Chairman An- drew J. Volstead of the judiciary com- mittee that framed fHe prohibition en- forcement law declares he is opposed to such a move. The “wet" forces in the House, under the lead of Representative James A. Gallivan of Massachusetts, are waiting for some such spii in the majority ranks to stage another fight in the House over prohibition. Mr. Wood said he believed his meas- ure would remedy non-enforcement con- ditions. He recalled that he said on the floor of the House last session that he would take such a step if Representa- tive Volstead did not do o, on the ground that the enforcement machinery establiched by the Volstead act had fallen down hopelessly. “Some of those who want prohibition enforcement transferred to the Depart- ment of Justice don't want the law rig- idly enforced.” was Representative Vol- stead’s comment today.

Senator Stanfield to Introduce Bill Outlining New Plan. Senator Stanfleld of Oregon will in- troduce a bill within a short time providing a new plan of rederal aid for the highways of the country. The bill would have the present war tax of 5 per cent imposed upon motor vehicles and accessories turned into a federal highway fund. In this way approximately $150.000,000 would be available for good roads work in this country. Senator Stanfleld would ex- empt automobiles, trucks. etc., from further federal taxation, except in ""” matter of duties upon imports. This system, if adopted, it is con- tended, will form a permanent foun- dation upon which to base the con- struction of a national system of in- terstate highways in co-operation with the several states and 11 es- tablish a c nuous program limited only by the amount of revenue re- ceived from this source annually. —_— SEEK TARIFF CHANGES.
