 Tt is contended that the provisions of the Constitutional amendment mak- ing it a crime to introduce into the State intoxicating liquors is uncOnsti- tutional as an attempt to regulate interstate commerce. There can be 10 mistaking the meaning of the Ian yuage used in the amendment with 'egard to the introduction of intoXicat- ing liquors-it plainly and clearly at empts to forbid and punish every }erson who introduces into, )r attempts to introduce into the State of Arizona intoxicating li- quors.
 Tt has been many times decided Jy the courts that intoxicating liquors lre subjects of interstate commerce to be regulated by congressional leg station, and exempt from State inter erence.
 AS to the purpose and meaning of he Webb-Kenyon Act, we fall back Ipon the opinion of the United States Supreme Court, as expressed by Jus ice Day, in Adams Express Company IS. Kentucky, 23S U.

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT EVIL
 DENTLY NEEDS VENDING

divest intoxicating liquors of their ln- terstate character in certain cases. What such cases should be was left to the text of the act to develop. * * *. It would be difficult to frame language more plainly indicating the purpose of Congress not to prohibit all interstate shipment or transports tion of liquor into so-called dry terri tory and to render the prohibition C., the statute operative only where the liquor is to be dealt with in violation of the local law Of the State into which it is thus shipped or transport ed Such shipments are prohibited only when such person interested in tends that they shall be possessed, sold or used in violation of any law of the State wherein they are received. Thus far and no farther has Congress seen fit to extend the prohibitions of the act in relation to interstate ship I~ASOPI cblIONICN Oy l1lC Wilson Act, which permits the state avs to operate upon liquors after termination of the transportation to he consignee, and the Webb Kenyon Act, which prohibits the transporta- tion of liquors into the State to be dealt with therein in violation of all -ocal law, the subject-matter of such interstate shipment is left untouched and remains within the sole jurisdic- tion of Congress under the Federal Constitution
 ''The appellant sought to show by evidence that the liquor with which ne was charged with introducing into the State was for his personal use, upon the theory that the prohibition. amendment to the Constitution does lot denounce or define personal use of intoxicating liquors as a crime. lie contends that it is not unlawful in chis state to have in possession, or 10 drink intoxicating liquors; that the Webb-Kenyon Act does not divest or 4ttempt to divest intoxicating liquors of their interstate character when shipped, transported or introduced into the State from without the State to be possessed or used for a lawful purpose.
 Search the prohibition amencnen- as you will, there is no suggestion or intimation in any form contained herein, prohibiting the possession or individual consumption of intoxicating liquors in Arizona. Indeed, it was freely admitted upon the argument by counsel who appeared as amici curise that it is not a crime to possess or drink intoxicating liquors in Arizona and while the Attorney General, at least in his brief, insists that the use or possession is a crime he fails to cite us to single instance where a | prosecution has been begun in any county of the State against any per son for drinking intoxicating liquors

or having it in his possession. The records of the courts throughout the State evidence many prosecutions for the sale of intoxicating liquors since the prohibition amendment went into effect. It is common knowledge that personal use has been more or less prevalent throughout the State and the effort has been, not to punish the user, but the seller thereof. The boot. legger and not his patrons have had the attention of the prosecuting of ficers of the State.
 "We think it is the concensus of opinion not only of the legal profes- sion, but of the general public that it is not crime to possess or drink intoxicating liquors in this State. This universal, and, no doubt, correct con- struction of the prohibition amend ment may easily account for the lack of effort upon the part of the prose cutting officers of the State to punish for the mere drinking or possession of intoxicating liquors. So far as the enforcement of the prohibitory law is concerned, that this has been the gen. eral usage and practical construction of the law by the officers of this State may not be gainsaid and is so admitted by the Attorney General. It it had been made a crime to use ana ! possess Intoxicating liquors in this State it's introduction for that purpose would relieve it of it's interstate com merce character, so that it's denounce- ment as crime would fall within the police power of the State. Tt not being unlawful in the State of Arizona to have or personally use intoxicating liquors, it's introduction into the State for personal use IS no, prohibited by the Webb-Kenyon Act, and the prohibition amendment, is so far as it attempts to interdict it's ship ment, transportation or introduction l into the State for lawful purpose, is intellectual as nattempt to regulate interstate commerce. It follows that
 the lower court committed error in refusing appellants offer of evidence l to show that he had brought the li- | Iuor into the State tor his personal use.
 From what has been said, it must
 lot be understood that the mere claim
 that intoxicating liquor has been brought in by one for his personal use renders such a person immune from prosecution. Any one bringing intoxi- ] ~ating liquor into Arizona from out side the limits of the State does so at his peril. Whether he subjects
 himself to punishment or not depends i on the use to which the intoxicating liquor is intended to be put. If the
 jury, under appropriate instructions as to what use would be a violation
 of the law of this State, are convinced l beyond a reasonable doubt from all i the evidence and circumstances in the
 case that such intoxicating liquor Is
 intended by any person interested
 therein to be received, possessed, sold
 or in any manner used' in violation
 of any law of Arizona, it would be their full duty to convict. If the use
 intended violates no law of this state then no offense has been committed.
