The political activity of ke commisfSoni-r has not been pas litf, but on the contrary has been ittive. , . , '5 Pursuant to oruers ol me gov- nw, which , were later reduced to miliar. $1500 of the state probibitioi and was turned over oy iue cuimuia imn to the superintendent of the tnd-Saloon league. This money was iiraed over as aforesaid in June anil ihi early part of July, 1924. No itom iirf itateraent covering the cspendi ure of this money was ever made by ihe superintendent of the Anti-bnl-xn league to the commissioner. A portion of this fund was spent in high '.long, debauchery and immorality up oo Ihe part of so-called investigating iienta. No prosecutions have resulted from the activities of these agents. It i, claimed by the governor, the pro hibition commissioner and the all irmtendent of the Anti-Saloon lea cue that said $1500 was expended in older to secure evidence for the pur pose of convicting 'large rum run ners.' The governor has asserted that :he money was well pent, and it is calimed that prosecutious will result. However, up to the present time no large 'ruin Tinnier has beeu arrested jr convicted as a result of said in- fstigation. Considerable time has 'lapsed since the investigations were made, and Weinberg, the chief nivcv tigator, has departed from the state of Oregon to answer an indictment in the state of New lork. 'A general statement has been sub' mitted to the committee by the su perintendent of the Anti-.Saloon lea- sue covering the expenditure of the aid sum of $l."i00. This statement shows that large gums were expended for hotels ami meals for Mr. and Mr?. Weinberg and guests cousistin 'large rum runners': and that !rtiou of said sum was expended for 'taxi, auto hire, cigars, drinks, etc. Hone; was spent freely by these "Eents in houses of prostitution for the purpose of purchasing drinks aim (or other purposes which were im proper. The committee believes Wein irf and his assiMant. Hugo, should Deter have been employed nt the ex pense of the slat nrohihilion fund. The methods employed by these ao "lled investigators were 'not law en forcement but lawlessness,' Th-Mr activities are a stain upon the pro hibition cause. "6 The commissioner had no pr.v wus experience which qualified him for the office nnd is not temperament- suited 1o Ihe work which de volved upon him. He has been unfor tunate in the selection and flpprov.nl ef number of agents employed by N.

Her sweetheart Is the champ scrapper in the world, and his sweetheart is. a queen of tho mov ies. Easy enough then for the two of them to pose .prettily for the photographer just after they were married. Here they are, Mr. and Mrs., Jack Dempsey, accom modating the camera Just as they left the church in San Diego, Calif. employment by t,hc commissioner, n two instances, a chief deputy of tliq commissioner has assaulted persons placed under arrest by him for the purpose of enforcing confessions from them. The commissioner, however has immediately discharged such employes as soon as their conduct became known to him. It has been difficult for him to secure the services of competent and trustworthy men, and i the governor has appointed too ninny ! special agents without any knowledge oi their character or qualifications us law enforcement officers. "7 The department! has been con ducted upon the theory, at least in part, that it was better to capture n corrupt official than a bootlegger and hns been unduly concerned ubout thi conduct of public officials. "8 The report of tho commission er with respect to the results obtain ed by his ofrice is exaggerated and in accurate. The best results in the en forcement of the prohibition law have beeu obtained under the direction of duly elected sheriffs and district at torneys of the various counties. Al though special ngenta were paid by the district attorneys of the various co.unties they were reuuired to re port to the commissioner and the re sults of tbe'iT word arc credited to the commissioner as though ihey were working under his immediate direc tion. In addition thereto, large credit is taken for work of which neither Mr. (.'leaver nor Jus assistant had th. slightest part. In some counties the commissioner is entitled to credit. "i The commissioner has done practically nothing towards the en forcement of the narcotic law. The narcotic evil is one of the most ser ious mutters confronting the. .people of tills Htttte nnd the., work of tho commissioner in Ihe. enforcement of nnrrotic laws has been almost nil. "Id itv reason of the inexpericmv of the co'mmif-si'-ner, he was directed by the governor to keep in close touch with tre superintendent, of the Anti Snloon lengue and to follow his ad vice, which the commissioner has con sistently done.

The other lecounuentlntioti, signed by !iepresontati t Hurlburt and Sen-1 ators Kddy, Johnson, Huller and (Jar- la im! urges that there be a change in the office of prohibition commissioner J without delay. They would strength n tho present act by giving tlio pro hibition department twice the amount j of money it now receives, under the ! act. ; The iM'comnietidations signed by llar and the four representatives follows in full: "A better machinery should be pro vided for the enforcement of the pro hibition laws than Ihe act providing for the appointment of a prohibition commissioner and agents to be select ed by the governor. 'The fines and forfeitures obtain ed by the various countb'R in the en forcement of the prohibition laws should be expended for the purpose of enforcing Ihe various prohibition acts. The major portion of tho money thus obtained should be expended under the direction and control of the district attorneys and sheriffs of the various counties. Their work should be supplemented by a '"flying squad ron" of carefully selected and com petent law enforcing officers to be selected by the attorney-general and required to co-operate with the vari ous law enforcing officers of the state. Theso officers will be able to perform valuable service in working and co-operating with the sheriffs. "Disregard for law ta a more seri ous menace than the evils resulting from the liquor traffic. Tho duty of enforcing the laws should be placed squarely upon tho shoulders of sher iffs and district attorneys nnd they should be assisted by tho stato offi cers to bo selected as hereinbefore Btated." Tho recommendations signed by Representative Hurlburt and the four senators follow: "Wo recommend the continuance of the present law creating tho of fice of prohibition commissioner but that there should bo a change iu the commissioner without delay.

This was granted and Mrs. Chand ler did not hear from, him for five years. Sentiment against a mau who dared fight agaiust his own family exentually died down nnd he returned home. Bride Was Waiting His "White Uouso" bride was wait ing for him. Tho Chandlers moved to Indiana and such agents and inspectors as 1 may be deemed necessary to enforce the prohibition laws of the state, is. vested in the governor.' The gover-j nor's orders and directions have been strictly and literally followed by the commissioner nnd the governor has appeared before the commit too nnd personally assumed full responsibility" for the conduct of the vffice of th. commissioner, . r'TJ The commissioner has oft times been unduly Condemned and criticized for conduct resulting from the direction of the governor and tbi superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league; but in our judgment he can be of no further service to the state as prohibition commissioner, nnd that in furtherance of the cause wf law en forcement his resignation should be demanded or he should be removed.". Representative Hurlburt signed n brief supplemantal report declaring that "in many instances the work the prohibition commissioner has been m"st commendable and he has -accomplished considerable substantial good which could not have been accom plished by local officers."
