Plans Evolved Many Days Ago
Washington on June 16 President Roosevelt began months ago excavations for his new business structure and the finer enactment of his program found him with foundations laid and a framework steadily rising. He named Hugh B Johnson administrator of the new administration’s control program after signing the bill into law. Many industries have outlined tentative codes of procedure under the measure through conferences with Johnson, though none have been approved. The public works budget totals 85.9 million dollars, with plans for 400 million in highway construction 225 million in a three year naval program and 26 million for public buildings within 45 days. Municipal county and state projects are surveyed and millions are expected to go to work by fall. The bill to raise Taos prices has been on the statute books for a little over a month as details of processing taxes on cotton and wheat are worked out. Further conferences have been held with dairy representatives.

Van A. Bittner, once a strict prohibitionist and head of United Mine Workers of America in the state, calls for a repeal and for temperance at home. He argues the amendment harms local government, fosters graft, harms enforcement, and makes people hypocrites while major bodies like the AFL favor repeal.
