ATTORNEYS SAY ■dry referendum PUN IS SOUND Issue Squarely Before Congress—No Constitutional Inhibition. Time* Washington Bureau, 1922 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, July I.—The question of nation-wide referendum on the Eighteenth amendment Is now squarely before congress gn the merits and cannot be ended In excuse of constitutional inhibition, its advocates here believe. This has been accomplished by presentation of a plan of referendum by Senator Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey, which is Indorsed as legal in every respect by Edward A. Alexander, New York attorney, and member of the law _ reform committee of the American Bar Association, and other eminent lawyers. Authority Cited Edwards’ plan is based on the fifth articles of the constitution which provides that Congress,' in proposing amendments to the constitut on, may designate whether ratiflci ton Rv the necessary three-fourths of |me States shall be by State legislature or State conventions. Presenting his proposal in the form of a Senate joint resolution, Edwards suggests amending the Constitution by repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and specifies that

this shall be valid when ratified by conventions of three-fourths of the States. Delegates to these conventions are to be elected in the various States on this issue alone. The States will decide on convention details, but the convention vote shall be cast as the majority of each convention determines. Conventions In 1928 • All conventions are to be held in 1928 prior to the day when members of the electoral college are selected, thus securing an expression from the people on prohibition befdre the presidential vote -is cast. Edwards says he will let his resolution lie on the table for the present, in order that it may be discussed fully in all parts of the country. He will call it up for action not later than the first session of the Seventieth Congress, which meets in December, 1927. It is doubtful whether all antiprohibition factions will unite in support of the Edwards plan. Another Scheme Senator Bruce of Maryland has a plan before Congress to amend the Eighteenth Amendment along the lines of the Quebec plan, and local option. This, he says, would retain any good that has come out of the long fight against liquor, and will, he believes, be far more beneficial to the country than complete wiping out of the Eighteenth Amendment. One other plan for a referendum has recently been proposed to Congress by Asembrfman Louis A. Cuvillier of New Tork. He proposes that Congress call a constitutional convention for proposing various amendments. The fifth article of the Constitution directs Congress to take this action, when Legislatures of’ two-thirds of the States request it. Twenty-eight State Legislatures have already approved the plan of a general convention, Cuvillier says. If this plan were followed new

BELT'TO SPEND snap on BRIDGEAT RIVER Extension Made Necessary by Change in Flood Prevention Plan. Lengthening and extension of trackage on the Belt Railroad bridge across White River, necessitated by changes in the river’s width under new flood prevention plans, will cost $1,000,000, P. J. Landers, Belt general manager, estimated today. Os this sum, the Belt would pay $600,000, the city $350,000 and Marion County $150,000, according to the present agreement. To Draft Plans Landers said the Belt engineers will draft plans for the rebuilding of the bridge over the channel, which will be widened from 300 feet, its present width, to a span of 650 feet. Four tracks will be provided in place of the two which now ' cross the bridge. However, Landers said an agreement must be reached definitely binding the city to leave the bridge in its present location without regard to change of administration or membershin of the board of works. A few days ago board members eliminated a proposed cut-off of a amendments might be added to the Constitution at the same time the Eighteenth was repealed, and those who are jealous of the growing Federal power fear it for this season.
