ANALYSIS OF HOUSE VOTE ! INDICATES CERTAIN DOOM FOR DRY AMENDMENT Only Twelve States in Arid Column, Using Ballot on Motion as Strength Index; Lame Ducks Are Factor. BY WALKER STONE Timr Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The eighteenth amendment will be repealed if Monday's 289 to 121 vote in the house can be taken as an index of sentiment in the forty-eight states. Twelve states are dry, on the basis of the vote. Twelve is one less than the number necessary to block repeal.

Yet, more amazing and more to the point, analysis of the vote reveals that the dry strength mostly was lame duck strength. Only six states are dry—if you scratch the lame ducks off the roll call, and count only congressmen who were re-elected. Monday’s roll call lists on the dry side Delaware, Idaho, Kansas and Maine-—by unanimous vote —and Colorado, lowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia—by a majority vote. Six Dry Without Lame Ducks But eliminate the lame ducks from the count, and you have left on the dry side only Kansas, Maine, lowa, Mississippi, Nebraska and Oklahoma. If you go a step farther, and consider the known views of the successors of the lame ducks, Maine and lowa must be taken out of the dry column—leaving only four dry states. In addition to carrying twelve states, the drys Monday managed to record a tie in six—Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Tennessee, 1 Utah and Vermont. But with the lame ducks crossed off, the vote for the above-named states stands: Delaware, 0-0; Idaho, 0-0; Kansas, 5-0 against repeal; Maine, 1-0 against: Colorado, 1-0 for repeal; lowa, 5-1 against; Mississippi, 4-1 against; Nebraska, 3-1 against; Oklahoma, 5-2 against; North Dakota, 1-0 for; South Dakota, 0-0; West Virginia, 1-0 for; Montana, 0-0; New Hampshire, 1-0 for; Oregon, 1-4 for; Tennessee, 5-3 for; Utah, 0-0, and Vermont, 1-0 for. Many Resubmission Votes The repeal vote was unanimous among the representatives of twelve states—Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Virginia and Wyoming; and the wets were safely in the majority, despite lame duck drys, in eighteen other states- -Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. However, no hard and fast conclusions can be drawn from the above analysis. A great many of Monday's repeal votes were resubmission votes. Others in Doubtful Column Any dispassionate survey of the probable action of the states on ratification of the repealer must list in the doubtful column such traditionally dry commonwealths as Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas, Noith Carolina and Virginia. The repeal votes Monday were many as the no-repeal vote*!. Os the 289 who voted "eye” sixty are lame ducks, but nearly all will be succeeded by wets. Os the 121 who voted "no,” fifty-seven are ,ame j ducks, and mast of them will be succeeded by wets.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MERCHANTS OF STATE ATTACK ! CZARISTIC RULE Caucus Method of Jamming Sales Tax Through Hotiy Assailed. Lashing at autocratic control of the legislature by the causus meth- ’ od, and threatening a tax strike by merchants, a group representing various business and industrial firms of the state, today made a last minute futile protest against the administration’s sales tax program. The meeting was called by John F. Frederick, state Cnamber of Commerce president, to demand a hearing on the bill, but this was found impossible, as the bill was in caucus at the time of the meeting. Those attending the protest session immediately, upon adjournment, left for the statehouse to file objections with their county representatives and demand that they ignore the autocratic caucus rule. A committee was named to call on the Governor with demand the sales tax bill be killed. The group adopted a resolution bitterly opposing passage of the sales tax bill and demanding real and tangible tax relief by means of governmentaal economy and not by j substituting new taxes. The resolution ctfhrges that the ' sales tax would force additional

firms into bankruptcy, add to unempolyment, reduce purchasing power and otherwise disrupt the economic situation of the state. A resolution threatening a tax strike by merchants and industry in general was discussed, but not adopted. "If the people who pay the taxes in this state would threaten a tax strike,” said Fred Wiedman. South Bend merchant, "that might register with the administration.” "It is business and industry’ that is paying taxes now—not the farmi er,” added J. Irving Latz, Ft. Wayne merchant. Definite opposition to the proj posed state school aid bill also was voiced, speakers denouncing it as unfair and responsible for sales tax proposals. Criticism of the administration | for "forgetting its campaign promises of home rule” was voiced by ' Joe Rand Beckett, former state senator from Marion county. ‘ We can't do anything about local governmental costs as long as the ! power to regulate local expenditures j ; is concentrated in Indianapolis,” he ' “The legislature is closer to the j people than the administration. Senators and representatives have a better opportunity to know what their constituents wish and need than the administration. "We must demand of our legislators that we have the right to express our views to them and that they observe the wishes of the people and not be bound by the administration’s caucus method of taking the power of the people into its own hands.

Colds are increasing. In some sections Influenza is breaking out. Don’t be alarmed, but don’t be careless. A cold is much easier avoided than cured!

This will keep the bowels open and combat infection by cold germs. Millions know Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine as an excellent cold remedy, but not enough know it as an equally excellent preventive.

TAX BILLS GET HOUSE STAMP OF APPROVAL * Special Levies Provided on Building and Loan, Bank Stock, Intangibles. With the McNutt administration prepared to rush its general tax bills through the legislature today, the house, before going into a caucus on the measure, adopted favorable committee reports on three special levy bills. The three bills provide: Tax of 25 cents annually on each share of building and loan j stock. Tax of the same amount on each SIOO of ba;deposits and bank stocks. Same tax on each SIOO valuation of intangibles. Committee on elections reported favorably a bill to establish an absentee voter system for Indiana, and the report was adopted. Bill fixing penalties for distribution of anonymous slates in political campaigns was killed on an election committee report and a bill requiring payment of a $lO fee bycandidates in primaries shared the 'same fate.
