REPEAL TREND
INCREASING IN
DRY SOUTH

"A definite psychological effect
on dry and doubtful States may
be expected from the overwhelm-
ing repeal sentiment shown in the
Wisconsin and Michigan votes.
This was the concensus today
Of Representatives OF all the
Southern States hitherto over
whelmingly dry.
Texas Evenly Divided
Some went to the extent of say.
ing that the repeal sentiment
shown so overwhelmingly in Mich
igan, a former dry State, coupled
with surprising developments in
the supposedly dry South itself I,
may start parade of State rati-
'fications, with many States COM
peting to get on the bandwagon.
"Texas today, in my opinion,
Is nearly evenly divided in wet
and dry sentiment"
So said Representative Jones
Cd Of that State, chairman Of
the House Agriculture Committe.
He added:
Undoubtedly the action Of
other States has an effect in
States which have not yet
acted"
Representative McSwain CD
Of South Carolina, chairman OF
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, subscribed to the same
view. He observed:
Thirty days ago I would not
have dreamed that my State
would ever legalize beer. Yet
the lower branch Of the Legis-
lature has voted it, and under
derstand the senate will follow
suit. The action Of other States
is bound to have an effect in
South Carolina"
N. C. IN REPEAL
The effect of other States go
ing strongly for repeal will add
to the already strong repeal sent1-
ment in North Carolina, accord
ing to Representative Warren,
chairman Of the House Accounts
Committe. He said:
"There is no doubt that North
Carolina will vote for repeal.
The action Of q former dry
State like Michigan doubtless
will have the effect Of adding
to the majority"
Kentucky will be influenced IN
its position on repeal by the votes
Of other States. Representative
Vinson CD of that State said:
"On TOP of everything else,
there is the tendency Of people
to vote against the existing
order. This may become a
'bandwagon' matter, with every
State climbing aboard"
Even Georgia Affected
Georgia now expects South
Carolina to ratify the amendment
to repeal prohibition, Representa-
tive Vinson CD Of that State
said. He declared:
'When beer is legaliZed there,
GeOrgians will flock over the
line. This will create repeal
sentiment in Georgia, I think.
i am not so sure that a State
as far away as Wisconsin or
Michigan would have much
effect down home"
Florida will be right in line to
ratify repeal, and the big votes
the same way elsewhere will have
q definite effect to increase the
wet majority, Representative Will
cox CD of that State, observed.

WALL STREET

All the Wall Street signs are healthy.
Prices are today at very low level, hardly
expressing the actual values of the securi-
ties of the various corporations whose
stocks and bonds are listed. Government
supervision of values is only matter of
days. With such supervision guaranteeing
values, even though in, some instances they
may be speculative, public confidence will
grow.
Fifteen months of national idleness
have passed and this idleness has been re-
Elected in the market prices of securities.
There is every reason to believe that for
these fifteen months the business of the
country has been resting on the bottom
the ultimate bottom. Conditions are not
apt to become worse. AS matter of fact,
there is every reason for the belief that
they will improve. Signs of such improve
ment are found on every side and the re-
birth of the enormous beer industry has
been like hypodermic injection of busi-
ness serum,
There is reserve of money in hiding
that will emerge as soon as the business
world indicates a sustained Improvement.
The government figures for boarded gold
indicate that there is billion of dollars
in gold alone in hiding, There Is probably
an equal greater amount in actual cash
also in reserve The emergency of any
substantial portion of this hidden wealth,
which improvement in business will surely
bring out, will find it's echo in Wall Street.
Prices will start upward Investment in
American industrial stocks Is strongly
recommended at this time. There should
be no further recessions.

WHAT IS A MAN WORTH?

Recent agitation against fabulous
salaries or other compensation paid to top
notchers in the business and amusement
world have brought to light some amazing
figures.
Nearly everyone is familiar with the
high values placed upon certain noted
athletic, movie and radio stars; also there
is general knowledge that high railroad
and other industrial executives have been
receiving enormous salaries
One outstanding example of extrava-
giant remuneration for personal services is
that received by George w. Hill president
of the American Tobacco Company. Ac-
cording to the official reports furnished to
stockholders Of that company Mr.. Hill has
received salaries and bonuses as follows:
In addition to salary of 100000 a
year he received a bonus of $447,870 in
1929, $842 sos in 1880, 1891. $40 in 1881.
In 1892 his salary was cut to $4,000, but
in addition he received bonus of $685.
900, or total of $7S9,50O for the year.
These large bonuses, it Is understood,
have been based upon the net earnings OF
the company, supposedly due to Mr.. Hills
ability as a manager. And there is no
doubt that he has been and is today one OF
the most efficient and successful executives
in the world. In spite Of the depression,
his company has continued to make enor-
nous profits. And during the four years
since the business slump began he has re-
oeived between 100000 and $1.O00,00O
year for his services.
The question arises as to. whether he
or any other man is entitled to receive that
much money for managing any business,
however large it may be. In other words,
how much can the services of any man
possibly be worth? A. hard question to
answer.

PLENTY or BUSINESS

What the brewing business means
to the prosperity of the country has been
shown by the reports of increased business
everywhere.
From all sides come reports of re-
newed activity in general business.
But the surface has not been
scratched.
When prohibition went into effect
there were about 800 breweries operating
in the United States. When beer was
legalized there were I64 hreweries oper-
ating This means that more than 1900
plants will have to be remodelled or re
built.
That means tremendous amount of
employment
Meanwhile there will probably be a
beer famine. with the breweries now run
ming totally unable to meet the demand.
The benefits to the country can hardly
be realized By those unfamiliar with the
facts.

OLD CUSTOM OF
APPLAUDING in
HOUSE RETURNS
BEER BILL ATTACK BRINGS
"scoLDING" TO NOVICE IN
PROCEDURE DURING DIS
CUSTOM
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
tsy a associated Pres~l

WASHINGTON, April 22.-
Freshmen members of the house,
generally speaking, have been
dealt with rather gently by their
older colleagues on the floor thus
far in the special session.
There has been little hazing of
the new members such as has been
so noticeable in previous new
congresses. Perhaps lot of it
has to do with the fact that many
of the old-time disciplinarians are
absent. .
Underhill of Massachusetts,, for
example. is gone. Always jealous
of the traditions of the house, he
could be counted on to "dress
down" one or two session. and
in a fashion that usually was ef-
/ fective.
As rule the newcomers in the
seventy-third have been permitted
to go pretty much their own ways.
They have spoken whenever they
wanted to, or rather, when they
could get the time, and have been
| listened to rather attentively.
Il Still Works
But the familiar old custom of
the house of "applauding under
the seatsn-that phrase known on
Capitol Hill as denoting disap-
proval Of something a member
does--has not been discarded en-
tirely. 1t was used on fresh
man representative just the other
day with telling effect.
It happened during debate on
the District of Columbia beer bill.
A new member from Texas Nc
.tarlane-was recognized for five
minutes to speak in opposition to
the bill.
McFarlane, an ardent prohibit
ZIONIST who already had broken I'M
to debate on this subject several
times, began to attack the bill.
During the course of his remarks
he charged that before prohibitions
some members of the house had
been under the influence of al
cohol and had appeared on the
floor in such q condition.
O'Connor of New York, broad
sh0nldered, outspoken man, was
on his feet instantly. He came
hack at McFarlane vigorously. de-
claring that the charge was an old
one which had long since been
disproved and that he was amazed
that the Texan would bring it up
lagain.
| Order-Finally
Then the house did something
that one rarely sees.
A burst of applause was heard
that drowned out everything. 1t
kept up. When McFarlane at
tempted to resume his speech the
applause was only the louder.
1t looked for while as il he
would not be able to continue.
But Marvin Jones of Texas, who
was presiding, pounded his gavel
with such force that order was
finally restored.
McFarlane resumed talking, but
| in a different manner. It was
evident that '.the applause under
the seat" had had its effect.
The Record of the days pro-
eeedings made no mention Of the
episode.
