PROHIBITION

new campaign has started this week. On Aug
ust 29th, another step will have been taken in the
age-long fight over the uses Of alcohol, as far as
the state Of Washington is concerned.
Washington first met the problem at the conven-
ton in 1889 which indicted it to statehood. At this
time prohibition rejected But twenty-five
years later sufficient dry sentiment had been
aroused that system of usage by permit was set
up. By 1918 this sentiment had grown to such
proportions that the state went bone-dry, and the
state legislature in 1919 readily ratified the Eight
zenith Amendment to the federal constitution.
That the national feeling on the subject has re-
Gently and decisively changed is apparent by the
vote of the twenty states where candidates for
repeal conventions have been elected These states,
many of which have for years been dry strong
holds, have definitely renowned prohibition and
all for which it stands. That majority Of the re-
manning states yet to vote will express themselves
as against prohibition may safely be predicted.
The Greeks had word for it-Temperance,
moderate use of good things. The emphasis was
ever moderation, seldom on inhibition. That
we believe, was the original motive of the temper
workers. However, to check the evils of over
indulgence so painful to behold the first idea be-
came waylaid by ever-increasing momentum
which swept the nation to absolute prohibition
with it's resultant evils
That the voters are now recognizing that the
wake of prohibition is of vileness equaling that
of the intemperance it sought to curb is apparent.
America is prepared for step toward true
temperance.

sPOKEsMAN's BIRTHDAY

Today marks the twenty-sxth anniversary in
the life of the White Bluffs Spokesman. Estab-
lished in 1907 by Angus Hay, and later edited by
d. J. O'Larey until recently, the Spokesman has
served the Priest Rapids valley for twenty-six
years-a long life for any newspaper and an espec-
tally remarkable feat of longevity for journal
which serves but few hundred subscribers
The Spokesman has passed through many trying
periods of community strife as we'll periods of
worldwide economic gloom. During these twenty
six years the Spokesman has constantly improved
in all phases of it's existence.
1t is our hope that the Spokesman will continue
to improve and to merit the continued support OF
the communities which it has so long served. Not
only do hope to present all of the local to
readers but editorial opinions on controversial
matters pertinent to this valley which will stimu-
late activity for the well-being of us ALL
Recognizing our own limitations nevertheless,
we hope to present authoritative articles vital
issues by men of recognized ability. At present,
for instance, we proud to give readers
Congressman Knute Hill's Interpretation Of fed
eral farm relief measures, which we believe of
paramount interest to anyone owning farm
One department which we have missed for some
time is that known as ''Letters from Our Read
ers." We are as anxious to give space, when pos
sible, to the opinions of our subscribers as
to voice our own. This department has been much
to our regret, absent from the paper for sevral
months The time-honored phrase, 'sFreedom Of
the Press" should mean as much to the readers
as to the editors of a publication.

PRESIDENT HAS
TAKEN HOLD OF
y
. BUSINESS PUSH
Throws His Own Powers
Behind Drive to Settle
! Disputes With Oil, Coal
/, and Steel Industries
by II %. THOMPSON

united Press STAFF Correspondent
Washington, Aug 14-(UP)-
President Roosevelt took guiding
hand to-day In his national recov-
cry administration drive to bring
three industries, oil, coal and steel,
under codes regulating COMPETE
ton. wages and working hours.
Codes for these giants have been
delayed by protracted controver-
Sizes. Pending a final solution, the
oil industry has been authorized to
operate under a modified form of
the presidential unemployment
agreement. The others still are
outside the fold.
As Mr. Roosevelt took personal
command on his return from Hyde
Park. N. r., one Of his first acts
was to 60 over the oil. coal and
steel disputes with Kenneth M.
Simpson, deputy MIRA administra-
tor, who presided at hearings which
failed to bring agreement on pro-
posed codes for the three groups.
With Simpsons report at hand, the
president expected to meet with
Chief Administrators Hugh s. john
son to-day.
The issue of price-fixing Is the
crux of the oil controversy. Major
producers insisted that the govern
ment prescribe prices that would
assure them q return sufficient to
meet increased wages and shorter
working hours.
johnson opposed this, feeling
that federal regulation Of produce
ton would stabilize prices. NRA
economists and interior depart
ment experts hope to have a solu-
ton by Thursday, when "a leaders
OF the industry meet with Johnson.
The coal and steel controversies
have cut q still sharper line be-
tween policies of the Roosevelt ad.
ministration and those of powerful
industrialists, including Mellon,
Morgan and Rockefeller interests.
Important sections of the coal In
dustry virtually have defied the ad-
ministration to try to force them to
end their traditional non-union Ia
Dor policy. johnson declares their
code must permit workers to or
ganize in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the recovery act. And he
is, believed to have the full sup
portof Mr. Roosevelt, who has pow
err to prescribe code for the In
dustry
While johnson concentrated on
the, big Industries, he relied upon
consumers and local campaign
committees to exert increasing
pressure on stores and other en-
ployers to sign the blanket re-em-
ployment agreement and to live up
to Its terms.
Buy! Buy nowl' he exhorted
In a nationwide address from a st
Louis mass meeting, declaring that
employers can pay higher wages
only as their business increases.
"Buy everything you need and
have so long denied yourself. 1t Is
the key to the whole situation"
Johnson appealed especially to
housewives to buy under the sign
of the blue eagle. He pointed out
that they control the bulk Of retail
purchases.
"This whole venture Ia In the
hands Of our women he declared.
"and It could not be In surer
hands"
