Nation Begins Adjustment
To New Order Of Things
After Quiet Celebration
Festivities Lack Fervor
Expected With Return
Of Liquor
CONTROL PLANS MADE
New Levies on Liquor to
Replace Various Taxes
Now in Force
WASHINGTON — (AP) — A
ndtion that had made federal pro
hibition just a repealed constitu
tional amendment worked hard
Tuesday to adjust itself to the new
order of things. ° ; . 5 i
- And, surprisingly to some, the 20
states whose: laws. permitted the
gale of hard liquer after Utah late
vesterday became the 36th state to
ratify repeal had comparatively
few citizens feeling the worse
for celebrations. Throughout the
country, the festivities seemed to
lack the fervor some had forecast.
In many cases, the supply was
scant; in several states, regulatory
set-ups had not been completed, so
the liquor suppliers were few. |
Future Aims. ;
There were, too, many indica
tions that a number of state offiw‘
cials expected to follow the lead
of President Roosevelt,, who, in
proclaiming repeal of the nearly 14
year old law, stated his future aims
in these words:
“The policy of the xove-rnmentl
will be to see to it that the social
and political evils that have exist
ed in the pre-prohibition era shall
not be reyived nor permitted again
to exist.”
He asked “especially that no
state shall by ‘law or otherwise at
thorize the return of the saloon
either in its old form or in some
modern guise” and said “the objec
tive we seek through a national
policy is the eduecation of every
citizen toward a greater temper
ance throughout the natiop.” ‘
The organization he was creat
ing toseffectuate that declared pol
icy plugged away on the hundreds
of probfems necessitated by rthe
repeal of a law which left no regu
latory statutes ‘in its place. The
recovery and agricultural acts with
their code provisions were being
used until congress could enact
necessary laws.
Little ceremony marked Wash
ington’s official promulgation of
repeal, President Roosevelt and
William Phillips, acting secretary
of state, simply signing the neces
sary proclamations. That’ by the
President was necessary to end, on‘
January and July 1, about $212,-
000,000 in various taxes which are
to be replaced by liquor levies.
The new levies will be decided
upon after joint hearings shortly
by the house ways and means and
senate finance committees.
Various Taxes.
Various liquor taxes and duties
have been proposed. The law now
call for payment of $1.19 on each
gallon of hard liquor. That will be
laised, to somewhere around $2.20
to $3. Individ\yzl rates for the
Numerous grades of other bever
ages will be charged.
_The repealed taxes were included
N the recovery act for re-employ
ment and relief financing. The act
ifipe(:ifiod that when the president
Prociair. 4 repeal, or that the fed
fral invc.ne exceeded expenditures,
;hv taxes should end on specified
ates.
Thus, on January 1, the federal
gasoline taX will be reduced from
ilfiz to 1 cent a gallon; the levy of

dividends will not apply to divi

Progress is being made by the

the question of the public market

commissioner’s meeting Tuesday
afternoon by Dr. A. M. Soule,
who with Clerk Tate Wright and
County Engineer Homer Nicholson

Statistics from other markets, as
well as of the department of Agri
culture and the College 'of Agri
culture, and figures from 51 sur
rounding counties have been pre
pared, and it is expected that a re
port will be ready in the near fu
ture.
Fire Chief E. F. Lester request
ed that, since the fire department
serves not only Athens but por
tiong of the county, the commis
sioners appropriate money to help
secure a new chief’s car. The pre
lsent automobile, he said, is an old
| one, and a new vehicle is needed.
The cost, after trading in the one
now in service, will be about S6OO.
On motion of Commissioner Stra
han, the matter was taken under
advisement, and carried forward.
Miss Moina Michael asked that
the matter of placing Elijah
,Clarke’s name on the Bi-Centennial
tablet at the Capitol be considered
again. She explained that the
Athens Woman's club, and both
state and local regents of the D.
A. R. were heartily in favor of the
move, and that it was a wonderful
opportunity for the county to hon
or the man after whom it is nam
ed. 'The request was denied.
' * Company Released )
As no word from Washington hag
been received concerning th€ sale
of the highway certificates and the
Public Works money, it was decid
ed to release the New Winder Lum
her company from their contract
for the Princeton school. When
definite information to proceed has
been received from Washington, the
Winder company will be given the
chance to accept or rejet the bid,
however. This was done due to
the rising scale of prices. Should
the company find that they can fill
the contract' as it now exists they
will have the opportunity to do so,
but they are.not bound to accept,
