TRY TO INJECT WET-DRY ISSUE Liberals in House Hope to Force Vote on Light Wine and Beer By Laurence M. Benedict (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, May IS —(Special to , Daily Democrat) —Liberals in the house joined hands today in a vigorous campaign to inject the wet and dry issue into this fall's elections. x •; Their hope is to force a vote in the house. ,and perhaps also in the sen . ate on the proposition of legalizing light wines and 2.75 ercent beer, so that people over the country will know just where the 1922 edition of congressional candidates stand on “Volsteadism" and can ‘swat" accordingly. The fight for a wet-dry vote in the house will center around a biil introduced by representative Hill. Maryland, republican, giving each congressional district local option this fall on the manufacture of beer and wines, to be used only in homes and taxed at 20 cents a gallon. Petitions asking the house Ways and Means committee to conduct early hearings on the hill, and report to the house for a vote were put *4ti circulation among house members J xiay by Hill anti other "liberals.’’ * Lili said he was confident that from "fifty to 100 members tvould sign the petition and either number would be ; sufficient, ,in the case of any ordinary < legislation, to force not only committee consideration but action on the ■ ‘floor as well. Hill said he estimated on the basis ■»’of two billion gallons of beer produced .' in 1914 that the tax his bill would » Jput on beer would yield the govern- . hient $400,000„000 a year and that another 100,000.000 would be raised by the tax on wines.

COAL OPERATORS IN CONFERENCE Coal Operators Are Asked by Hoover Not to Gouge The Public (United PrrMa Service!. Washington. May 18 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Secretary of Commerce Hoover today galled upon the coal producers of the country not to take advantage of the coal strike to "gouge” th« public. In opening the conference of operators here Hoover said the government did not possess the power to regulate the disposal and price of coal, stating that any action along those lines must be voluntarily on the part of the operators. Those attending the conference operate non-union mines. “The questions for discussion here are measures to be taken to regulate distribution and prices, and to prevent speculation and undue competition in coal” Hoover said. "There is no law empowering the government to settle the question. You were called here to co-operate in this matter for the public good and for the good of the operators.” The government will assist in every way possible. Hoover said. "I am not laying down the law,' Hoover said as he gave the conference what he termed a rough outline of meeting the situation. He proposed the selection of a committee in each district to act as a clearing house for all orders coming into these districts. These orders would be allotted by the committees to insure a continuous supply to the industries. Hoover also suggested that the coal operators appoint a committee to sit in Washington to act as a super clearing house. He also suggested that the railroads appoint a committee of their own in Washington w f th authority to purchas and direct orders for railroad coal. Public utilities and steel concerns also were urged to organize committees in Washington for the same purpose. In that way practically all of the big consumers of coal would have direct contact with the operators.

CLASS DAY WAS OBSERVED TODAY Rain Kept Many People from Attending Annual Exercises Rain interfered with the annual class day exercises of the high school which were held in the gymnasium this morning, to the extent of' keeping many visitors away, but the students had a very enjoyable time.

Their president, Helen Kocher made a very good speech and then all the members of the class joined in giving stunts and singing class songs. Janies Downs, president of the Junior class, represented his class in oratory and gave a fine speech. The Juniors also "pulled” several clever stunts, in addition to singing their class songs. Much of the time was given over to the Seniors as this was mainly their day. Lawrence Linn, class president delivered a fine speech. The class history was read by Germaine Christen and the class prophecy by Veronica Anker. Margaret Moran read the class will. Stunts of the Seniors were characteristic of their four years in high school and were very good. They sang several class songs and gave their class yells.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1922

TELEPHONE STOCKHOLDERS The American Telephone and Telegraph Company has 201,000 stockholders on record, more than any other company in the world. It continues to beat its own record, adding to the list at the rate of approximately 3,069 monthly.. On December 31, 1921, there were 186.342 shareholders,, a.n increase of 46,894 for the year.. Average holding is 28 shares, the lowest on record, showing a broader distribution of its stock than ever before. In 1906 there were only 18,194 stockholders, with an average holding of 72 shares. At the present rate of increase it would not be surprising if at the end of 1922 the company had a quarter of a million holders on record. The above figures do not take into consideration the 100,000 employes who are paying off subscriptions to the stock. Most of these will be holders of record when payments are complete. •_ . Dr. L E.

MORE MONEY GIVES IMPETUS TO WORK AGAINST CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS An item in the appropriations bill recently passed by Congress providing 82,877,600 for the control and eradication of bovine tuberculosis during [the year beginning July 1, 1922, will give new impetus to the campaign [against this greatest live-stock scourge which has slackened of late in some states because of a lack of funds for paying indemnities. The law provides that >850,000 of the appropriation may be used for administration and operating expenses, and that the remainder. 82,027.600, may be used for paying the Federal Government's share of Indemnities for reacting cattle slaughtered according to the regulations of the United States Department of Agriculture. This is an increase of 8427.600 in the money that may be paid for indemnities directly to the farmers, but at the same time the funds for operating expenses such as salaries, traveling expenses, etc., have been reduced by 8128,800 A further qualification, providing that 8300,000 shall become available immediately on the signing of the act, will enable some states to resume the work without waiting for the beginning of the next fiscal year. Therefore a greater amount of money will be available for indemnities during the year following July 1 than was available last year, which, because of the more general adoption of the area plan of eradication, should make it the best year since the work was started The demands from live-stock owners for testing of cattle continues to increase, showing that the plan is practicable and the results desirable. In addition to the money provided by Congress, it is estmated that the various state will have a total of about 85.000.000 available for the payment of indemnities during the coming yeW. o
