Byron
Purchasing of Liquor Legal
The United States supreme court hns held that the buy
er of bootleg liquor is not liable to prosecution under the
prohibition laws if the question of illegal transportation and
possession shall not be involved. This is in accordance with
the canons of St. Volstead, who especially eliminated the
purchase of illicit booze, because it would include within its
scope millions of persons sought to exclude.
It never was the intent of Congress to make the purchase
of liquor a crime under the 18th Amendment, for when it was
under consideration in the Senate, a motion to make the pur-chase-an
offense was lost by a vote of 60 to 4. And Senator
Sheppard of Texas, one of the authors of the prohibition
amendment now has a bill pending to make the purchaser
equally guilty with the seller which he must be to make the
law effective.. Any such provision however, would merely
increase the popular revolt and doom the entire dry hier
archy. The absurdity of the law was never better demonstrated
than by this decision. It is legal to buy contraband liquor,
but illegal to transport it or possess it. How can a person
buy it, without its having been transported, or having it in
possession after purchase? Its absurdity is further em
phasized by another decision entitling manufacturers using
liquor and alcohol in the preparation of tonics to continue
operation until their permits are cancelled for violation.
The recent decision authorizing the seizure of kegs, bot
tles, caps and other paraphernalia used in making home brew,
when displayed with the intent of encouraging the making
of illicit liquor, adds another ridiculous feature for who can
prove intent? All of these rulings curb the power of enforce
ment, much of which has been illegal and in violation of con
stitutional rights from the beginning.
Perhaps it may eventually dawn, in the light of the ex
perience of all history, in the minds of our statesmen that no
law can be enforced even by coersion without the consent of
the governed and that any law that breeds crime is a bad law
and should be repealed. If it is not, it will go the way of all
bad laws, and by being ignored become obsolete.
A Fake Magician.
Speaking of President Hoover's regime. Will Rogers re
marks: "We shouldn't elect a President, we should elect a
magician."
That is just what Mr. Hoover was represented to be
during the campaign. He .was the "superman", the "great
engineer", the "famed humanitarian", the creator of pros
erity and the abolishcr of poverty, and the white hope of a
new social order, where every cottage was to have its garage
and every hovel its radio.
One of the widely circulated literary productions of the
3928 campaign set forth Mr. Hoover's qualifications as fol
lows :
... an administrator . business man . . . engineer . . .
scientist . , . statesman . . authority on conservation and avia
tion, manufacturing and merchandizing . . agriculture and foreign
trade . . domestic commerce and international affairs . .
. . shipper '. . . bought and sold grain and meat . the
tips of his mental fingers . . . fighting grounds of export . . .
electrical development . . . water power . . .his memory Is a blue
print mapped with Inland waterways . . .his brain in overalls . . .
ft monster test tube . . . changing rubbish Into dividends. .
Etc. . , . etc etc.
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney
General crusaded about the country proclaiming from num
erous pulpits turned for the time being into politkal ros
trums: That amazing spiritual magnetism of our candidate (Herbert Hoover)
that great spiritual and patriotic leadership which brought about meat
less days will also bring to pass the day of cocktalllcss parties and boot
leggerless communities. He will show that prohibition can and will be
enforced.
Even the Salem Statesman had Mr. Hoover increasing
valley fruit yields, creating new markets and transforming
the Willamette in to a still water channel to the sea, while
the goldcii sunshine of perennial prosperity blanketed the
land.
The people certainly were assured of a miracle man in
the person of Herbert Hoover and now that realities have
proven that they were bunked again, that along with Hoover
wo have the materialization of all the calamities predicted
Under Al Smith, is it any wonder they feel resentment? But
they have only themselves to blame. "
Works Both Ways
It is a poor law that doesn't work both ways. The labor
tmions have been denouncing government by injunction for
many years it apparently never having occurred to them
that employes could utilize the injunction against the em
ployers as effectively ns the latter have been utilizing it.
The decision of the I'nited States supreme court in the
caso of railroad brotherhoods against the Texas and New Or
leans railroad, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific, upholds
the uso of injunctions by labor unions. It was directed
against "company unions," organized bv the railroads to op
pose the brotherhood.
The brotherhood secured an injunction to prevent the
railroad from intimidating its member or punishing them for
opposing the company union. The railroad while asserting
its neutrality, challenged the validity of that section of the
railroad labor act under which the injunction had been
granted, insisting that the courts had held that the legisla
tion while aimed to prevent strikes and promote efficient
operation, was not mandatory.
The case involved many points similar to those raised in
the famous "yellow-dog" decision and the decision proves
the injunction may be as useful to the unions as it has been
to employers.
