Ancient "Booze" Giver Would
Instantly Be Outlawed,
PROHIBITION VERY REAL
National Dry Amendment Bristles
With "Tectli" for Making; Life
Miserable for Violators.
Sinbad, the sailor, freed himself
from the clutches of the Old Man of
the Sea by proffering: that whiskered
and withered ancient the fermented
juice of the grape. Were Sinbad to
repeat that strategem in America to
day instantly he would be "in bad"
with the rederal authorities for a vio
lation of the national prohibition
amendment, which went into active
effect at the stroke of mldnistht.
On and after today, aridity will be
the portion of all save those who
providently laid in stocks of liquor
before the ban and who keep the same
in their own homes for their own use
for the national prohibition amend
ment, sequel to- decades of strife for
a "dry" nation, has formidable teeth
in it wherewith to enforce its man
dates. "We will proceed at once under the
authority and instructions of the act,"
said J. S. Smith, federal prohibition
director for Oregon, "and will in all
probability make a number of arrests
today. The provisions of the law
permit the investigation of business
places where it is suspected that
liquor is being sold, without the legal
formality of a search warrant."
Prohibition IStk Amendment.
Ratified by two-thirds of the states
and by a. similar vote of congress, the
national prohibition amendment. 18th
amendment to the constitution, con
tains stringent provisions regarding
IS John Barleycorn. Kor example, it is
unlawful today and hereafter:
To carry liquor over any highway
or street.
To transport it in any vehicle.
To have it in one's place of busi
ness. To possess cider, grapejuice, etc.,
that ha3 been permitted to attain
more than one-half of 1 per cent of
alcohol.
To treat a friend in your place of
business with a nip of the forbidden
drink, or on the street, or anywhere,
save in your own home.
To manufacture, sell, barter or oth
erwise deal with liquor save under
the closely restrictive provisions of
the act admitting of its manufacture
and use for scientific and medical
purposes.
'The burden of proof changes with
the new federal law," said Mr. Smith,
in explanation of its operation.
"'Heretofore we had to prove that a
man sold liquor. Now when we find
liquor in any place of business the
presumption is that it is for sale or
being sold, and the burden of proof
shifts to the defendant.
Act Han "Teeth."
"The section of this act defining
nuisances is especially stringent, with
teeth in every paragraph. By the
provisions of this section any place
of business where liquor is kept can
be prosecuted. The act provides that
property used in the manufacture or
tjale of liquor shall be held by the
authorities and the owner of the
building be jointly liable with the
purveyor, unless It can be shown that
the owner had no knowledge of the
illegal practices.
"liquor may be kept in private
homes, providing it was procured in
a legal manner and before this act
went into -effect, and no steps will be
taken against possessors of liquor in
such cases unless evidence is received
that the home is being used for the
nalc of liquor. When we have evi
dence that liquor is being sold or
manufactured in any home we will

"The act also provides that any per
son who shall be injured In person ,
or property through the violations of
the new law shall have legal recourse
for recovery against the manufac
turer or purveyor of the liquor, or
against the owner of the property
where the liquor was eold or made.
By this provision the heirs of a man
who met death by accident due to
drunkenness could recover damages
for his death.
Officers Have Seizure Right.
"Federal officers have the right
to seize any boat, auto or dwelling
used in the transportation, sale or
manufacture of liquor, and the owner
must put up a bond of double the
value of the property pending the
trial and settlement of the case.
"All sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys,
circuit courts, and the legal ma
chinery of state, city and county,
tire made integral parts of the en
roreement facilities of the prohibi
tion amendment.
"Illustrating the preparations that
were made to evade the federal law,
when it should come into effect, is
the statement of a well-known Italian
of this city, who says that his coun
trymen shipped 109 carloads of wine
grapes into Portland last year. The
wine product of this amount of grapes
would total more than 250,000 gal
lons yet we are told that just a
little wine has been made for 'a sick
wife.' "
Penalties for violation of the na
tional prohibition act are, for the
first offense, by sale or manufacture.
not more than $1000 fine or prison
sentence not to exceed six months.
For the second offense the penalty is
not less than $200 fine nor more than
$2000, or imprisonment not less than
one month nor more than five years.
or both such fine and imprisonment.

JAMES J. HILL
rpHE successful farmer raises bigger crops and
cuts down costs by investment in labor-saving1
machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops encourage
new investment, more production and greater
prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends on the
growth of railroads the modern beasts of burden
that haul the crops to the world's markets.
The railroads like the farms increase their
output and cut down unit costs by the constant
investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do, the
railroads are able to attract new capital for
expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return will
insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic
congestion which invariably results in poorer
service at higher cost
National wealth can increase only as our rail
roads grow. (
Poor railroad service is dear at any price.
No growing country can long pay the price of
inadequate transportation facilities.
