INTERPRETATION
PUT ON WHISKY
SHIPMENT LAW
U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL
GIVES OPINION.
Federal Offense to Transport Liquor
From One State to Another, the
Laws of Which Prohibit Sale
and Manufacture Thereof.

Attorney General Gregory has is
sued the following instructions to
United States attorneys:
On account of the large number of
inquiries by United States attorneys
relating to the construction to be
placed on the Reed amendment (39
Stat, 1858, 1069) and to prospective
prosecutions Hereunder, you are here
in advised of this departments inter-
probation of certain provisions of the
law.
Reed Amendment Outlined.
The Reed amendment makes a fed
eral offense to "cause Intoxicating
liquors to be transported in interstate
commerce, except for scientific, sacra-
mental, medicinal and mechanical pur-
poses, into any state or territory the
laws of which state or territory pro-
hibit the manufacture or sale therein
of Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes" altho the state law may
not prohibit such importation or may
specifically permit the importation of
Intoxicating liquors in designated
quantities. (See 81 Cong. Rec, pit.
4, PIP. 3330-3336 and 3793-3SO6.)
Every form of transportation is for
bidden, whether by common carrier, by
private conveyance, in baggage, or on
the person. In connection with the
prohibition against the carriage of
liquor on the person, your attention is
called to the case of United States vs.
Chavez (22S U. S., 525, 532-533). The
carrier or shipper may be prosecuted
in any district from, thru, or into
which the liquor is transported. Gar
mour Packing Co. VS.. United States,
209 U. s., Sc; United States VS.. Free
man, 239 U. s., 117.)
To Report Violations.
You are directed to report to this
department instances of interstate
transportation of Intoxicating liquors
into a dry locality in a local-option
state, if the state law prohibits in such
dry locality their manufacture or sale
for beverage purposes. A test case
will be selected from those reported
for the purpose of determining the
applicability of the law to such trans
portation.
Please govern yourself accordingly
Should you be in serious doubt con-
cerning your duty in any specific case,
write to the department for instruc-
tions.

spectators off the back Of the pro-
ducers, release the land to the people,
open opportunity for all. and leave
every man free in the possession of
what each produces"
Frederick C. Leubuscher. n promi-
nent attorney. in an address on the
constitutionality of n federal tax on
land values, quoted numerous decisions
of the United States supreme court
and dissenting opinions which indi-
cate that a tax on land values would
be held not TO violate the provision of
the constitution against direct taxes
except in proportion to population.
That provision was incorporated to
prevent tax on the acreage of land.
and not to avoid tax on the value
thereof, he claimed from early decis-
ions.
"Mr. Byron w. Holt. n noted finan-
cial writer, said that prices have in
creased about 10 per cent since the
war began. so that they are now l6S
per cent higher than they were TWEEN
ty-one years ago. Nearly 400 100000
acres of land are held idle"
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

and one-haf billion dollars in taxes
because land owners are permitted to
retain most of the ground rent. De-
spite the shortage of crops, nearly
half of the arabic Iarm land of the
country is held idle, most of it for
speculative purposes. To secure more
food the slackers who held land idle
must be heavily taxes, so they will
produce or let some one else produce"
Commissioner Howe, in an address
on Taxation, Land and Liberty" de-
clared for the taxation of land values
as the rallying cry of democracy in
the New World.
Charles H. Ingersoll, advocating the
Liberty Tax, said:
Every one of the huge incomes re-
ceived in the United States is derived
from some special privilege. We must
pay more of the cost of the war by
current taxation. II is inequitable and
undemocratic to conscript our sons to
fight this war and to conscript our
grandsons to pay for it.
Democracy cannot be attained in
the United States, however noble our
purpose in entering the war, unless we
break up monopoly, afford the working
people free access to the land, and stop
our sinful and undemocratic practice
of farming out the workers to land
er to tax to properly constituted gov
ernment. We must have a liberty

1nequitable to COnscript Sons to Fight

GrandsOns to Pay the Bill.
BY DANTE BARTON.

NEW YORK CITY, July 3O.-Leg-
islation is to be presented to congress
soon to levy a federal land tax of 1
per cent on the assessed value of all
improved land and of per cent upon
the value of all unimproved land. The
proceeds are to be used for the war
in place of further taxes upon indus
try and workers.
Along with the land value tax, laws
are proposed for the immediate ac-
question by the federal government of
all natural resources (such as coal and
oil lands, iron ores, timber, water pow
er sites, etc. to be owned and oper-
ated by the public for the public at
least for the duration of the war. The
principle of compensation to the pri-
vate owners is to be return on the
actual, honest investment and moth
ing for the fictitious "values" of good
will" etc.
This legislation is part of the con-
structive program to abolish privilege
in America and to set free the man
hood forces of the nation.
1t connects directly with the war
only as the added costs and sterner
duties of the war emphasize the need
of a new democracy in America.
Not Proposed by the Few.
Naturally, the legislation is not pro-
posed by the per cent few who own
the majority of the wealth of the
country. But as nothing constructive
or good for the country has ever come
from them it is not to be expected that
anything good will come now.
What is proposed is one concrete
proposition in the general assault up
on a system of privilege which was
crumbling when the war came.
The committee on the high cost of
living, in whose name the legislation
will be presented, has held exhibits and
recent conferences before and since
the war came to the United States.
From a statement prepared by Ben
jamin G. Marsh, executive secretary
of the committee the following ex
tracts are made:
"The committee comprises in its
membership, drawn from twenty
eight states, men and women like
John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor; C. B. Keg-
ley, just elected for the twelfth time,
master of the Washington state
grange: Mrs. Joseph Feis' commis, mis-
sioner Frederick C. Howe, Frank p
Walsh and Amos Pinchot. The com
mittee also favors government owner
ship and operation Of natural monop-
olies such as railroads, in the fight to
cut living costs.
unearned Profits Are Large.
"The committee estimates that tbo
aggregate unearned profits of land
spectators, owners of natural re-
sources and natural monopolies is an
proximately five and one-half billion |
dollars, this year, while the producers
OF the country have to pay nearly two

WHEN DADDY GETS A RAISE
By JUDGE ALBERT C. BAKER
(In the Stockton Labor Review.)

Clouds will rift, skies get clearer,
Paradise will seem much nearer,
Home, itself, trifle dearer,
When daddy gets a raise.
There'll be pictures for the wall,
Pretty carpet on the hall,
Trinkets new, for one and all
When daddy gets a raise.
Days for mother will be brighter,
She will hug the wee ones tighter,
For her task will then be lighter
When daddy gets a raise.
With her needle and her yarn,
She'll not have to stitch and darn,
Sore of heart and tired of arm
When daddy gets a raise.
Skies will seem a-turning bluer,
Holes and patches will be fewer,
For the duds will all be newer
When daddy gets a raise.
Brothers breeches need not be
Amputated at the knee
For the baby boy of three
When daddy gets a raise.

AS the children swing and teeter,
l am sure they'll all look sweeter,
And, perhaps, little neater-
When daddy gets a raise.
Willie's feelings won't be hurt
Cause he has to wear shirt
Made from mothers faded skirt
When daddy gets raise.
Mothers heartaches will be rarer,
All the world to her'll be fairer,
In its joys she'll be a sharer-
When daddy gets a raise.
There'll be hours for quiet ease
Meath the blossoms of the trees,
With the flowers and birds and bees
When daddy gets a raise.
Is it, therefore, any wonder,
Prayers are daily offered yonder
For these blessings without number
When daddy gets a raise.
And when mother, good and true,
Giveth thanks where they are due,
Won't she include the Union, too
When daddy gets raise?

are worth having they are worth en-
forcing. The following appeared
last week over the mayors sigma
ture:
Notice is hereby given to all au-
tomobile owners and drivers within
the limits of the incorporated town
Of Ca.mar, that the laws and ordin-
'ances governing the running of
autos within said limits, will hereaf
ter be strictly enforced. All yiolat tiers
will be apprehended and fined. LET
THIS SINK IN. 1t makes no diff
ference who you are or where you
come from. All will be served alike.
THIS MEANS BUSINESS. We add
the following for your convenience.
You must not exceed a speed of $
miles per hour. This means in the
outskirts of town as wei as in the
business section.)
You must have both head and tail
lights burning while running after
dark.
You must keep to the right at all
crossings, and when you leave your
car standing by the curb it must be
headed in the right direction. Also,
no car may be left in front Of the
fire station or any water hydrant.
This may seem rather short and

the distance to the point the sooner
you get to it.
