Ralph Horr, & new member from the West Coest, announced he had filed a repeal bill with the House clerk “In moving to repeal the Jones 5- and-10 law,” Horr said, “I have two main purposes in mind. The first is against the law itselfl. My second motive is to dissoclate our State of Washington from fanatical legislation “I cannot feel that the author of the Jones 5-and-10 law conceived and fostered this law of his own accord.

CAPPER OUTLINES PLANS FOR DISTRICT Senator, in Radio Address Urging Buyiag of Seals, Discusses Legislation. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate District Com- | mittee, in & radio address last night from Station WRC, assigned for a talk on the service of Christmas Seals in the care of tubercul us children, of- fered a program of legislation for Washington at the coming session of | Congress. | The Senator said in the course of his “friendly greeting to the good people of Washington” that on returning to this city from his home in Topeka he had been impressed with the progress made on the Federal building program and remarked that in respect to un- employment this city 1s “probably in a better psition than any other large city in the country.” Still, the condi- | tion here could be improved, he said, and he would welcome any program to_expedite Pederal or municipal con- struction work here. He also urged the greatest pssible speed on this work, so as to have the city look its best when the throngs of visitors come | here next year for the Bicentennial Exposition. Cites Lack of Representation. Commenting on the fact that citizens of Washington may feel a lack of in- terest in local affairs because they have no vote or representation in Con- gress, Benator Capper said he appre- ciated the fact and that they should have the vite. but. until granted, hé wanted to do what he could as chair- man of the District Committee to serve as a represestative of the people of Washington Further commenting on the legis- lative program pending before Congress, the Senator said that Washington needs laws to drive out the unscrupulous real estate operator and dishonest stock pro- nioter, who have robbed famiMes of their savings for worthless pieces of paper. He believed the bill drafted by Senator Blaine would help this bad sit- uation. He also advocated another bill to regulate the sale of firearms in Washington and to make it unhealthy for the gunman and criminal. Urges Traction Merger. | Republican members, | publicans D.

Next important after the nomination of Representative Garner of Texas as candidate for Speaker and Representa- tive Rainey of Illinois for floor leader in the Democratic caucus tomorrow night will be selection of Democratic members of the Ways and Means Com- mittee. For they will act as the party's Committee on Committees and tackle the intricate job of getting the members agreeably placed on the various stand- ing committees Other important matters to come be- fore the caucus are Liberalization of the rules, with program of changes to be presented by Representative Crisp of Georgia, former parliamentarian when his father was Speaker and who during the past year has been leading the fight for a real liberalization making action mandatory after discharge of a committee and with safeguards against all dilatory tactics. Bill-Steering Commitiee Sought. Proposal for creation of a legislative steering committee on party policy and procedure, recommended by such out- standing leaders as Representative Byrns of Tennessee, who becqmes chair- man of the Appropriations Committee; Representative Crisp and Representa- tive Willlam A. Ayres of Kansas, who will.lead the fight for the new com- mittee. This proposal is opposed by both Garner and Rainey. It will be decided amicably by majority vote, but the prospects are that it wili be defeated. Election of House officers, such as clerk, sergeant at arms, door keeper and postmaster. Possibly the creation of a patronage committee to weed out the innumerable applications for patronage positions. The numerical strength and party division on the Ways and Means Com- mittee will not be disturbed by the closeness of the party division in the House. The Ways and Means Com- mittee will have 15 Democratic and 10 this proportion standing in view of the fact that with many party policy matters coming up it is essential to have a safe working majority. Ways and Means Vacancles. On the Appropriations Committee there will be 21 Democrats and 14 Re- This is & ndn-political com- mittee and any change in this propor- {tion wculd give the majority party a two-to-one standing in subcommittees which handle the various appropriation | bille. This means there will be seven new Democrats to be elected to the Ways and Means Committee, since Repre- sentative Garner drops off to become Speaker, while Representative Rainey as floor leader wil continue on the com- mittee. There already is one existing vacancy caused by the election of Cor- dell Hull as Senator. There are many candidates, urged by their friends, for these seven new committee places. Representative Ayres is prominently mentioned and can have most any- thing he wants from his Democratic colleagues. He is a veieran member of | the Appropriations Committee. Among others from whom the seven probably will be chosen are Representa- tive Dickinson of Missouri, formerly a member of the Ways and Means Com- mittee; Representative Lewis of Mary- land, & former member. who for eight years was a member of the Tariff Com- mission; Representative McCormack of DECEMBER 4 begins, but also in order that the A propriations Committee may | and get started as soon as possible bn | the sppropriation ibills. f S BET | (POmE S LEADER APPEALS FORW.C.T.RALLY Four-Day Regional Confer- ence Opening Marked by | Wet Challenge. By the Associated Press . A call for “the real friends of pro- hibition” to rally against resubmission of the eighteenth amesndment to State conventions came today from Mrs. Ella A Boole, president of the Woman's Christian’ Temperance Union. Opening & four-day regional confer- nce of the organization, the first of 5 such meetings planned in prepara- tion for the next elections, she made her appeal on the eve of a session of | Congress in which there have been in- dications of a vote on prohibition, ‘We_earnestly hope the real friends of prohibitlon will vote against resub- | mission, for resubmission opens the way for repeal” she said | “Ratification would probably be long delayed and, though prohibition would remain in the Constitution, its future would be an unsettled question, its en- forcement hampered by uncertainty.” She said those who Iooked upon resub- mission as a path to' immediate repeal would be disappointed, since it would be necessary for each State Legislature to | call a convention. | ‘It would be necessaty for 36 States to ratify the repeal mmendment, she added, and failure to call a convention would be a refusal to ratify. “Many States would rfefuse to incur the expense of a State convention sim- ply for the purpose of refusing to Tatify,” she said. “Women who think, women who still look upon the home as the center for home life * * * organized and unor- ganized women, will tell us how to make local prohibition sentiment in the coming presidential election.” Then Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith of Des Moines, Towa, vice president. attacked “the liquor lobby in Washington” in a speech ‘which warned | "This is no time for either the Fed- eral Government, the administration or the leaders of either great party to take advice or leadership from the piti- ful inefficiency of Cook County (Chi- cago) or of the gigantic corruption of | Tammany Hall (New York).” More than 150 youthful representa- tives of the union presented President Hoover today with 1,045,089 total ab- stinence pledges gathered from every State. Collectively they were thanked by him after they had filed through his office. Mrs. Boole accompanied the visitors President Hoover posed for a picture with the group on the White House lawn, baring his head to rain. Im- mediately afterward secret service men opened a lane for him 2nd he went hurriedly back to his office Mrs. Hoover later received the wom- en and young girls of the delegation at the White House.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, December 4.—The Pinnish government last night | asked the Diet to authorize a referen- dum to determine whether prohibition | shall be continued, repealed outright, or modified to permit medium strength | wines and beer.

Increase in Crimes Cited. In addition to the prevalence of drunkenness, the government cited a considerable incfease in crimes of vio- lence, and declared intoxicants had played a large part in it A special criminal profession has come into being, utilizing the situation which prohibition opened up, the go: Gifts of ¥ | Q?

The ministry’s declaration averred the evils of prohibition had loomed larger than the benefits of increased sobriety brought about by the law in many parts of the country, Furthermore, the government de- clared, prohibition has had unfavorahle financial effects, causing a heavy tax burden to be laid on citizens living on legal incomes, while those living on the illegal sale of alcohol are free from taxation. Finland's financial position is such that it has become extremely difficult to balance income and expenditure, and sooner or later liquor taxation must be resorted to, the government statement said. Debate Brings Repeal. ‘The debate on the measure in the Diet was the signal for an intensive campaign by the opponents of prohibi- tion for outright repeal when the refer- endum is taken, probably December 29 and 30. The National Temperance Associ: tion, which is Pinland's central anti-prohi- bition organization, called a mass mee ing for Sunday to prepare for the ca paign and arrange committee: out the country Both the antagonists of prohibitic and its supporters took a pessimistic view of the situation tonight Certain anti-prohibition leaders said their position was weaker because they were without a large campaign fund comparable with that of the prohibi- tlonists. The prohibitionists, on the other hand, declared wet propaganda had gained such a head start recently hrougk { it might be difficult to counteract it in the short time remaining before the referendum.
