A LEADING contributor to the spread of al
~ coholism in this country was the Prohib-
ton Amendment
The period between its passage in 1919 and its
repeal in 1893 was one in which nobody drank
decently-To drink at all meant eenniping to dc
so with the most sinister elements of socety-the
-bootcgger, the smuggier, the racketeer the hi
jacker and the murderer. Whether we did so d-
rectfy or indirectly we cannot shrug off the truth

The psychiatrists tell us that feeling of in
security is one of the strong motivatons of the
alcoholic who drinks to escape the pains and the
burdens of living Alcoholics who have stopped
drinking say that nothing so whets the thirst of a
drunkard as interference with his right to quench
it. Not only did excessive drinking become the
great American epidemic, but the flight of the
drunkard over the border into alcoholism was
speeded up.
Aside from the testimony Of the experts, for
proof of this one has only to attend meeting of

MADISON, Wis, July 19.-The
Legislatures judgment went hay

Walter S. Goodland in considering
the unprecedented shellacking the
lawmakers administered in over
riding II vetoes in two days.
But the Governor, whose tenacity
and deep-throated voice have won
him the name "Mr Woof Woof''
from those with whom he has
tangled over affairs of State, took
the setback in stride although there
was a note of warning in his COM
ment.

principal leasons why initiation has
already gone so far.
Would Halt Pay Increases.
Mr.. Gannett summed up inf1a-
tionary ills in four categories and
offered as many corrective measures.
He declared it is wrong Cd to be-
lieve that labor can escape the in
escapable economic sacrifices of war;
CD to believe that the cost of living
could be kept from rising, despite
inf1ationary wage increases; 60 to
believe that raising farm prices to
fair levels was the sole cause of
higher living costs; (4 to believe
that labor could not only maintain,
but could raise its own standard of
living, without sacrificing any of
"labor's gains"
To check imitation he advised Cd
halting all further increases in
wages and salaries; 90 siphoning off
the public's excess spending power
or buying power; CD encouraging
production OF necessities by permit
ting prices of necessities to rise and
use the automatic price mechanism
SO far as possible instead of bureau
cratic price fixing; a. increasing
production of foods and necessities.

Gooeland played too much of q
lone hand in party matters. The
Legislature quickly repassed II of
the vetoed bills, killed three and re-
cessed for another three weeks.
Republican leaders frankly stated
the recess, rather than sine die ad-
journment, was taken so they could
keep "one foot in the door" to see
what happens. They also limited
at third recess, explaining that
since Gov. Goodland proposes a
special session to consider postwar
problems, they preferred to remain
in regular session. Thus they could

Governor demanded economy and
set out to build up large surplus
to meet postwar contingencies. The
legislators, thinking about campaign
pledges, frequently found them
selves opposed to his projects.
After six months of labor the
legislators cleared their desks and on
June 18 recessed for three weeks.
Returning, they found "a vetoes
awaiting them. Rebellion broke out.
Republicans lambasted Gov. Good

They dumped 200 bills in my lap
and then left town." Gov. Goodland
commented when apprised of the
complaints. How could I consult
with them when they weren't here?
But I don't consider the overriding
of the vetoes as an attack on me.
I think the judgment of the Legis-
lature went haywire."

Gannett Urges Firm
Stand in Congress
To Check Initiation

Declaring that price fixing and
rationing will not accomplish their
purpose Of checking imitation, Frank
E. Gannett, president of the Gannett
Newspapers, today sent to all men,
bers OF Congress a study of imitation,
recently completed by two Cornell
University professors, commencing
1t to their consideration in formulat-
ing future legislation.
LAS never before in our history,
We need men in public life who are
not seeking votes by favoring this
or that group" Mr. Gannett wrote,
but, instead, are seeking to protect
this Nation from the perils that
directly or indirectly result from war
We need men in Washington who
will stand up for their convictions,
whatever may be the cost to their
personal or political fortunes"
He said the study, the work of F..
A. Harper and w. M Curtiss of the
agricultural economics department
of the college of agriculture of
Cornell, had made such deep i'm
preston on him he was prompted
to bring it to the attention of Con-
gress.
Sees "Delusion."
Recently there has been evident
wide misunderstanding of the causes
and effects Of imitation and lack of
appreciation Of the seriousness of
our food situation" he said.
Summing up the study in II points,
Mr.. Gannett concluded that sub
sides. rollbacks and incentive pay
ments are only a delusion. The
dollars which they add to the total
spending power are just as inf1a-
tionary as though they were added
to price increases"
He claimed that of the $42 900, ,OO0,-
900 increase in national income be-
tween 1899 and 1912, only IA per
cent went to agriculture, while 86
per cent went to nonagricultural
sources. He branded as absurd the
assertion that rising farm prices,
not increased wages, caused the rise
in living costs.
Some imitation is inevitable in
wartime, he wrote, but it must be
curbed so far as possible.

Agreement Seen on Use
Of u. ). Silver in War
BY the Associated Press

~ 'A1S hosotioecu fiSSS
Possibility of agreement on a
plan for use of Treasury silver for
war purposes was suggested by SEN
ator Murdock, Democrat, of Utah
today during a hearing on three
silver bills by subcommittee of the
Senate Banking and Currency Com
mittee.
In discussion of his bill to
authorize the lease or sale of Treas
ury silver for use In furtherance of
the war effort" Senator Green.
Democrat, of Rhode Island told the
committee that the measures pro-
posed price of so cents an ounce
was suggested by the Treasury De-
partment. Senator Murdock in
quired whether he would consider
fixing the price at Till cents. which
the Treasury now pays for domestic
silver.
Senator Green replied that the
only purpose of his bill was to re-
lease the silver and that the price
was not material.
Senator Murdock then remarked
that he believes the Senators from
the Western mining States could
agree with the proponents of the
bill if the TIL price was fixed.
Richard J. Lund, director of the
miscellaneous minerals division of
the War Production Board, also told
the committee that "if the price is
fixed at Till the WPB will not in
terpose an objection"
Senator Murdock said after the
session that he expected an agree
ment would be reached to make the
sale price I'LL and that the COM
mittee would recommend the bill.
