Vote Dry, Drink Wet, Says Edwards The senate resolution, introduced by Senator Edwards, Democrat, New le: who in a speech condemned ypocrisy of some of the repre- ntatives of the people who vote dry and drink wet,” calls on the treasury for copies of its correspondence on the alcohol denaturing question, particularly with Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti loon League. . Representative Celler, Democrat, New York, who declared in a speech! that both senators and representa- tives “drink, and drink to excess,” ned Representative Britten, Repub- lican, Mlinoig, in resolutions’ to pro- hibit’ the use of any poisonous adul- terant in alcohol. Representative Black, Democrat, New York, asked for treasury corre- spondence for information of state governors in proceeding against. “all poisons responsible” for alcohol deaths, while Representative @air- child, Repubticen,-oftthe same state, would have congress inform federai ee that “there is no such thing; ag legalized murder, official who'causes poi in denatured aleohol, his own responsibility and at his own risk.” Senator Shepard, Democrat, Texas, vaid the “lamentable doaths from in- dulgence in induatrial alcohol shows what can be expected from the use of alcohol” while Representative Blan- ton. Democrat, also of that state, declared it is now against the law “to drink the stuff.” EPWARDS RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY SENATE Washington, Jan, 4—(#)—The post- holiday outburat of prohibition agita- ion again overran both senate and house today, Within a few minutes after it con- vened, the senate adopted the resolu- tion of Senator Edwards, Democrat, New Jersey, calling upon Secretary Mellon for any correspondence be- tween the treasury and the Anti-Sa- loon League with respect to the poi- soning of industrial alcohol. At the same time, the house, amid loud applause, was listening to a speech in which Representative Un- derhill, Republican, Massachusetts, denied the statement of Representa- tive Celler, Democrat, New York, that congressmen “drink, and drink to ex- cess.” Debate Follows The. Edwards resolution went through the without discus- sion, but im iately afterward there was a burst of debate during which Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala- bama, took Senator Edwards to task for having mentioned in his’ speech yesterday the recent Alabama inci- dent involving the arrest of former Governor Brandon while on a hunting ey: The charge against Brandon later was dismissed. The Edwards solution calls, among other things, for copies of the laws under which the treasury had required the Sotseolag of industrial alcohol and Senator Sheppard, Demo- erat, Texas, a dry leader, protested, after adoption, against the language employed in the text of the measure. Industrial alcohol itself is said the Texan, and “you can't poi- son poison.” Blue Jackets to Be Duchess’ Maids uth, England, Jan, 4.)

Specific recommendations for changes in the state tax, ‘banking and highway laws were made by Governor A. G. Sor! 2 in his biennial message to the legislature today, The executive also appealed for changes in numerous other laws and the passage of new ones which he conceives | to be advisable. At the same time he asked that legislators take particular notice that the statute books already are glutted with obsolete laws and asked that every man who in- troduces a bill for a new law at the same time introduce a bill for the repeal of a law. Five — recommendations for appropriations are con- tained in the message: one for the support of the state hor- ticultural society, one for the state commission on uniform laws, one for a new building to be erected on the state cap- itol grounds, one for a secret service man and one for the support of the state safety council. Building Program Recom- mended titution of a Sollding pemprans stitution of a bu program’ to house state offices, sug- gesting three new buildings : : to be erected on the capitol ae in the next six years and finally a new capitol uilding. Having addressed the message to the members of the legislative assembly and the “stoclholders of the public serv- ice corporation, North Dakota,” the executive referred to himself as the chairman of the board of directors. He sug- gested that numerous occasions arise in which the “chair- man” has need for adequate and accurate information not available through the. regular channels and asked that an appropriation be made for the employment of a secret serv- ice agent for use by the executive in such cases. In other parts of the message the governor touched on such widely diversified subjects as a standard for certified seeds, labeling of foods, prison employment and housing, the sterilization of certain inmates of prisons and insane asy- lums, life imprisonment for first degree robbery, a life sen- tence for repeated criminal offenders, strict separation of eRe f “~~~ the work of the board of pardons PR ESIDENT and board of administration, proposed | closing of time for filline state «ol- | AL dier bonus claims, clarification of the | laws relating to the filling of vacan- cies in the United States senate, a state radio staticn, the condition’ of agriculture, the proposed Rooseyelt National Park and the Great Lekes- St. Lawrence tidewater project. | The governor also urged the legis- lature to get the work of passing _ appropriation bills off its hands ip’ — a inees aes red not so eof sider other bills anti! je appro} William Allen White, in Pub-| tion bills were passed. x ey The message also presents a lic Address, Compares | for Rogge ioaeet 3 in, ie state mill and elevator, Bank Coolidge and Al Smith | of North Dakota, state twine’ plant, pesdine department, hail, fire or} er ornado insurance departments an: New York, Jan. 4.—(#)—Presi-| the workmen's compensation depart- dential polities continued today to| ments’ averring that are working create somewhat of a stir. out splendidly.
