The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-03-03

This exception II deemed of vital
importance and was retained by the
Senate after considerable debate
arst. for the reason that It involves
second offense of perjury, the punish
ment for which, under existing gen
eral law, h much more severe than
that prescribed by the Mapp bill; Sec
ond, because IT involves an important
question of policy. Under the inter-
state shipment privilege allowed un-
der the bill, persons DESTROYS of evad-
ing the law, the ''bootlegger" and
blind tiger" may. and probably will.
try to obtain ardent spirits in excess
of the quantity allowed by the act
feet this evasion will be by ordering
various shipments at different points
of the same or of different transpor-
tation companies. INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons will not hesitate to make the
necessary affidavits to receive these
shipments, and unless the penalties
for false swearing are made severe,
they will take the risk of detection
and conviction.
To adopt the Gordon amendment
will seriously weaken this provision
of the bill, and from its general, rather
vague. wording, added at the end of
the bill. as it is proposed to be. it
may cause other confusion and un-
certainty.
The question of penalties prescribed
for the violations of the various pro-
visions of the bill has been most care
fully considered by the trainers Of
the bill, the Senate Committee on
Moral Welfare. the Senate itself, where
the whole matter was debated at
length. and by the able House Com
mittee on Moral Welfare. 1t would
be unwise in the House to impair the
force and strength of the bill by weak
ening the penalties. Let the friends
of prohibition in the House be on
guard and vote down every amend
ment seeking TO emasculate the bill
penalties.

NO PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC..

liquor trafflc to few men and at
te#Pts 10 make the State direct
partner IN the traffic to the extent
Of q per cent. In other words. it
puts the State Of Virginia directly In
the liquor business and makes the
treasury OF the State dependent for
its surplus or deficit upon the amount
of intoxicating LIQUOR sold by these few
specially favored" 81 liquor dealers.
rhe people Of Virginia do not want
to educate their children out of the
profits from a partnership with the
question while II is presented under
the guise of a great anxiety to reduce
taxes and increase the revenues OF the
State, of course nothing but n
trick Of the liquor trafrIc, its agents
and abettors, to continue to be
power In the political life of the State
OF Virginia
The purpose of the proposed
amendment is not to help the tax
payer. but II is to give to few liquor
dealers the opportunity TO make money
by p9rtnership with the State. 1t
really is a reiteration. in a longer
and more elaborate form. OF Mr.
Blake's ingenious request at the hear
ing some weeks ago. "Why not let nse
sell the quarts?"

A Strong Code of law.

Strong SOue Oh law.
The law as passed upon by the
Senate of Virginia and willS be by
the House of Delegates. 1t seems TO
us. will serve the purpose of enforc-
lug the will of the people as express
ed more than two years ago that Vir-
GINA should be dry" after Septem-
Der !. 1916.
We deeply regret that the Lesisla-
ture should have thought it necessary
or wise, to enact provision permit
ting ANY QUANTITY of intoxicants
being shipped into our State. Whilst
we are very much opposed to this fea-
ture of the law as enacted, believing
it to be against the expressed will Of
the people at the polls. but taking the
bill as whole we consider 1t one of
the strongest ever enacted by any
State legislature for the enforcement
of prohibition of the sale and manu-
facture Of alcoholic liquors.
In the Senate where for several
years the suggestion of submitting the
question of giving the people an OPP
portunity OF voting on the same was
opposed by many of the senators who

We are glad to see from the secular
press that our Senator. G.. T. Rtson,
voted with the majority for the strin-
gent enactment. Indeed. only three
senators voted against the provisions
of the bill upon final roll call.
With a strong commissioner to lock
after the general enforcement of the
law, as provided for in the act. with
the additional Custer clause pro-
viding for removal Of mayors or mag
istrates who fail to enforce the liquor

THE UNREPREsENTED GIRLS OF THE STATE.

ure which would have no possibility
Of success on it's merits alone. What
will members Of the General Assem-
bly, say TO the fathers and mothers
of these unrepresented girls? These
girls are asking for bread, for an OPP
portunity. for an education. The Gem
eral Assembly, II it adopts the CO.
ordinate college bill, will not give
these unrepresented girls any bread
Parents and children in the coun-
try districts have actually been led to
believe that If this bill Is adopted a
girl can get a college education at
an exceedingly low cost or at the
states expense. and petitions have
been circulated and have been signed
by persons who do not know that the
cost of attendance at the proposed
college will be anywhere from a mini
mum of $500 to a maximum of $3.50.
or even more.
If this proposed college bill is pass
ed, IL will block the way for any real
college to meet the real needs of the
great multitude of Virginia girls.
These girls are unrepresented by any
lobby Ought not the members of the
House of Delegates themselves to rep
resent them?
