It is but a forerunner of what may be done in the United States if the people are allowed to vote on tue repeal of the Eighteenth amendment Over there they voted short on modification of the law with less than 2 per cent of the votes. The vote against repeal vas place 1 ut around 35 per cent. On the statute books of the United States then is no a: xle which has been more disrespected than the prohibition la Its violation has also caused people to be more disrespectful cf ot'ier laws and during no perioi of existence of r,Qvann.ent h re lias crime been more rampant than since the Eighteenth amendment be came a law. Passed during a period when oi:r boys, a large electorate, y;m ? jq the firing line in France, and unable ti vote, it would now be jist that congress pass an enabling act to allow another voto on the q.' tion. f The prohibition forces realize 11. c if lilu:es of vote is allowed and are presenting a united front in oppositio-t referendum which. congress is being asked to alio;.

Out of a total of 435 members in the lower hou.i of congrcr.s are told that 155 are for a referendum, 96 are again t it and 18' are noncommittal.

This Is Your Chance u j VAPO-SEA- i) ' -- B f1 hfa J f e ; HERBERT HOOVER OR CALVIN COOLIDGE Ruth Hanna McCormick, former congresswoman from Illinois and daughter of the former Mark Hanna, declares that President Hoover is 'not a popular leader," and suggests popular discussion of the sub ject. Possibly Herbert Hoover has had more to contend with outside of war periods, than any other president. Financial distress has resulted under his administration such as no other president has had to contend with. Had Al Smith been elected it would have been the same. He is the only ruler in the world who has been personally blamed lor tne depression. While we have not approved everything President Hoover has done, he has been brave in his undertaking and is to be admired. He has been thru a crisis and the people generally are against the government, as proven by the last congressional election. There is a growing feeling that he may not defeat Franklin D. Roosevelt if he is nominated, but there is a strong feeling that if the republican national convention drafts Calvin Coolidge to again make the race that he can be elected.

Conflicting theories clash. But there is one way by which the problems can be settled by actual experience. In the state of Iowa, 159 towns which had municipal electric establishments have voted to receive service from private companies rather than continue the municipal ventures. One hundred fifteen of them have done this in the last ten years. These 159 towns had actual experience with municipal owner ship. They were not dealing with theories. Action was taken after The voters decided to abandon or long and extensive deliberation. sell their plants, not in order to give a private utility more business but because municipal ownership had caused either high rates, a low standard of service or both. Citizens of the towns have gone on record as sayincr that a vast improvement has been achieved since the private concern began its service. In addition, millions of dollars worth of taxable property has been added to the assessment rolls, from which now comes money to ftelp pay for schools, roads and the cost of government. The expen ence of Iowa constitutes a valuable factual document for considera tion. I g I .

Today the railroads are held under the strongest federal regulations, which allow those who have ro interest in their financial welfare to make their rules, under a guise of protecting the people. The taxes paid by the raihoatis go towards relieving the other taxpayers of the country, and the county which has no railroads finds itself under a heavy burden. Railroads are taxed for the building of surfaced and paved highways which the trucks use in competition and give a service which the railroads find it impossible to meet at the present time. It seems that cne of the most important issues congress and the state legislatures have to meet at the present time is legislation in protention of the railroads, whose enormous payrolls and tax pay ments means so much to those sections of the nation where they are operating. Congress has been working on this problem for the past severa years, but appears to be getting nowhere. 10-to- -l have in stock in an advertisement like we have left out what you are in need of right now m Genuine I' - To mention every item we ww ' & Co., THE NEW FEDERAL LOAN PLJ5N The new federal lending fund of two billion dollars will help the nation's finance rorporatiors out of a dilemma.
