TAFT is AGAINST
FEDERAL PROHIBITION
Criticises Plan as Dangerous Propo
sition' and Believes 1t Cannot
Be Enforced.

BOSTON. Dee. %. - Ex-President
William ii. Taft expressed himself un-
reservedly and Enthusiastically as not in
favor Of national prohibition, in his
speech last night at the l7th triennial
dinner Of the Bar Association of Bos-
ton at the Copley-Plaza hotel.
Chararterizing any such amendment
to the constitution as Il dangerous
proposition, he offered as the chief
reasons for his opposition to such ac-
tion that it was a confession on the
part of state governments Of inability
to control and regulate their own cs-
pccial business and duty, and that. If
the matter were placed under federal
control, it would result in the creation
Of 4 machinery of government officials
large enough to nominate any presi-
dent, and would offer too great an op-
portunity to persons seeking to perpct-
uate their power in Washington.
While he explained that his express
Ell views had no bearing ON the merits
of prohibition, Mr.. Taft emphasized
his opposition to the proposed amend
u:eut in the following words:
Local option laws when enforced
are good. National prohibition would
revolutionilc the federal government,
it would put on its shoulders the duty
of sweeping the doorstep of every
homo in the land. If YOU do it will
