For the price of one modern

Board For Political Ends
In Primary By Corrigan,
Ousted Commissioner
Strategy Fails.
SALRM, Or., May 31 (De
claring that the real reason for
his dismissal from the state game
commission lty Governor Xorblad
was his refusal to accept dictation
from the governor's so-called board
of strategy during the pre-primary
political campaign, nnd that his
position on the hoard was threat
ened by a member of the "board,"'
M. F. Corrigan of MeMinnville to
day made public here a statement
giving what he termed "the chain
of circumstances leading up to my
removal."
The governor's explanation that
he supplanted Corrigan with David
Rvans or Kugene to readjust the
geographical location of the com
missioners Is branded by Corrigan
as "a mere subterfuge to cloak the
real issue." and the real issue, he
saya, was the protection of Game,
Warden Harold Clifford.
Corrigan avers that, notwith
standing the governor declared a
policy of keeping game affairs out
of politics, his board of strategy as
sumed to dictate game commission
matters, particularly, he say, after
J. K. Culllson and Wilford All?.i
were appointed members of the
commission.
"During the recent campaign, "
says Corrigan, "Governor Xorblad i
on numerous occasions publicly
stated that he believed the game

LAW
General Opinion Deterrent
To Enforcement Says
Doran State Officials
Fail To Co-Operate
Large Minority Favor
Repeal.
WASHINGTON, May 31 p)
Public opinion was described today
by Prohibition Commissioner Do- -ran
as the deterrent to that com
plete enforcement of the dry laws "
which could bo accomplished If
alt the states would cooperate with
the. federal authorities.
In a monograph contending that
the states and the federal govern .
ment had concurrent obligations '
to enforce prohibition, Doran sabi
that In states where there was lax
cooperation "unwholesome Influ
enced are at work to prevent en
forcement." In New York City. Doran said,
there Was close connection between
the law breakers and the police,
and a tendency of "city officials"
to hamper federal enforcement of
ficers in many obscure ways."
First among his list of causes for
lack of enforcement there, he
placed:
"A strong sentiment against tho
prohibition law, not on the part of
the majority, perhaps, but on the
part of a large minority.'
Doran said that a double obli
gation rested upon the states to
aid In the enforcement of the law
i"the Inherent police power of
the state to regulate liquor traffic
and the power conferred on the
st&te by tho United States In the
Eighteenth Amendment."
"Laws provide plenty of author
ity for any state official to pro
ceed legally against any violator of
the national prohibition act," he
addod. "The .fact that, in . those
stutes that have no enforcement
act and In some states that do have
enforcement acts the duty is not
performed does not alter the obli
gation of the state enforcement of
ficials in the least."
Rovlewlng the dry statute, Do
ran said prohibition of Intoxicating
liquor did not start with the pas
sage of the Klghteenth Amend
ment, but had been enforced by 32
states through "bone dry" laws for
several years before and in 16
others through local option. This,
he said, brought a total of 66,000.
000 of the nation's population un
der prohibition. The Volstead a't,
he continued, was a composite of
the prohibition laws' of the states
which already had successfully en
forced them.
The state laws, the commissioner
said, together with the concurrent
power conferred by the Eighteenth
Amendment, provide ample vehicle
for enforcing the dry statute, If
the 200,000 state, county and city
police officers cooperate with the
2,000 prohibition agents of the na
tion. T
