the death rate was nearly three times

teries. The amendment would not al

the state and the city of Baltimore to
conduct both lotteries and sweep
stakes on Maryland horse races.
When he addresses the two
branches of the legislature in joint
session tomorrow, Governor Richie
will give much attention to recon-
mendations for liquor control legis-
lation. His program, he has an
nounced, calls for legalization of
drinking places-called "taverns" in
the administration bill and the is
suance of three licenses for different
forms of sales by the drink.
Licensing Proposals
One; low cost license, will allow
only the sale of beer; another would
allow the sale of beer and natural
wines; the third, which would cost a
tavern" $500, and hotel $1,000,
would allow the sale of all alcoholic
beverages. The governor put forti-
fed and sparklin wines in the hard
liquor class.
Another administration liquor
recommendation, that which is ex-
pected to draw considerable fire, was
for a $1.1O a gallon excise tax to be
charged on hard liquors and the more
powerful wines.
Though he recommended that all
liquor sales be regulated by the pro-
visions of a statewide law, the gov
ernor added that 'local option"
should be allowed-not only to those
counties that wanted to be "bone dry"
but also to those who wanted the
sale of beer only, or beer and wines
only.

The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-

The Farm Credit Administration
Appraisers and others are in many

State and local boards have been es-
tablished from New England to Cali

Public Works-The organization of

visers, etc.
Wheat and Hog Curtailments-
Here, too, federal agents are active in
agricultural states.
The Civilian Conservation Corps
There are nearly 1,400 camps, under
federal supervision and direction.
Deposit Insurance-State banks,
more than 5000 in number, if quail
fled for benefits of the legislation
and if accepted, hereafter will submit
to measure of federal control.
The R. F. C.-Through liquidation
of banks and through loans of various
kinds, the R. F. C. reaches out directly
into large part Of the business COM
munity of the country.
The Employment Service of the De-
partment of Labor-In cooperation
with the states, local employment Of
fees are now in operation in many
American cities.
Federal Emergency Relief-Here,
too, the federal government, through
it's inspectors and other agents, enters
the field of relief previously controlled
by the local communities.
The Veterans Bureau-The new
boards, created to overhaul expendi-
lures in behalf of veterans, have been
set up with federal representation in
every state.
1t would appear, on the face of
things. that if bureaucracy grows as
much in the next few years as it has
in the past several months, that it
won't be long until everybody will be
drawing a salary from Uncle Sam.
And when this time comes who is
going to pay the taxes to provide the
salaries? Perhaps the bureaucrats
then, like the famous Kilkenny cats,
will eat one another. All other meth
DDS of decimating their number seem
to have failed.

BUREAUCRACY AN ISSUE?

One of the favorite targets of the
political orators in time of campaign
is old man Bureaucracy. When the po-
litical fight is on, he seems not to pos
sess a single friend. Everybody's hand
is against him, and it would appear
that his days were numbered. But
when the election is over, he seems
not only to thrive and hold his own,
but actually to wax fat. He continues
his hold on the governmental machin-
cry in. Washington and probobly in
every state capital. He is harder to
get rid of than a frozen asset.
We heard a great deal about the
evils of bureaucracy in the last cam
paign and in the one before that. But
it seems that the bureau system with
its red tape and its fat payrolls is not
only permanent but a growing in
stitution.
Many political prophets are predict
ing that bureaucracy will be real
issue in the next political campaign.
Certainly, if it is not, it will not be
because of a dearth of material.
Among those who prophesy bureau
cratic issue in the next campaign is
Oliver Mckee, Jr., Washington CORES
pondent of the Boston Transcript, who
has compiled a partial list of new be-
reaus and divisions at Washington,
and who adds that the list could be
extended much further. But the list
which speaks for itself is as follows:

GOSPEL OF SELF-RESPECT
IS ONLY DRY WEAPON LEFT

"Why will less liquor be used after
all the laws against the manufacture
and sale of this drink have been re-
pealed?" is question asked in front
page editorial of the DeKalb New
Era, published at Decature, Ga. Con-
tinuing the New Era asks: eff condi-
lions are to be better after repeal
than before, just what is to make
them so?
ITO the casual observer, it appears
that the cause of temperance with
all of it's Interference with clear think
ing and fine living is to be pushed
back to the uncertain status of tenn
perance in the seventies. Then those,
who wanted liquor, got it, drank it and
frequently brought unnecessary trou-
BILE upon themselves or others who
were in no way responsible for what
occurred. The only weapon which
could be used against drinking in
those days was merely an appeal to
the moral sense or the self-respect of
individuals. There was no law to re-
strain the making or the selling of
whiskey and there was nothing to
prevent any person becoming intoxi-
Gated who could not or would not re-
frain from drinking the required
amount.
without laws to protect it from the
ravages of debauchery, decent society
did the only thing it could do. 1t made
long and relentless warfare against
drunkenness and sought to combat the
liquor evil by the most powerful posi-
BILE appeal to the moral sense of those
who sought to lead sober upright
lives.
at is contended that much of the
drinking of the present day is done
by young people and women. No
reason whatever is given why these
persons will cease drinking when the
liquor laws are repealed. 1t is absurd
to expect them to do so.
"Stores of all kinds seek good loca-
lions because experienced business
men. know that convenience and Access
sibility to the crowds bring more GUS
toners. Future liquor dealers know
the same thing. With all legal re-
straints gone and large stocks of
drinks temptingly displayed, it is per-
fectly natural for people to buy liquor
who formerly did not care to go to the
trouble necessary to obtain it.
CATER national repeal goes into eff
feet, the whole burden of enforcing
the state dry law will fall on the sher-
ifs and police forces of the State. * *
"The only weapon which can hence
forth be used by the friends Of tenn
perance is the old broad sword of past
generations-an appeal to the moral
sense and self-respect of those who
wish to lead upright Christian lives. "
