NUMBER 101 DOUBLE TWISTER IN KANSAS Republican Prophets line a Ripsnorting Campaign on Next Round PROHIBITION TO FORE Legislature's Refusal to Let State Vote with Natien Merely Delays Issue TOPEKA, April 1. -First a and foremost in the political speculations of several Kansas Republican leaders the past week has been a decidedly novel feature which promises to put the highest powered pep in the next campaign.

That feature, in the forecast of these Kansans, pictures two tornadoes twisting with high velocity across the otherwise placid landEscape of Kansas and coming together, just before election day, in one grand devastating whirl. One of the tornadoes so prophesied is around the question of Prohibition; the other about the farm relief measure of Franklin Roosevelt. The' recent legislature gave the first of these imagined tornadoes its initial revolution when it declined to submit to the voters of Kansas the repeal resolution handed down by Congress to the several states and to which all the states save Kansas, responded. Issue Merely Postponed legislature decided that Kansas should not express itself straight-out on this issue and when the legislature did so it unwittingly threw the Prohibition bodily into the next state campaign, and more particularly into those usually. obscure contests in which members of the state House of Representatives are chosen.

The state Senate is ver The state House of Representatives is to be elected anew in 1934. Inasmuch as the next opportunity for Kansas to express itself on repeal of the Eighteenth amendment can not come. barring a special session, until the next legislature meets and so provides in January 1935, it is inevitable that the Kansas Wets and Drys will make the views of House candidates on the liquor issue paramount. Kansas Drys and Wets 'It is conceivable that the Kansas Wets might support a candidate who, though Dry, declared for submittal of the repeal resolution, but it is pot at all likely that they will. The Kansas Wets, on the contrary, are apt to insist that the candidate who gets their support shall be Wet.

On the other side of that picture when the Kansas Drys find the (Continued on Page 3 column 3) TURN DOWN PLEA FOR WINNIE JUDD Arizona.

On the other hand, once the city is turned over to its known enemies, who are certain to operate it for their own selfish purposes, many blessings enjoyed today will 'be destroyed.

This is the record: Reduction in veterans' benefits, decreed $400,000,000. Cut in veterans' administration expenses, $50,000,000. Reduction of all federal salaries 15 per cent $120,000,000.

Consolidation of farm credit agencies $2,000,000. The additional $100,000,000 is considered a minimum estimate of the savings to be achieved by reorganization and consolidation of other federal agencies under the power already granted the president by congress. economies may be achieved later by still further reduction of departmental functions. THE EDITOR SPEAKING: It is not figurative to say that in the last and his first thirty days Franklin Roosevelt has cut quite a figure. His reductions, as given out at Washington last night, total $572,000,000.

If this is approved, the paper said, it will mean the merging of the present prohibition bureau, the bureau of narcotics and the bureau of industrial alcohol under Major Dalyrmple. plans, it, was. asserted, would have as their objective a more active, 'not a diminished war against narcotics. There is no present prospect, however, it added, that enforcement activities will be taken from the department of justice, but there was a likelihood that the developing importance of revenue collection with the legalization of beer and wines might lead to transfer of Dalrymple's bureau to the treasury, where prohibition functions originally centered.
