ATTY. GENERAL DECLINES
TO INTERPRET DRY" LAW
SAYS ITS PLAIN ENOUGH

October 10, 1918.
Mr.. w. NJ Peticolas.
General Solicitor E. p. & S w. Ry.
FL Paso, Texas.
Dear Sir:
l am in receipt of your letter oi
the l4th instant asking for a cons.
truction of the recent Prohibition
Amendment, which is now in force
in this state, with reference to the
Importation of liquors into the state
by common carriers.
The only restriction upon the i'm.
portation of liquor into the state is
in the following language: "and no
person, association or corporation
shall import into this state any OF
such liquors or beverages for sale
barter or gift" The language OF the
constitution quoted is so plain and
free from ambiguity that shall re-
train from any comment or attempt
at construction. Any attempt at
construction of language as plain as
this. would not shed any light upon
the subject
You make further inquiry as to the
liability OF common carrier to I'M
port liquor into this state in the
light of the act OF Congress referred
to and quoted by you The cons
truction of this statute is a matter
which addresses itself solely to the
Federal authorities and the Federal
courts. Any attempt at construction
of this act of Congress by this Of
flee would not serve any useful pur-
pose, and, besides. might confuse and
complicate the situation.
For the reasons stated I decline to
express any views upon this phase
o fthe subject.
Yours very truly.

Attorney General
