eootleqqers and "PersonaI Use"

Whether the bootegging industry is going to be benefited by the Topeka decision is not very clear The terms which shipments of liquor are to be delivered by the transportation companies are rather against them. The consgnee is required to call in person his shipments and to sign affidavit that the liquor is intended for personal use. This would constitute record which beside being embarrassing to the well meaning consignee would be quite helpful to officers in search of illicit dealers. Bootleggers therefore, might find it to their advantage to con- tnue the method of smuggling their goods across the border That is risky often resulting in detection and loss when the liquor is misbranded and sent by rail- way express and is very expensive when the liquor is brought in by automobile.
 It is for these reasons that the vendors have been required to charge such exorbitant prices for their wares. is very doubtful whether they could continue in business in competition with personal use" shipments, for doubt most of their patrons would arrange in one way another. to be served through the latter than pay the prices that have been exacted of them by the booteggers
 Some mention has been made of the resentment of certain Arizonians against Los Angeles and coast liquor dealers refusing take the action that afterward taken by Kansas City dealers to go into federal court The Arizonians threatened that since the way opened for them by the Kansas City dealers they would patronze them and send orders to the coast dealers IL transpres that the coast dealers could avail themselves of the Topeka decision if they would. for the federal order does compel the transportation companies to accept liquor shipments from point outside the state of Missouri
 That all that asked for in the prayer of the Kansas City complainant and that all the granted. If the dealers want to "get the trade" they will have apply for order affecting their own territory

 As to an invasion by Mexican troops, there is no possibility of such thing There may be raids across the border into the Santa Cruz and Lower Colorado river valleys, but they will necessarily be made by small parties whose operations would be confined close to the line.
