Acknowledging the importance Of
efforts that have been made in the
past by the state TO procure the right
to control the liquor traffic, Cover
nor West has made public a letter in
which he states his intention to APP
point delegates to attend n conference
at Washington, which is called for
the purpose Of e~Xpedlting the passage
in the merit session of congress Of a
bill to that end, which was submitted
to the last session, but not acted upon
when congress adjourned.
The chief question to be enooun-
tered in this legislation is whether the
police powers Of the state a be in
Voked without Interfering with the
federal government,
States Should Control.
For a number Of years past an eff.
fort has been made TO secur the pas
sage Of legislation by congress which
would insure to the states the right
to control the liquor traffic untram-
meled from the outside. It is admit
ted on all hands that the states ought
TO be free 10 adopt whatever policy
may seem to them wisest and best for
the regulation and control OF the
liquor traffic but obstacles have been
found in that the power to regulate
interstate commerce bas been espe-
Cially delegated to the federal govern.
ment.
Friends of state regulations, how
ever, believe that the police powers OF
thu several states can be invoked
without interfering with the rights Of
the federal government.
Last year a conference of those in.
terested in the subject Of interstate
liquor shipments was held in Wash
ington. AS a result Of the conference
a bill was agreed upon and presented
to congress, but congress adjourned
before the bill came IN for passage.
