When Hiram Maxim took up his pen to give the public his views on the question of prohibition en- forcement, he startled a controversy that is still go- ing in the newspapers of the country. Many of the writers agree with him entirely, some of them par- tially, while the radical, uncompromising anti-saloon type find no good in anything that he has said. As a fair sample of the fair and liberal minded writers, those who take a reasonable view of the situation the subjoined article from an ordinary citizen is given, because it. reflects the average mind: B “I am not prepared to say that 99 per cent or any given percentage of our population of i10,000,000 are opposed to or in favor of national prohibition. No one knows, but many will guess. A large percentage have always been opposed to saloons, but they re- mained as the ‘poor man’s clubhouse.’ I believe’ the consensus of opinion would be that they are better closed. “A small, well organized minority in Washington or at any state capital can pass any legislation. I should say that 90 per cent of the people are unor- ganized as regards anything. They are too busy chas- ing the almighty’ dollar to care about anything. ‘What's everybody’s business is nobody’s business.’ ‘Let George do it,’ is their creed. “In the last thirty-five yeats*P have seen prohibition and local option throughout the United States and Canada, and there never was any trouble in getting all the spirits, wines and beer that one wanted, either openly or otherwise, and ‘legislature cities’ were the pele al ea ‘And Aunt Martha in her crinoline wedding dress] destruction into a pioneer of closer re- Pretty?’ lations between the two nations they “Earl bites his hat in ectasy.

In the 1920 New York state legislature the ,mayor of Toronto was. brought to tell the legislators what a splendid success it had been there and” his statement was that fines for infraction of the law had exceeded the city’s license fees from hotels, restau- rants and saloons. Even W. J. Bryan had to laugh at this statement. “As to the effect of national prohibition I can only speak of what I see and know, and that is there is no trouble at all in getting all the genuine whisky and spirits by bottle or case that one wants is he pays‘the price; that decent beer and genuine light wines it is almost impossible to buy, as they are too, bulky; but one can buy adulterated wines; that the moneyed mid- dle classes, men and women, are drinking more whisky and gin per capita than they ever did; that pre-prohi- bition non-drinkers are now drinking genuine whisky and gin; that such is not done in public dining rooms, but in private, and that restaurants and hotels are suffering a loss of luncheon, dining and supper pa- tronage as a result; that ihe whole subject of conver- sation between men and women is ‘booze’—‘Did you bring any booze?’—and that genuine whisky and gin are being toted about everywhere. As for those who haven't got the price for the genuine article, I am satisfied from what I see on the streets and from what I know that deadly adulterants are being drunk. ‘ “T am satisfied that if a special secret vote were taken in New York City 75 per cent and possibly 90 per cent of adults would vote against prohibition, and that a large majority in other industrial cities would do likewise, but possibly the percentage/ would be smaller. “I am also satisfied that the Eighteenth Federal amendment won’t be repealed; not because it could not by a special secret vote. The Volstead act. is bound to be amended sooner or later, and probably sooner, “While I must admit that the closing of the saloons has been beneficial to the ‘workers’’ families, I am satisfied that national or even world-wide prohibi- tion is, and must always be, a ‘fake.’ All nations and all peoples in all ages have ‘drunk’ moderately or oth- erwise, and they always will, notwithstanding thé few, genuine and fake prohibitionists ‘that claim other- wise.” eS Le NEED OF REFORM. The slowness and the delays of the courts in deliv- ering justice and punishment are the present outstand- ing handicaps to the satisfactory administration of IMPORTANT-RULING MADE THE PRINCIPAL PROVISIONS. The more important features of the féderal’ tax Bill now before the senate finance committee, haying passed the house, follow: . * ‘ The meastire’ reduces taxes upon the people to an amount approximating $221,000,000 a year, while] BY ATTORNEY. GENERAL & 4 providing comfortably for all required revenue from| ON INDIAN PURCHASES this source. ‘It is accomplished by: ore + a (1) Reducing the faxes of all heads‘of families who |” have incomes of $5,000 or under, by increasing the ex- emption limit from $2,000 to $2,500, and exemptions for dependents, from $200 each to $400 each. This applies to incomes of this year, beginning January 1; last. : (2) Repeals all “nuisance taxes” on soda fountain drinks, ice cream and other beverages, perfumes, cos- metics, toilet articles and propriétary (patent) medi- cines. (8) Repeals the 10 per cent tax on “everyday” sporting goods, such as baseball, football, basketball and skating equipment and goods of all kinds; reduces from 10 per cent to 5 per cent the taxes on “luxury” sporting goods, such as golf, polo and tennis goods. (4) Exempts from income tax the first $500 income from investments in building and loan associations. (5) Repeals the so-called “luxury” taxes now charged by retailers upon all classes of goods above certain values. On January 1, 1922, it removes an additional bur- den of $512,000,000 from the backs of American tax- payers, by repealing taxes as follows: (1) All transportation taxes, on freight and pas- sengers, on railroad tickets, sleeping car tickets and chair tickets. (2) All income surtaxes from 32 per cent. to 65 per cent inclusive. (3) All excess profit taxes. A careful ‘analysis of the bill shows that it is pro- posec to raise $1,800,000,000 from the wealthiest tax- payers of the country, comprising approximately 500,- 000 peeple; $1,200,000 from the comfortably fixed, numbering about 4,000,000. The $5,000 family has an exemption of $2,500 and $400 for each depend- ent; and the $2,500 family is wholly exempt. The measure is considered a fair and equitable one under all the circumstances the government and the people are called upon to face. The war indebtedness must be paid and the govern- ment must be supported in manner befitting. It is the peoples’ government and they must pay the bill. There is much evidence of economy seen in the con- duct of the several departments already, and the budget system now functioning under Mr. Dawes, will be a great aid in further reducing ordinary expenses, THE BIGGEST FUR DISPLAY Ever Held in the State for THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY ONLY (Special to The Tribune) ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Attorney General Daugherty has just rendered an opinion that white purchasers of Indien lands on the Wind, River res- ervation who have pald the estimated irrigation construction ‘cost as part of Kent purchase price are not liable for rther payment «of cons! 3 i truction This decision grew out of an’ at- tempt of the Indian office to make white purchasers of Indian lands to pay per acre the estimated cost of Indian irrigation. Congressman Mon- dell protested that such a demand was not legal or equitable and asked that the question be submhtnd to the attorney general for decision. The attorney general holds that to now collect from these purchasers the approximate cost of construction would be in direct violation of the terms of their purchases and would be in effect a double payment. ee LOST—One black pony, weight 600 pounds; shod on front feet, wearing leather halter. Return to T. P. Mc Guire, Thirteenth and Sullivan streets and receive reward. the judicial branch of the government. Procrastina- tion induces crime and encourages criminals. Delays are in a sense victories. They remove the commis- sion of the act just so much farther from the trial and punishment. The evidence becomes less reliable, seenes and incidents less vivid in the minds of wit- nesses. Justice is less alert and its demands are weakened. Tf of later years there has appeared to be a grow- ing disrespect for courts it can be blamed more upon the delays and postponements than upon the final de- cisions. It was not many years ago that'a demand arose for a récall of judicial decisions. No less a citi- zen than Theodore Roosevelt championed the proposal; but he, like many others, had not lost faith in the courts but was disappointed in the practices that had grown up with the years and sought a short cut to remedy some of them. The law profession itself recognized the necessity for reforms in many directions, and associations and leading members ere growing more and more insistent. Much fault lies with congress and the legislatures of states. They are constantly adopting statutes upon every conceivable subject. We are legislated to death and the books are cumbered with useless laws, con- demned by public opinion and impossible of ‘enforce- ment.

The Dowell-Phipps bill which is the amendment to the federal good roads bill has passed both branches of congress and is now in conference. Its provisions are familiar to most persons interested in the build- ing of roads. Among other things there is provision for maintenance, as suggested by the president and which has cOme to be regarded as a chief necessity in local experience. It also contains the feature of increased percentage of the publi¢fund to public land states where great stretches of the highways pass through public land. The total appropriation has been cut from the original figure of one bundred million to seventy-five million. The measure reached the conference too late for action before adjournment and will likely be one of the matters for early adjustment on the re-convening of. congress. If Wyoming people have any views on the amend- ments, it would be well to express them to the Wyo- mjng members of congress, in order that they may be brought to ‘the attention of the conference members| before final action is taken.
