Washington. June 19. ? A now I
rode of ethics tor member* of J
Congress may result from the rev- J
elation thai sdveral of the moat J
promlnet "dry champions" in the|
House and Stenate hare been on
?the payroll of the Anti-Saloon I
League as public speakers. I
Senator James Heed of Mia- 1
sourla, Democrat, who has been
Lconductlng the cross examination 1
of witnesses In thd Pennsylvania
primary contest finally steered the I
Inquiry to the point he has fori
months been seeking to establish,
namely that '"dry" organisation*
are engaged Ih a system of elec
tioneering which to his mind is as I
reprehensible as the urging of vot
ers by another group of organiza
tion which pays for Ita workers.
Having ? developed the fact that
the Pennsylvania campaign cosi
nearly J2.000.000 and that votes
: were obtained through paid I
I watchers, the Missouri Senator
now turns the spotlight on other
influences in the same election.
| namely the wet and dry side. He
knew that the "drys" would open
, up on the part played by the
"wets" and no doubt there will be
[exposures showlug whnt
I "wet" organisations did to help
I Representative Vare.
But the striking thing which
[Senator Iteod has uncovored and|
| on which there probably will be no
j parallel on the "wet" aid* is the
fart that members of Congress are]
j hired to make speeches for the
dry cause and are paid substantial
fees for so doing.
It has long been an unwritten
j rule In Washington that members
of Congress shall not have a pe
I c u n l u r y interest tn-any legislation I
pending before CongresB. Indeed,
this Is -carried so far that Wash- 1
|: Ington correspondents are not ev
en given the privileges of the
I press gallery if they happen to be
I: employed also by organisation*
|| seeking to Influence Congress to
adopt or kill pending legislation.
I' Not long ago Senator Wheeler of
'| Montana. Democrat, was Indicted
|l because It was alleged lie accepted
|!a fee for appearing as rounsel be
fore a Government department on
lj behalf of a constituent. He was
; subsequently acquitted on the
{'charge. So also In the case of n I
f member of the Tariff Commission
wha was disqualified by act Con
gress from sitting In Judgment on
a mailer of tariff duties on a com
I modify In which his family was
| Interested.
I Many members of Congress lec
I ture during the summer montli*.
Somo make speeches for pay dur
I lug the session of Congress. These
[are usually for Isolated organiza
tion. With the exception of the
I Antl-8sloon League no national
| organisation 1b hiring members of
i Congress to make speeches. If the
I manufacturers association or the
| steel trust or the International
^banking houses were to pay mem
I bers of Congress to make Speech - 1
I en aecrylng certain proposals
lj aimed at them and the Informa
tion were made public, the prac- 1
I life would cause a furore. Yet I
the Missouri Senator na* been try
I Ing for a long time to point out j
that the payment of mowy lo
; members of Congress by the Antl
I Saloon league presents an anal
ogous caae and that when dry
leaders who are on the Anti-Sa
loon I/oague payroll get up In
j Congress to champion the cause of 1
f dry legislation they are In a sen#* i
[interested parties.
1 This form of attack has been j
[ carried on by the wets for several
years but they have not until this
I session of Congress succewled In
focusing attention on the custom
Congress Itself csn discipline !t*
members, but It never hss taken !
offense at what has been generally
known, namely that speeches for ]
the dry cause were frequently paid j

ber of Congress from earning ad

?nKagei?+a| has vastly prevented
the enactment* of a law against i

Claiming Solvency
A decision to throw the To-!
foaceo Growers' Co-o|>erative
Association into a receiver
ship was announced by Judge
I. M. Meekins at noon today,
at the close of a hearing in1
Federal Court. Judge Meek-'
ins announced that he would
appoint three receivers, and
that he would name them
later in the day, after the re
quisite receivership order had
been drawn up by the plain-;
tiffs in the action.
In stating his decision. Judge
declared thai while ordi
narily a receivership was unsatis
factory In many ways, and that
while li wax lite duty of a court ot
etiulty lo urdef a receivership on
ly when It could not properly do
otherwise, he wan a little dlsap
pointed ovlr the course of event*
In the lam three months. In that
Ihe asportation |n little better
condition now than then, Judging
from the reports rendered.
Judge Meekins declared he was
a firm believer In the principle of
co-operation marketing, and that
he did not wish to do anything
that might unintentionally throt
tle It, but that In the lighl of Oli
ver Hand*' position, he felt the
condition of the Tobacco (irow
er* Association should lie looked
Into, and that that could not be ac
complished to advantage except
through a receivership.
The association and the Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank, of llal
tiniore. which financed its opera
tions largely, and which was made
a co-defendant In Ihe suit, fought
the receivership petition vigor
ously In the hearing. The asso
ciation was represented by Major
w T. Joyner, of Raleigh, and the
Halflmore banking Interests by I
I Whitehead, of that cltv. In op
posing ihe receivership. Mr
Whitehead argued ihm ihe a**o
elation was entirely solvent, ah dis
closed by n recent examination of
!u a?Q,rfl representative* of
the Federal Intermediate Credit
Hank; and that a receivership wag
uniiNMMry and Inadvisable.'
through the circumstance that It
might brhiK a Ions of millions of
dollars to grower members throw
ing much tobacco immediately- on
the market.
Mr. Whitehead stated that the
Danker* felt thpy were fully pro
tected by the Holvency of the mak
ers of notes representing largely
the asset* of the association, lie
offered the additional objection
that It would be difficult or per
haps Impossible for the association '
to obtain credit under a receiver
ship on the ground that the bnnks
could not lend money properly to
the court, whose agents the re
ceivers would be.
Judge Meekins discounted this
argument on the ground that. If
the association was solvent, the re
ceivership fthould prove no barrier i
to Its borrowing funds.
The dozen or more grower mem-'
J???rs of the association who had
borught the receivership action
were represented by Judge J
V "orlon. of Raleigh, and Ed- 1
ward Fluford. of Lawrenccvllle. '
