were decidedly disappointed In his
handling of (he farmers' problem,
those Including Senator* Capper,

ing eight matters, as follows:

\ITET members of congress lost no

their favorite lines. On the lirst day
of the session a tot of hills and reso-
lutions were Introduced In the house
designed to repeal or weaken tin* pro-
hibition legislation, and others we.c
offered on sifoot-odlng day*. Of course
not one of these measures stands any
chance of being considered hy this
session.
Wisconsin’s lower house, obeying
the mandnte of the referendum, voted
to repeal the state prohibition net end
to wipe out the state prohibition com
mission, and hurried the measure on
to the senate. The hill takes the
Badger state out of prohibition en
fnreement, but leaves the matter op-
tional with munlclpnlltles. Cities and
villages cun adopt any regulatory or
prohibitory ordinances they see tit.
If they want to they can adopt the
abandoned state dry code ns their
