RESULTS OF PROHIBITION
TELLING, CLAIMS BISHOP
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 31—The j
“doleful chorus” of Broadway’s big
hotels and restaurants will answer the
question of prohibition’s success or
failure, Bishop Thomas Nicholson,
New York, president of the Anti-Sa
loon League of America, declared to
day at the anuual convention.
I i Citing the prosperity of banks and
j life insurance companies and the de
crease in unemployment as answers
to the question, “is prohibition a fail
ure?” Bishop Nicholson declared that
| “to climax it all the national wealth
has just doubled in ten years and the
, major part of the increase has been
j during the past five years. ’
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun
sel for the league, outlined a “fight
ing program,” which, he declared
“will neither ask nor give quarter in
our fight for law enforcement.”
DELEGATE SUTHERLAND
PRESENTS A BILL
A bill designed to speed up the
sale of small areas of timber, partic
ularly in Alaska, was introduced in
the Lower House last motnh
by Delegate Sutherland, according to j
advices received here. It provided fori
the sale of timber where the stump- j
age does not exceed $1,000 without I
having first been advertised.
Under the present laws, sales, where;
the stumpage exceeds $1,000 cannot be j
made without first advertising the ar
ea, it was stated. If the proposed law
is enacted, it will be possible, accord
ign to local Forestry officials to sell
; timber for piling for traps and for
other purposes where small quanti
ties only are required without the d#
lay now incident to advertising.
The bill also contains a provision
authorizing the Department of Agri
culture to receive deposits from any
purchaser of national forest timber i
in such amounts as may be necessary ;
to pay all or part of the cost to the i
government of administering the sale <
of such timber. Such funds would ]
constitute a special administrative ]
treasury deposit and the surplus from 1
any particular deposit required to be j
refunded to the depositor. ]

LINES Of THE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—Cap
ital hill is just now the scene of one
of the most unprecedented situations
in recent legislative history. The
pledges to pass a soldier bonus bill
are more than sufficient numerical
ly to carry the measure through, but
the wave of public opinion which has
swept the house and senate is so
strong for tax revision, that the em
barrassments to individual mem
bers are accumulating daily.
If a vote were taken today on how
congress really feels about the sol
dier bonus, it would not become law.
Not enough votes would be polled to
override the presidential veto which
is inevitable. The lines of the bonds
is inevitable. Thelines of the bonus
advocates have been steadily weak
ening for several days. Expressions
from all parts of the country have
been so emphatic that many mem
bers who are not yet willing public
ly to say they have changed are be
gininng to fall in line with the tac
tics of Representative Longworth,
majority leader of the house, who
wants to give the tax bill right-of
way and consider the bonus bill aft
erwards. He knows perfectly well
that once the tar bill is passed, the
chances of re-opening the revenue
measure to provide funds for the
payment of a bonus will be slim in
deed. If any one could devise a way
to relieve members of congress of
pledges given at a time when tar re
duction was not thought of a rival
issue, he would change the situation
iver night.
“Stalling Along.”
Mr. Longworth is endeavoring to
tall the bonus along so that mem
lers will have the excuse that the
;ovvernment cannot afford it and that
he passage of a bill without means
f providing payment is not advisa
le.
The bonus men have not diminish
d their campaign in any sense, but
hey realize the strength of the op
osition which has created any they
ill hold individual members to their
ledges fighting them in their re
pective constituencies if they do not
llfill the pledges given.
One of the most unfortunate phases
f the situation is the existence of
well meant but poorly conducted at
impt to influence eongresees in favor
l tax revision and against he bonus,
arm letters by the thousands are
auring into Washington prepared by
inks and business houses with the
lea of making congress abandon the
anus and take up revisions. Sen
ators and members of tne house are j
rarely impressed by form letters.
They are much more interested in let
ters personally without iniluence from
any business institutions. As a mat
ter of fact there is a good deal of in
dividual writing going on, ai d it is
having a remarkable effect. The pres
ent drift away from the bonus and
toward tax revision can be attribut-1
ed in large part to Hie letters oeing
written by people in at 1 parts of the}
country to their representatives in
congress.
Struggle Not Over.
It isn’t thelengthy letter that im-j
presses the man on capitol hill. Brief
expressions of opinion on whether
tax revision or a bonus should be giv
en the righ-of-way teli as much as a
long argument. What congress ai
present wants to know really is
whether the advocates ol a bonus are
numerically greater than the advo
cates of tax reduction.
