TILMAN FIGHTS LIQUOR
Wants Interstate Commerce
Law Set Aside in Part
Offers Resolution.

Washington, D. c., Dec Ex-senator
Ben" Tillman today championed the
cause Of prohibition in the senate. He
offered first a resolution calling on the
interstate commerce commission to de-
fine the authority Of the federal gov
ernment and Of the states in respect
to the control Of the liquor ira fife
through the operation Of the inter
state commerce law.
After long discussion of the subject
he withdrew the resolution and there
was substituted a bill depriving liquor
from exemption from the operation of
state laws. even though carried from
one state into another.
The South Carolina senator also in
trodueed a resolution asking the inter-
state commerce commission to report
whether any corporation engaged in
interstate commerce is the owner of
stock OF any other corporation trans
porting passengers and freight.
Explaining his purpose in his "Hq-
uor" resolution. AR Tnlman said it
was to prevent. IL possible. the circum-
vention of the laws in the interest of
prohibition which are being generally
enacted In the southern states.
Says Courts ShacISIe States.
Congress attempted. in enacting the
Wilson law. to protect the people in
the enforcement of their state laws.
but the courts have shaded down the
protection until there is practically
nothing left of it, and l want the
committee to ascertain whether it is
not practicable to give relief. The de-
cisions Of the courts have been on the
ground that the law interferes with
Interstate commerce. and it is on this
account that I have asked to have the
investigation made by the interstate
commerce committee"
Mr. Tillman holds the express COM
panies responsible for the evasion of
the state laws. He says they are food
ing the local option part of South
Caroline and other local option south
ern states with whisky which is sent
from other states &C. o. D"
The supreme court Of the United
States has held that such traffic can
not be interfered with because of it's
interstate character.
Kean Is Sarcastic.
Does the senator from South Caro-
line" asked Mr. Kean, want to instruct
States WL1dL laws tIeS SnOulu pass 10
protect themselves from the liquor traf-
flc?"
Mr.. Tillman answered that his reso-
luton simply sought to define the point
at which the police power of the state
begins.
Mr.. Aldrich said the question had
been before the committee on judiciary
in five or six congresses. The supreme
court of the United States. he continued
held that the sale of liquor was mat
ter of commerce and not of police.
Senator Culberson suggested that a
report of a committee of congress can
not add to or take away from the
power of state or of the federal
government. The constitution, he said
provides that congress shall regulate
interstate commerce. and no act of a
| legislature of any state could add tC
or take from that power. If 1t be in
terstate commerce the state alone
could regulate 1t.

There are a few golfers, it is true,

that they will not foozle their tee

with aggrayating steadiness that
makes them akin to an automaton.
