C., FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1924 11 A strong plea for right living, right thinking and obedience to the pro- hibition law, by Odell Smith, chair- man of the public order committee, and Representative James Strong of Kansas, featured the meeting last night of the Washington Board of Trade at the Willard Hotel. Senator William B. McKinley of 1lllinois also made a brief address and four reports of committees were made and adbpted. Pointing to the increase in crime in Washington as well as the United States generally, Mr. Smith said that the only way to stop it was for the men of the nation to get behind all laws, obey them themselves and back up vigorous prosecution. “And we must obey the eighteenth amendment,” said Mr. Smith. “We have gotten past the point where we can afford to LY nk that it is ‘smart’ to drink ‘booze’; It is against the law and we must respect the law.” Proud of State's Dry Law. Mr. Strong #aid that he was proud of the fact thut Kansas was the first state in the Union to put prohibition Into_effect. “We have had prohibition in Kansas for forty years,” he sald, “and I am | proud that we gave the ldea to the nation. We now have the biggest job | re us, and that is to make the \' | people of the United States like it; {the people are going to like it and it | will be only a few years from now. | "“In the old days in order to swing a busingss deal it was necessa open up & bottle.

On top of that we constantly hear that Washington needs a new bridge or & new school and that nothing is satls- factory. “After we have been here a while, though, we begin to get a broader outlook. We come to look upon the beauties of the National Capitzl and gradually begin to take pride in it Then the old attitude of resentful- ness is forgotten and Washington and the upbuilding of it become mat- ters in which we are just as vitally interssted s you men of the Board of Trade.” Would Halt Tax Raise. Warning that “we will all go broke” if @ halt is not called on high taxes in the United States and on the manner of living in this country, Sen- ator McKinley gave an (nteresting talk on the “I am very fond of codfish,” the speaker said, “and back in_ the old days we used to buy a ‘hunk’ of cod- fish, keep it in the cellar and cut off what we wanted for the meal. In these days we buy codfish daintily done up in glass jars, and we have to pay for the jars, t0o, so that it is no | wonder that the cost is about & hun- dred per cent greater “If a man wanted to take his wife ‘out in the alr’ in the olden days, he | would buy a eecond-hand horse, buggy and harness for $140 or thereabouts Nowadays to do the same thing he must buy an automobile at about two | or three thousand dollars to accom- plish the same thing.
