DEATH ORDERED

Jail Terms Also Provided
Under Mexican States
Dry Law

Hermosillo, Sonora-Dry leaders in
the United States can learn a few
lessons from Mexico in what real
bone-dry prohibition is.
Not all Mexico is dry. But the
state OF Sonora. with 10000 popula-
ton. is Literally bone-dry. It has been
for four years.
n the United States wants to put
over prohibition without loopholes let
her adopt the drastic measures in
force in Sonora. Here they are:
Death penalty for moonshiners and
importers OF Intoxicating liquor.
Life Imprisonment for bootleggers
who sell 1t.
One to fourteen years Imprisonment
for having one drink in ones possess
sion.
And the natives of Sonora like this
brand of bone-dry prohibition so much
that they recently voted. nearly IL to
!, to keep in force permanently these
laws, originally issued by Gen. Plu-
tarco Elias Gales when he became
military governor of Sonora four years
ago.
Gen. Gales has been governor ever
since-until his recent call to Mexico
City to become minister OF commerce
anu hluuStTy IN tne CdDlnet OF PreSl-
dent Carranza-
Here is the way Gen. Gales sums
up the benefit derived from a policy
OF shooting men who manufacture
liquor and imposing drastic prison SEN
tences on those who import 1t. sell it
and have it in their possession:
No revolutionary movement in
Sonora in four years.
Labor. formerly only so per cent
employed. now nearly 100 per cent
employed six days a week.
School attendance 10 per cent
greater.
Production of mines. mills, factor
les, farms( fisheries increased % to
So per cent.
Wages Increased from 10 to 50 cents
a day to So to IS a day.
Results in Sonora have convinced
me that real bone-dry prohibition Is
one of the best remedies for Boil
shevism." said General Gales, but
you have to stamp out the liquor
traffic down to the very last drop
or prohibition becomes a Joke. It's
no joke in Sonora"
