Representative Sarlg laid the pub' lie service commission situation at the door of the party in power, pointing out that member of the commission was appointed by a Republican governor, and confirmed by a Republican aenate.

Fears Political Power "The same: political powers that now elect governors," he said, "would also elect members of the fair rate board.

"The real issue of prohibition as we see it," said Sarig, "is the fate of the government itself. In trying to enforce this sumptuary law, the government has itself become enmeshed in a long train of evils, such as graft, corruption, deception, hypocrisy and downright dishonesty of every kind.

The evils which now beset our government are even greater than the evils which we set out to abolish Bootlegging and liquor scan dals flourish right under the nose of the president himself With the government suspected, accused and found guilty of a long train of evils, the faith of the people has been severely shaken and the result Is a wave of lawlessness such' as we have never known before."
