TO AVERT A SUGAR FAMINE

Washington.-Pres Wilson sd
the government again in control OF the
national food supply by transferring
the authority Of food administrator to
Attorney General Palmer.
Revival of the war time functions
Of Administrator Hoover resulted di-
rectly from government efforts to
avert a famine in sugar, but the pow
ers delegated to the head of the de-
partment of justice win be used also
to help put down the ever-mounting
cost of living.
For the present the attorney-general
will not put into operation all OF tEe
machinery permitted under the execu-
tive order signed by the president, but
should conditions arise to make 1t nee.
essary the full pressure of all the
broad power vested in him will be
exerted to meet them.
Mr.. Palmers staff will begin imme
diately to build up sugar distribut
ing system which will allocate al
sugar stocks In the country. It will
provide an equitable system of dis.
tributing supplies and will defeat anY
concentration or boarding, officials
said
Plans, tentatively decided upon,
provide for increasing the price Of all
sugar excepting the Louisiana crop.
for which price Of II cents already
has been fixed. to IL cents pound.
Wholesale.
Through this increase new sources
Of supply are expected to be opened.
With assurances that a fair marg'D
of profit, said to be about $1,54 hun.

refiners are ready to enter the Cuban
market and purchase all availa be
stocks, it was stated. Thus. officials
believe. the increased price will aye.t

come a famine during the next 90
days.

OF sugar by manufacturers whoss
products are not regarded as essenti

HANDS DOWN DECISION TO ET
Feet FEDERAL PROHIBITION
ACT Is CONSTITUTIONAL.
JUDGE cFiTzHENRY coNCuRs
Judge Carpenter Declares Central Gov.
srnment Has Same Rights as States
to Prohibit Manufacture and
Sale Of Alcohol.

Chiea agoTv-Federal Judge Carpenter
handed down a decision declaring the
wartime prohibition act constitutional
and denying the Injunction asked by
Chicago liquor dealers. Federal Judge
Fitzhenry concurred in the decision.
Referring to the national prohibi-
.-sien act, Judge Carpenter in his de-
cision said:
"If the state OF Kansas under its po-
lice power had the right to prohibit
the manufacture and sale OF ardent
spirits, so had each one of the other
Al states in the Union. II all OF the
states had the right. granting the fed;
eral government under the constitu'
ton while prosecuting the war was
entitled to exercise police power nec-
sessary and proper for the efficient
carrying on of the war. there Is n,
reason why the central government
could not provide against the manu-
lfacture and sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors In all the states, and that with
out compensation to the owners and
dealers"
'WThe Judge further said: y
"Cougress had the power before the
eighteenth amendment was passed to
make police regulations in the aid Of
war. This amendment certainly did
not destroy this right. II this amend
ment had been passed In January, 1917,
with the one year of grace for the
liquor interests to readjust them
selves and their businesses, could any
one in reason contend that congress
had not the power in April, 1917, to
prohibit the manufacture, sale or even
use of ardent spirits?
II cannot agree with the decision
OF Judge Brown in Rhode Island that
the eighteenth :. am9ndmeht r necessi-
tates the declaring Of war and ma.
tional prohibition acts unconstitu-
What congress has done is in the
interest of public welfare and public
morals. If plaintiff. not entitled to
compensation. the prohibition laws be-
ing valid. may sell and distribute their
produce among people of the country.
the damage to the general welfare
has been done and never can be un-
DONE II the action Of congress was
wise. and so we must assume it to bs,
believing the prohibition acts to be
lawful, even were the question here
involved doubtful We would have to
resolve the doubt in favor OF the gov
eminent.
