If yoor business isn't good ? ADVERTISE EEK ? Special to The Franklin Times Washington, D. C., March 14. As the time (or the Presidential nominating conventions draws near er, the question of what the two great parties will do in their plat forms on the subject of Prohibition becomes a livelier topic of discus sion. All of the signs point to a declara tion by the Democrats in favor of a national referendum on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. But what that would amount to Is an other question. It would help get votes for the Democratic ticket among the "wets," beyond a doubt, but would it drive "dry" votes away| from the party? The argument of the Democratic leaders is that the states where Pro hibition has its principal strength are mostly "safe" Democratic states, in spite of the fact that Mr. Hoover carried most of them in 1928. They think that it was Alfred E. Smith's religion, rather than his wet pro clivities, that lost him the election, and that with a wet Protestant can-| didate the "Solid South" will votej Democratic regardless of the wet dry Issue. Their effort, therefore, must be to capture the doubtful states, and those, they contend, are mainly states where the wet senti ment is dominant. Any change In the Constitution must be ratified by threo-fourtha ot the States, whether by their legisla tures or by conventions specially called for the purpose. There are forty-eight states, therefore 36 of them would have to vote wet on the proposed referendum, if the Eigh teenth amendment is to be repealed. If thirteen states stand out against repeal. Prohibition remains the law! of the land. And that more than j thirteen states will never vote wet! is the belief of the men of both par-; ties who have given this subject the ' most thought. The proposed referendum, there*-] fore, it is pointed out, would be nothing but a vote-catching gesture, 1 -bat-no chance -that It would accom-i plish its pretended purpose. Mr. Hoover's wet friends ? and there are plenty of wets on the Re- J publican Bide of the political fence ? are urging him more strenuously than ever to come out for some sort ot modification or repeal of Prohibi tion. It is being urged upon him that the 145 members of Congress who signed a petition for a referen dum Include 79 Republicans as egalnst only 66 Democrats. The President's attitude Is understood to be that he must be shown a much greater demand from within his own party and from the nation at large before he will agree that Prohibi tion repeal has the overwhelming public support which any radical change In the Constitution ought to have to be really effective. The talk that "Prohibition is a failure," that the Prohibition laws cannot be enforced, Is regarded by the President, it Is reported, aa pre mature. His Intimate friends point out that one of his first aets on tak ing office was to ask Congress to give him greater power to enforce, or at tempt to enforce the Volstead law. He had been In office a year and a half before enforcement was finally turned over to the Department of Justice which Is organized for law enforcement, from v the Treasury, where its control had previously been. In the eighteen months since then, it took at least six months to weed out the deadwood and crooked sticks from the old prohibition en forcement unit and to build up a new personnel. So that the first serious, intelligent national attempt to enforcing prohibition has only had a year or so of experience, and - that, Mr. Hoover is said to believe, is too short a time for a fair test as to whether it can be done or not. It Is regarded as highly probable, therefore, that the Republican plat form, about which the candidate will have, naturally, a great deal to say, will stress precisely thttt -point ? that the Administration has begun an honest effort to enforce prohibition, that more time is needed to see whether it can really be done. And this Is probable, that the platform will promise If, after a reasonable test of the reorganized prohibition it becomes clearly apparent to ev erybody that the present provisions of the Constitution and laws are un workable, then the Republican*, if elected, will submit the question o ! repeal to the states in their regular | manner for Constitutional amend ments. ? ? ? ? ? ? The new revenue act, as reported to the House, takes notice of the ! fact that a lot of people make their | own "home-brew", by Including* a I tax of 35 cents a gallon on malt | syrups, of 40 per cent on grape con i centrates and on "wort," a source i of alcohol, of five cents a gallon. The most far-reaching angle of the 1 new tax bill, however, will be the sales tax. tentatively set at 2 1-4 per cent, which will cover every kind of manufactured goods except certain classes of foodstuffs, religious and educational articles and books," news papers and magazines, farm and gar den products, seeds and fertilizers. Every manufacturer doing as much as $20,000 of business a year will be required to pay the sales tax, which Is estimated to raise five hun dred million dollars a year in rev enue. There will be a restoration of the tax oq amusements, Increases In the income tax, taxes on tale graph. telephone and cable mesatgea, an Increase in the stock transfsr tax and a tax on lubricating oil, among other things, if the bill goes through 1 as drafted. This Woman Lost 64 Pounds of Fat Mrs. H. Price of Woodslde. L. I. writes: "A year ago I weighed 190 lb*. I started to take Kruschen and now I weigh ISO and never felt bet ter In my life and what's more, I look more like SO yrs. old than the mother of S children, one It and the other 18. Every one of my friends say it's marvelous the way I re duced." To lose fat SAFELY and HARM LESSLY, take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water lp the morning before breakfast ? don't miss a morning ? a bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle ? but don't take chances ? be sure It's Kruschen ? yonr health come* first ? get at any drugstore In America. If not joyfully satisfied after the first bot tle ? money back. NATIONAL POPPY CONTEST Memorial popples to be sold in North Carolina in May are now be ing made by the wives of men at Oteen. These service men are re ceiving very little or no compensa tion and in many instances this causes their wives to be Belt-support ing when they would otherwise be practically destitute. These wives and families come to the little vil lage of Oteen to be near their loved ones during their illness and often their last days ? can you blame them for wanting to be near? Before they are allowed to make the poples they are required to undergo a rigid phy sical examination and be declared free ? not only from tuberculosis but any other communicable disease. They are limited In the number they are allowed to make so that the work will last a longer period of time, thus giving a little Income for several months Instead of one or two. Miss Relnhardt, the nurse In charge of the clinic at Oteen, has la addition to her other duties, kind ly consented to supervise this work. The men In the hospital benefit greatly In knowing that their fami lies are able to do some work and help take care of themselves. The doctors say that peace of mind Is the greatest medicine a tubercular patient can have and so this project is highly satisfactory from two standpoints. Mrs. Hugn W. Perry, Department President, has recently visited the poppy makers at Oteen and report that eleven interested women and girls are now working at this task. The placing of early or ders will be most helpful to the workers and the Department. National Poppy Poster Contest In the interest of Increased poppy sales the National American Legion Auxiliary is conducting a poppy post er contest; the rules governing it are as follows: 1. There will be two prises of fered. One for the best poster from a student of a Junior or Senior High School, and the other prise for the best poster from a student of an Elementary school. 2. These contests are to be con ducted under the auspices of the American Legion Auxiliary and un der the supervision of the teachers of the school. 3. The winning posters from each Department are to be sent to National Headquarters where they will be competently Judged. 4. The contest will close May 16 th. 6. The prlxe for each .poster will be twenty-five dollars.
