PANAMA CANAL
IN NEED OF 1
PANAMA, R. P.—The news that ef
forts are being made to have national
prohibition a predominant policy of
the democratic party is arousing con
siderable interest on the isthmus,
where the liquor problem is much in
evidence. The celerity with which the
canal zone restricted liquor traffic
soon after President Wilson’s lirst
election was a prominent incident in
the history of the Panama canal. Pre
vious to that time, not only Panama
and Colon in the republic of Panama,
but the Canal Zone under the United
States government were “wide open."
Saloons were licensed in all the towns
on the zone and they did a flourishing
business. This condition obtained for
the eight years from 1904 to 1912, but
soon after the election of 1912 the ca
nal government canceled the zone li- I
censes and put prohibition into effect.
This was probably the first instance
where the national government en
acted prohibition anywhere.
So far as the isthmian liquor prob
lem was concerned, there was not
much substantial change effected by
this legislation. Under the expropri
ation and depopulation policy inaugur
ated on the zone, and after most of
the towns were abandoned when Ga
tun lake flooded the area occupied by
them, the American population was
largely concentrated into the Ameri
can cities of Balboa, Ancon and Cris-1
tobal, at the canal terminals and im- }
mediately adjoining Panama city and j
Colon. These new American cities ad- i
join the Panamanian; streets are the i
dividing lines. There is a Panamanian '
saloon within less than a hundred !
yards of the Ancon (American) post-'
office.
i no liquor proniem is still a very
live one on the isthmus, although the |
Canal Zone is as dry as a bone. The :
10,000 American soldiers and the 3,
000 American employes can get all
they want without much trouble. |
There are also plenty of retail sa- I
loons in Colon and Panama. With a
population of about 80,000, those ci
ties boast hardly fewer than a thou
sand “cantinas,” large and small.
Drunkenness is common. It is the
cause of most of the police troubles,
and of the riots betwen the races and
nationalities.
The concomitants of the trade are
here, too. There are extensive and
wide open redlight districts in both
cities. Of course these conditions are
all under control of the Panama gov
ernment. Hut a big revenue is deriv
ed from licenses. In fact, this l-eve- !
nue is a definie part of the parasitical ;
system by which Panama has manag
ed to live on the canal. The absence
of roads and of agriculture and other
business here has made Panama de
pendent upon the droppings from the
canal to a great degree. Of course
the loss of revenue by enacting pro
hibition here, both to the government
and to indivduals, would be heavy;
but if the United States government
would help in building roads, so as to
open up the country and to promote
better investments, and more solid
business, the country would be decid
edly better off. There are many Amer
icans on the isthmus who greatly de
plore these conditions here, but they
have been almost powerless to remedy
them. Any movement in the states,
or any interest in the matter in Wash
ington would be hailed by them with
the greatest pleasure.

ELECTION BILL
COMPLETE; BUS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—Campaign
contributions to a national political
committee would be limited to 1%
cents per capita of the total popula
tion of the United States in the re
vised corrupt practices bill completed
tonight by a senate election’s subcom
mittee to be referred to the full com
mittee tomorrow and placed before the
senate Wednesday.
The per capita basis would limit to
tal contributions to any national com
mittee, in a presidential campaign to
approximately $1,500,000; no individ
ual would be permitted to contribute
more than $5,000 and contributions by
corporations to any campaign fund
would be prohibited.
Belting Made Felony.
Another provision would prohibit
contributions to a national committee
within ten days of a general election
and require a complete report of con
tributions and disbursements to be
filed with the clerk of the house of
representatives ten days before elec
tion. Election betting and advertising
of betting odds would be made a fel
ony.
Newspapers or periodicals charg
ing for political advertising in excess
of normal commercial advertising
rates, or refusing nonlibelous political
advertisements offered at such rates,
when it opens its columns to other
politcal advertising, would be denied
the use of the mails for 30 days.
Further, the measure provides that
no publication shall print gratuitous
ly any politcal matter during a cam
paign, except that written by its own
employes, unless the matter is signed
by the real name of the author, and
no political advertising matter intend
ed to influence an election shall he
published unless marked as “paid ad
vertising matter,” with the name of
the candidate or committee presenting
it attached. Financial contributions
to state and county political commit
tees also would be United on a per
capita population basis.
State committees would be restrict
ed to 5 cents per capita up to the first
500,000 inhabitants; 3 cents up to the
second 500,000, and 2 cents per cap
ita over the first 1,000,000. County
committees would be limited to 3
cents were capita for the first 25,000, 2
cents per capita in excess of 25,000 to
100,000, and 1 cent above 100,000.
Candidates for United States sena
tor and representatives-at-large would
be limited to campaign expenditures
of $5,000 each in states of less than
one million population and not to ex
ceed two mills additional for each in
habitant in excess of one million.
District candidates for the house of
representatives would be limited to an
expenditure of $2,500 in all cases. Sen
atorial and congressional candidates,
however, would not be required to ac
count for personal expenses, which
would include traveling, hotel, post
age, stationery, telegraph and tele
phone charges.
Limits Placed on Funds.
The bill would limit all personal
contributions to a congressional or
senatorial campaign to $100 and all
other individual political contributions
to anything but a recognized political
committee to $50.
It would be unlawful for a candidate
to make promises of appointment to
political office.
Transmission of state political funds
from one state to another would be
limited to $1,000 for each senator, and
representatives and members of con
gress would be prohibited from so
liciting campaign funds. State com
mittees could contribute to national
committees provided the contributions
did not swell the national fund above
the legal limitation.
The purposes for which disburse
ments of campaign funds may be
made as set forth by the bill include
traveling expenses of candidates,
speakers, members of politcal com
mittees and their assistants, fees for
entering candidates on the ballot,
clerk hire, telephone, telegraph, post
age, freight and express charges,
printing and stationery, office rent
and public advertising.

AT THE EMPRESS.
Betty Nansen, The Famous European
Actress, In “The Celebrated Scan
dal,” The Drama That Stirred
Two Continents.
Betty Nansen, the great tragedi
enne, celebrated for her artistic
chievements in the Royal theatres of
the capitals of Europe where her art
has been acclaimed with the same de
gree of popular enthusiasm as the
preferences of Bernhardt and Duse,
where Royalty has erected theatres j
and monuments for her, where she is
worshipped by the masses as the Thes
pians were by the Greeks, where even
the poorest paid dollars for only an
opportnuity to look at her—will be the
feature at the Empress theatre this
Tuesday and Wednesday, January 23
and 24, in a gripping modern drama
entitled “The Celebrated Scandal.”
Miss Nansen, as a much-maligned
and scandal-scarred wife, creates a
character in the compelling drama
fulness and repressed emotional charm
that is unsurpassed in its tragic force
by the historic Shakespearean heroine
Desdemona. This character offers
Miss Nansen a splendid opportunity
for the display of her scintillating
pantomimic skill. She ascends dizzy
dramatic heights overwhelmingly and
like the star of Venus sheds a lumin
ous lustre of unparalleled magnifi
cence.
Walter Hitchcock, who plays “Don j
Severo,” in “The Celebrated Scandal,” j
brings to this important part skill in j
delineation born of long experience as
prominent leading man. Other celeb
rities of equal ability support Miss
Nansen in this modern play of intensi
ty and absorbing interest.
MOOSE ATTENTION.
Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, will
be the last meeting in Byrne’s hall.
After that we meet in our new quar
ters at the Labor Temple. A farewell
smoker will be given Wednesday eve
ning which each apd every loyal
Moose is requested to attend and is
invited to bring one friend. As the
lentertainment committee has promis
ed something good in the way of
sports every member should be there.
