position, particularly with refei-ence to possible contraband.
Federal officials may well lie allowed to bring into this
country without duty the things they may have purchased
abroad. ' It is a small means of giving additional compensa
tion to government servant to which the average citizen
would not object, but baggage should be subject to the
same examination rriiired for that of private travelers. We
see no reason why a congre:(sman should return from Canada
or Europe or Mexico with the knowledge that whatever his
luggage contains will m exempt from examination and regu
lation. The very fact that some of them take great pains to see
that their official immunity is recognized when passing!
through the customs indicates thry have something to con-!
ceal something they would not attempt to bring in as pri-!
vate citizens would tin with similar immunity use it to evade
the law as long as there is reasonable assurance they will not!
be CJtught in the act. In theory, perhapr,, il is taknn forj
granted that a government official will lie the first to obey j
the laws of tho irovcinmjnt ho rve.-: that he would never!
Le guilty of a conscious vinli'.'inn - f statute or regulation.;
But the law is taking entiiely too , i rh for granted, in our j
opinion, und obstruct the official r iri.i'!nce by placing sen-'
ous temptation in the way of thi -t win journey outside our
borders. Give freedom from the paymn.t of duty to officials!
as a gesture of government courtesy, if they wish, but subject 1
officials and private citizens alike to examination for contra
band. Federal employes should 1 required to obey these;
laws as strictly as others. It is not only un-American but
unfair to allow them such exemption.
