PROHIBITION IN THE SENATE,

40 less than SIX bills for the regula
tion Of the liquor tralnc are now pend
ing before tn, United states Senate ju-
dietary committee. The trouble with
thcm all Is that there is some doubt
about their constitutionality.
state prohibition laws are nullined by
the fact that no state has authority
over interstate commerce. States
wherein 1t is forbidden to handle in
toxicating beverages have been rem
dercd powerlcss to enforce their own
laws through shipments Of liquor TO
anonymous consignees. Tho railroads
aud express companies have served as
agents for the manufacturers of liquor
and have collected the price charged
for any sized package that may be de-
sired.
II is proposed to frame some meas
me prohibiting express companies from
serving az agents aud collectors for H.
auor dealers. The Prohibitionists want a
bill making II unlawful TO send ship
nents TO anonymous or fictitious per-
sons. Every package. they contend,
should be for bona iide citizen of the
state, who shall establish his identity,
before a delivery is made to HIM A
statement should be on the outside Of
each package announcing exactly how
much whisky Is contained therein. In
this way the state, II ~ thought. would
be in a position to Keep track of every
liquor consignment that crosses It's
border aud know to whom II Is dcllv-
cred. In this way, 1t Is asserted the
present ineffectivencss of prohibition
would be largely removed.
