Is expected to amend the House bill to

Hon. william H. King,
Washington, d. c.
my dear Senator:
"The hquor-control bill as introduced
in the House was bad enough. As
passed by the House it gives prac-
tically no protection to the public. It
does not even prohibit the drinking OF
whisky In street cars or on the street,
or at foot ball games or other public
places. 1t permits every grocery store,
every drug store and every other kind
Of store to become a seller Of whisky
and other alcoholic beverages merely
by paying the license fee. The bill
does not even prohibit the sale Of
liquor next door to a high school. 1t
allows a man to patronize bootlegger
all he pleases without any penalty,
although in doing so he is cheating
his Government just as definitely as
in making out a false income tax re-
turn.
I'VE are repeatedly told by the vets
that one Of the objectives should be
to promote temperance. How In the
name Of fairness is temperance pro-
NOTED by broadcasting liquor in every
grocery store and drug store, many
of which stores are frequented by young
people. We are not endeavoring at
this time to make it impossible or un-
duly inconvenient for people who want
liquor to get it. What we are aiming
at is to avoid unnecessary temptation
and intemperance by offering liquor for
sale under everybody's nose everywhere
Even from the wet point Of view, it is
not clear to us what advantage there
Is In authorizing the drinking Of liquor
openly at athletic games or on the
streets or in public conveyances.
I'VE are especially concerned about
protecting high school students. The
provision authorizing man to sell
liquor near a church or school provided
his place Of business was located there
on April /. 1888, is vicious. Is this
bill intended for the protection of young
people and for the promotion of tenn
perance, or Is it intended to protect
sellers Of whisky? And where direct
issue like this arises where We must
decide whether to protect the children
or protect the sellers Of whisky. is the
Congress Of the United States going to
decide to protect the latter?
There ought clearly to be strong
presumption against the granting Of
license for the sale Of liquor in store
which is located in close proximity to q

later to the question of the basic plan"
Commissioner George E. Allen, Cor
poration Counsel William w. Bride and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Vernon
West, who drafted the original private
license bill at the District Building, sat
in with the committee.
Although final vote later with all
Is of the committee members present
may result in reporting out the private
license plan the issue is so close that
the outcome still hung In the balance
this afternoon.
Regardless of which plan obtains a
majority in the committee, minority
report is almost certain to be filed by
the other group so that the question
will be settled in the last analysis by
the Senate itself. Supporters Of the
private license method appeared to be
confident that in the Senate as whole
that plan will have sufficient support to
be adopted, but the Government dis
pensary method has gained strength
steadily since consideration Of the bill
began at the Capitol and promises to
result in a spirited contest in the Sen
ate. There are no signs of any desire
on either side to delay or prevent pas
sage of a bill. but each group will make
a vigorous effort to have it based on a
system they prefer.
The committee members who could
not be present this morning were Sena-
tors Lewis Of Illinois, Tydings of Mary
land. Kean of New Jersey, Glass Of Vir-
ginia and Couzens of Michigan.
Some of these absentees have not
indicated since the bill has been under
consideration which plan they prefer.
Chairman King and Senator Capper
are leading the fight in the committee
for substitution of some form of Gov
ernment dispensary in place of private
license.
House Bill Attacked.
As the committee went into session
Chairman King and Senator Capper
received statement from Wilbur La
Roe, jr., chairman of the Civic Com
mittee of the Washington Federation Of
Churches, condemning the House bill as
one which provides practically no pro-
lection to the public. Mr.. LaRoe's state
ment pointed out that the bill as it
came from the House contains no ban
on drinking in public, which means that
liquor could be consumed on the
streets, on street cars or other public
places. He also pointed out that every
drug store and grocery establishment
could sell liquor and that liquor stores
could even be next door to a high
school He argued further that the
House bill provides no penalty for per-
sons who patronize bootleggers, al
though who do SO after legal sale is
authorized will be helping to evade
Federal tax laws.
Even if the Senate Committee adopts
the private license system in preference

he was In a hopeless minority.
He has continued unfalteringly
since. He has set an example TO

ing for participating in the Roosevelt crop destruc
ton program. Now again it develops that these
payments, even before they arrive, are being de-
Quoted from relief orders. These payments are
called benefit payments, but let any farmer ask
these politicians who is really benefitting by these
payments and he begins to stutter embarrassed for
an answer.
And if already now the democratic administra-
ton is making these deductions from relief ORDERS
it can very well be taken for granted that after the
election further cuts in wages (workers' buying
power) and relief win be made. Already Roosevelt
has announced that prices are to 60 up further by
a greater devaIuation of the dollar
These cuts can be avoided only if farmers and
workers continue their militant struggles for the
right to i've for better relief and higher wages
These struggles should find their expression
on Nov. 6 in a huge vote for the candidates of the
Communist party the only party which uncom-
promisingly fights for the welfare of farmers and
workers.

Communist Candidate fol
Clerk and Recorder

Magnus Danielsen has been
nominated by the Communist par
ty for the office of clerk and re-
corder not only because. he is a
sincere, class-conscious Communist
and an upright fighter, but also
because he is one of he most out
standing and best liked farmers of
his community. He is thoroughly
fitted for the job and capable of
administering it well.
Magnus is as years old. AS one
of the early settlers, he home
steaded in the northeast of Medi-
cine Lake country in 1907. On
this homestead he is still living.
/ In 1924 his wife died and he is
now a widower. They had no chill
dren.
Magnus Danielsen is not a we'll
to-do farmer. He has gone thru
the mill of hard times with all the
rest of us and especially lately hC
had to struggle hard to keep hi:
head above water. He knows vel
the conditions of the impoverishet
farmer because he is one himseE
and he knows what causes thes
conditions.
What his neighbors think of hir
is shown by the fact hat he i
