CHARGE BY JUDO E.
Result of Revenue Frauds-Gr0ncr
Brands Evidence of Colored Witness
as False.

Richmond, Oct. 1S-The Federal
government yesterday won its suit In
the United States District Court for
the confscation of the Pocahnotas
Distilery, in Petersburg, for viola
ition of the internal revenue law with
intent to defraud in evasing the pay
ment of tax on whisky. The jury
reached a verdict in a surprisingly
short time, remaining out of the room
only thirty minutes. The Pocahon-
tas is one of the largest grain dis
tilleres in Virginia. 1t is expected
by the revenue authorities that the
fight will be carried higher.
Robert H. Talley, counsel for the
,distillery, argued grounds for set
ting aside the verdict before Judge
e mund Waddill, Jr., in the United
States District Court today. Mr..
Talley bases his hope for an appeal
on what he called the courts misin'
structions to the jury.
In instructing the jury, Judge
Waddill stated that the mere fact
that fermenting beer was found in
the "slop" tank warranted a verdict
for the government.
No criminal proceedings have been
instituted in this case Since the gov
.ernment has succeeded in confsca-
ting the distillery for frauds, it is
considered highly probable that the
district attorney will attempt TO es-
tablish the responsibility Of the own
rers.
By previous agreement, the gov
e,nment will take the cash equivalent
of the Pocahontas Distillery at the
time it was seized in June, instead Of
the plant itself.

for a one-house legislature limited in
number of its members to fraction
of it's present size, should be growing
in this state?
Is it any wonder that the people are
determined that if needs be they will
wipe out state legislatures entirely
and legislate for themselves directly
through the initiative?
Is it any wonder that with the spec
tacle of a HUMPHREYS on the bench,
the people should remember that the
legislature refused to give them the
Recall of Judges?"
Is it any wonder that the people are
resolved that, imperfect as it is, they
will use the initiative next year to
drive home to the Joint forces of or
ganized capital and crooked politics
the realization that the principle of
direct legislation will in the hereafter
be the weapon with which the people
will wrest back that which has been
stolen from them or that which in
their apathy and ignorance they have
given away?
1t was up to the legislature to pro-
vide the machinery for carrying into
effect the principle of the initiative,
referendum and recall The result
was a measure of doubtful value in
the minds of some of our people.
Many express the belief that the pro-
visions of the law make it an extreme
ly difficult weapon to get into action
with. That may be true or it may not
be true The future will tell that
It's weak spots will be determined by
application. Certain it is that the peo-
pie are going to test it and it is also
certain that they will not abandon the
principle of direct legislation. If the
law is found weak, the faulty parts
will be strengthened by future legisla
| ton.
The year 1914 will witness the first
test of the new weapon and in the next
article of this series I shall try to out
line our part in the coming battle.

themselves to support said measures
if elected. A working majority of
those elected to the legislature signed
these pledges. The measures were
five in number and were as follows:
First, a bill prohibiting employment
agencies from collecting fee from
a workman for furnishing him a job;
second, a change in the system of Sc
lecting the rules committee so that
majority rather than a small minority
should determine what bills should or
should not be reported out and placed
on final passage; third, the Blue Sky"
law; fourth, law permitting co-opera-
tive associations to form corporations
for the transaction of any lawful bust
ness on the cooperative plan; fifth,
the right of the people to amend the
state constitution through the initia-
tive.
Number one was introduced in both
house and senate and never got out of
the rules committee, though reported
favorably by the labor committees of
both houses. Number two, changing
the house rules stirred things at the
start of the session. There are ninety
seven members of the house but in
reality they are as powerless as a
setter pup in influencing legislation if
the powerful rules committee says nay.
A set of rules, made by the machine
and intended to keep control of legis-
lation in the hands of the machine at
all times, made small minority the
actual dictators as to how measures
should be submitted, and when they
should be submitted for final passage.
With the speaker of the house chair
man of the rules committee and his
colleagues on that committee men of
his own choosing, the machine had at
all times a powerful leverage on legis-
lation. determined fight was made
at the outset on the house rules but
the whip was too strong. AS in the
case of the pedge on House Bill CO.
members violated their pledge in suf-
ficient numbers to prevent any change
in house rules.
Number three, Blue Sky" law, was
referred and re-referred and finally
died in committee.
Number four was passed and became
a law.
Number five deserves chapter all
by itself. 1t was the big fight OF
the session from our standpoint.
House Bill No. 300 was throughout
the session the storm-center of attack
by the opposition forces. The corpor-
ate interests of the state recognized in
that bill a weapon which might be
turned against them with disastrous
effect. The power in the hands of the
people to amend the state constitution
by the initiative, was and is the great
cornerstone of direct legislation. At
all times there was majority Of the
house that stood for this measure
But it required a two-thirds majority
to pass as it involved the submission
of a constitutional amendment for
vote of the people. Every effort was
put forth to prevent a favorable com
mittee report upon this bill and delay
was the order of the day But the in
evltable day when the members had to
go on record had to come. 1t was
nearly the close of the session when
the bill was placed on final passage.
Knowing that enough men had been
pledged to pass the bill, the opposition
