PROVISIONS OF THE
LIQUOR LAW.
WEBB
Carriers Prohibited to Deliver to Fic­
titious Persons or Collect Price.
In view of the interest in statutory
enactment to carry out the force of
the prohibition amendmnet in Ore­
gon, the following text of the Webb
law and other Federal legislation
governing interstate shipments.of in­
toxicants is pertinent and worth per­
usal by those interested in prospec­
tive legislation affecting the liquor
traffic. In view of the fact that the
Oregon amendment does not prohib­
it distribution, it will be legal, in the
absence of further enactments, for in­
terstate carriers to deliver intoxicants
in Oregon to individuals for person­
al use and to druggists and physicians
to despense by perscription:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit­
ed States of America in Congress as­
sembled:
That the shipment or transporta­
tion in any manner or by and means
whatsoever of any spiritous, vinous,
malted, fermented or other intoxicat­
ing liquor of any kind, including beer,
ale or wine, from one state, territory
or district of the United States, or
place non-contiguous to but subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, into any
other state, territory or district in the
United States, or place non-contigu­
ous to but subject to jurisdiction
thereof, or from any foreign country
into any state, territory or district of
the United States, or place non-con­
tiguous to but subject to the jurisdic­
tion thereof, which said spiritous,
vinous, malted, fermented or other in­
toxicating liquor is intended to be re­
ceived, possessed, sold or in any man­
ner used, either in the-original pack­
age or otherwise, in violation of any
law of such state, territory or dis­
trict of the United States, or place
non-contiguous to but subject to the

The conditions which are now oper­
ating toward an improvement in trade
and commerce are conditions which
have worked a temporary suspension
of the Underwood-Simmons tariff
law.The change in conditions could be
foreseen as approaching from the be­
ginning of the war in Europe, contin­

one of considerable duration. The

both imports and exports, was felt in

it was possible to see the early com­

continue, the excess of exports over
imports, with two of the largest war­
ring nations, Germany and Austria,
among the heaviest exporters of good
to this country, and unable to get
their wares into this market, and
France and England unable to main­
tain their output, the balance of trade
in our favor must grow rapidly and
steadily. It is to be seen, also, that
