‘"The argument-is-aleo: SATURDAY VEVENIIN:G, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PAGE SEVEN BRAZIL MAY FOLLOW DRY EXAMPLE OF THE UNITED STATES ’ Campaign Against Alcohol Is Launched by President of That Country H. B. Robertson. (United Press Correspondent.) Rio De Janeiro—(By Mail)—Bra- zil, following the example of the United States, may be the second American republic to adopt prohibi- tion. The campaign against alcohol was launched by President Epitacio Pes- soa in his last message to congres, and was immediately taken up with unexpected vigor by the majority of the press of the country. Alarmed by the .determined attacks of press and statesmen, the liquor interests are already raising the cry of ‘“‘per- sonal liberty”’ and the same campaign which resulted in a “dry” United States promises to be enacted to the bitter finish in Brazil. In his message President Pessoa cited the example of the United States in adopting a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufac- ture and sale of alcoholic drinks and| suggested to the Brazilian congress that the time has come for the legis-| lative body of Brazil to grapple with the problem. He indicated, however, that the extreme difficulty of ob- taining amendments to the Brazilian constitution made it more practical to tax the booze industry. President Pessoa’s suggestions for high taxation on the booze industry were supported by statements show- ing that one of the essential tasks of the present Brazilian congress is to find a way to increase the govern- ment’s revenues and to reduce its ex- penditures. “As the first step of carrying out the president’s suggestions Deputy Juvenal Lamartine has offered a bill in the chamber of deputies doubling the federal tax on beer and light wines and tripling the taxes omn liquors and other strong alcoholic drinks. It is reported that the bill has excellent chances of being voted into law. - In the campaign of propaganda against alcohol which has been inau- gurated in the press all of the argu- ments that were used in the United States, together with some new ones and other peculiar to local conditions are being expounded. The antis, for instance, are quot- ing statistics showing the infant mortality due to alcohol, liability to disease, insanity and crime because of the same scourage. In addition they are calling attention to the fact that the eight hour labor law is in force in practically all of Brazil and they are urging means of preventing the working classes from devoting their new found leisure hours to the attractions of.the:saloon. and tavern: ing-used that in general the Brazilians themselves are very moderate drinkers, but that excessive drinking prevails to a re- grettable extent in the huge foreign colonies domiciled here. It is argued that the most severe restrictions should be placed on al- cohol, if for no other reason than to enable the country to more easily handle the huge tide of immigration . which the signing of peace turned to- ward Brazil. It is declared that many ‘“undesirables,” who are .not content to emigrate to a ‘‘dry’”’ Unit- ed States, will seek the greater free- dom of South America and that therefore it is up to the government to be on its guard. In order that legitimate industry may not suffer the Lamartine bill | 18 advantageously placed. NEAT BLUE STREET cosTUME |NEW HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT FOR WINNIPEG (By United Press.) Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 14.—Active work on the construction of the new hydro-electric plant for the Winnipeg River Power Co., Ltd., on the Win- nipeg river, 14 miles north of Lac du Bonnet, Man., has begun. The design contemplates the ulti- mate installment of six units of 28,- 000 horse power each. The initial installment will be two units. The plant is being built by the Northern Construction company, for the pow- er company, which is a subsidiary of the Winnipeg Electric company. The power from the plant will be transmitted to Winnipeg over a 70- mile line with steel towers. A 65x255 foot steel and brick transformer sta- tion will be built at Winnipeg.

National Forest Policy for Roosevelt Memorial F THE people of the United States want to establish a memorial for all time in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, let them link his name with a nation- ‘wide movement to establish a national forest policy. This is the message to the g tristate forestry conference delivered at Indianapolis by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American For- estry association of Washington. Mr. Pack urged everyone to join the Amer- ican Forestry association in its cam- paign for a national forest policy. The’conference was practically of na- tional scope, for foresters, timberland owners, lumbermen and representa- tives of wood-using industries from many states were present, in addition to those of Indiana, Ohio and Tllinois. “I do not believe the human mind can devise a more suitable memorial to ‘Theodore Roosevelt than a movement which will look to preserving the forests of this country,” said Mr. Pack. *“Knowing the man, as it was my privilege to know him, I am positive that could the selection of a memorial be left to his choosing he would say ‘save the forests.’ As presi@ent he called the first con- ference of governors which took up the great questions of conserving our natural resources. He was our greatest exponent of the value of these resources and of the value to the nation of outdoor life. Call your findings the Roosevelt Memorial National Forestry Policy if you like the suggestion and you will have honored the man who did so much in pointing to the value | of our forests. In any event you will have done the greatest of services to posterity—you will have saved our greatest natural resource for that posterity.” Fire which damaged the hegdquarters of the American Forestry associa- tion in Washington will not seriously delay the activities of the association. The offices have been moved to another part of the Maryland building. The honor roll of memorial tree planting was saved, but some vecords of the assocfation were lost.

When things looked the blackest to France she kept right at it just the same. Whenever Germany put some- thing new over on her, France met it at every turn.
