of the syndicate among sub-par-
ticipants. Couch kept $1,650,000
for himself.
Mccain said this railroad never
applied for an R. F. C. loan.

chased not only the Louisiana
