 As ub-hearings to the general topic the discussion will center about such questions as: Should state legislatures pass on local questions? If so, by general or special legislation? How general IS the rotten borough problem and what are it's effects and, possible solutions? Does the holding of oth- CT political positions by members of the legislature initiate against the public interest and is the GUS tom general? How far should the legislature control the appointing power? .-...-. - .1

We might hesitate to talk about the cost of prohibition and the loss in revenue to the government. had the American people stopped drinking under this law. but every one knows that drinking instead of being eliminated, as was promised by the "drys," has steadily in- creased.
 Today, the federal government is powerless to abolish this law without the consent of the people. The congress and the majority of state legislatures have done their part. We will have no one to blame but ourselves if this shame full, wasteful and disastrous law is not eliminated from our consti- tuition forever.
 I believe that the resolution calling for repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment will be rati- fled within the next sixteen months.
 I believe the great majority. of the people of this country want repeal. They want to see the li- quor traffic controlled and taxed. They want to be rid of bootleggers, speakeasies, gangsters and racke- teers. They want to be rid of hyp- ocritical politicians. They want to be rid of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and "Otfler Peoples Morals" They want to be rid of the domination of the Anti-Saloon League. They want. to be rid of the Al, Capones and Bishop Cannons., They want to be rid of graft, corruption sand lawlessness, which has followed in the wake of the Eighteenth Amendment.

A grave danger is over-optimism on the part of repealists. Therefore, the Women's Organization for Ma tional Prohibition Reform is con- ducting campaign to endeavor to arouse the voters in the varioua states to the importance of their giving more than lip service to the cause of repeal, by working and voting to elect wet delegations. Six states = Michigan, Wiscon- sin, Rhode Island, Wyoming, New Jersey and New York = have already ratified, but this organiza- ton will continue it's work until thirty-six states have ratified.
 We will continue to do educa- tional work. We will continue to study the liquor control systems of other countries in order that we may be well informed. when our respective states ratify. as to the systems which have been effective. so that we may take an intelligent part in forming g liquor contro! system for our respective states.
 Prior to each state election, we will use every legitimate means, such as meetings, radio addresses, publicity and organizers to stimu- late the repeal sentiment in that state.
 For four years we have endeav- ored to bring before the public the evils resulting from the prohi- bition law. Today, we are faced with not only the same evils, but also with the that this insane experiment has en a financial drain upon the federal treasury, as

sell everything that the thirsty wanted; and finally, the foreign conspiracy already hiring our radio to advertise French wine and Ital- ian liquors and registering for eign influence to interierer in our American affairs.
 And now these five fingers are doubled up into the mailed fist try ing to beat prohibition to death before our eyes. .,,
 We believe that the people VIII come to the rescue and hurl back this conspiracy against morals and decency, save the 18th Amend mef1t = and that this present au- minsitration will face up to it and enforce it when it is shown to nf the will of the people that they should.

 New York-In these days when the pres ident and his administration are waging a battle against depression on national and in ternational fronts, it is likely to be forgotten that every voter in the United States has an opportunity to help the economic recovery within the next three months, by voting to eliminate the stupendous waste of money squandered in an endeavor to enforce the ob- noxious national prohibition law.
 During the last four years the Women's Organza- tion for National Prohibition Reform has made its fight for the Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment because of the moral depression resulting from the conditions existing under prohibition. But, today conditions make Repeal equally important econom- cay' and morally.
 In order to ratify repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment thirysx states must elect, to their respective state conventions, delegates who favor repeal Thirty eight legislatures have already passed leg isation setting up themachinery for the election of delegates to such conventions. .

We have nsver had such audi cnces assemble as assemble now at every temperance meeting. We have never had such liberal offerings for the support of the or ganizations.
 We have never had such large state conventions where people came by a thousand strong and paid their own expenses to plan to retain the amendment until we can find an administration that vii ltake the task seriously of ob- Constitution.
 The fight is on.
 May the right prevail.

POTOMAC RISE
PERIL To D. {.

Downtown Washington, the Mall
and all the Government buildings
on it, including those now under
construction, would be badly dam
aged by a rise in the Potomac
of 18 feet.
This was revealed today by
Major D. H. Gillette, assistant di-
rector of public buildings and
parks, in a report on flood con-
troll presented at the monthly
meeting of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
A flood similar to that expert
anced in 1889 would completely
inundate the Mall. he said, reach
ing it through low land lying east
of Lincoln Memorial.
Major Gillette followed up his
report with a plan by which, for
$4,000, a Ievee ranging from six
inches in. height to four feet
could be thrown up between the
Reflecting Pool and the Navy
Building to Seventeenth Street,
and a large pile of earth distrib-
uted over the northwest corner
of the Monument grounds suffi-
cient to throw up emergency bull
warks eight feet high at "a hours
notice. A sandbag barricade could
be thrown across Seventeenth
Street sufficiently high and strong
to protect the Mall.

RULING
ONBEERST|RS
PERMIT RUSH
Broadening Territory So As
to Include Residence Areas
Draws Many Inquiries

The rush that marked the first
few days of legal beer in Wash
ington was in a measure renewed
at the District Building today
with the withdrawal of restric-
tionS against sale of the 80 per
cent beverage in residential dis
tricts.
Merchatns whose applications
had been rejected or who had
withdrawn them because OF the
restriction flocked to the offices
of the Beverage Permit Board to
renew their pleas for the right
to sell beer.
It is expected that these appli-
cations will run well over 100,
while many merchants who did
not file because they felt it would
be useless in view of the reStric-
tions are expected to apply now
for permits.
Dram Plans Shift
With the renewal of the rush.
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, director of
inspections, who is a member of
the board, ordered the hundreds
of applications which have been
kept in his office removed to the
license bureau.
Captain Dram. who has an
nounced his intention of seeking
to be relieved from duty on the
beer board as soon as the perma-
nent licenses are granted, de,
clared that he felt the proper
place for the applications was in
the license bureau rather than in
his office and added that the
hundreds of persons inquiring
daily about the licenses have dis
rupted the work of his office.
Many Inquiries Made,
More than 100 persons called III
person at the beer board yester.
day, while about ESQ telephoned
for information about the change
in the regulations. At $3.50 a. m
today the rush began again.
The regulation was changed
following an order of Justice
Jesse C. Adkins in District Su
preme Court, holding that the
prohibition against "off sale" IL
censes in residential zones was in
valid.

LUMP SUM RIFF 7
CONTINUES IN
CONFERENCE
Action by House-Senate Body
on D. C. Supply Bill Waits
Till Tomorrow

The Federal lump-sum contribu-
tion to District revenues, ever a
bone of contention between the
two branches of Congress, again
became the chief point of contro-
versy when House and Senate
conferees met on the 1884 Dis
trict supply bill today.
No definite action was taken at
the conference on the many
Senate amendments to the House
bill and the session was post
poned until tomorrow morning.
House Group Firm
House conferees definitely indi-
Gated they would refuse to &C
cept the Senate increase to
$6,250,00O Of the House figure of
$5,700,000 for the lump sum. They
warned the Senate group that not
more than IS House members
favored any Federal contribution
whatsoever.
The Senate postponement of
the $1,000,000 annual payment
usually made to the Federal Gov
ernment by the District under
the terms of the Capper1Cram-
ton parkway act also met with
determined opposition.
Senators May Yield
Although certain House con-
ferees said they would accept
the majority of Senate amend
ments provided the Senate group
would recede on the lump sum
figure and the 100000 annual
payment. Representative Clar-
ence Cannon CD of Missouri.
leader of the House group, re-
fused to be committed to this
policy.
Senate acceptance of the
House terms on the lump sum
figure and the payment to the
Federal Government appeared
likely following today's confer
ence when Senate conferees said
they could only hope to get "the
best bill possible" and complete
the conferences within two days.
