Legal BEFORE volstcad Act.

WASHINGTON, 5an. 5.-The su-
preme court held the government ex-
ceeded its authority in preventing the
sale of 2.75 per cent beer under war
time prohibition before the Volstead
law was passed. The decision. unfa-
vorable to the government does not
mean that the sale of 2.75 per cent
beer is authorized now because the
court at an earlier day held that con-
eress had the power as expressed in
the involved law to fix half of one per
cent as the amount of alcohol making
l beverage Intoxicating.
The main effect of this opinion will
be TO prevent prosecution of brewers
and Ii9uor dealers who sold 2.75 per
cent beer under wartime prohibition
from July until october 2S, the day
the olstead act became effective.

MOST VITAL u. I'm
OF VOLSTEAD LAW
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Decree Upholds Congress Ban
ming 1 70 Per Cent Bever-
ages, Defining Intoxicant
Billion Dollar Stocks In
volved.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Upholding
the constitutionality Of the most vital
section of the Volstead enforcement
law, the supreme court declared that
'275 per cent beer and other near
beers cannot be sold under wartime
prohibition. The important feature OF
the decision is that the court upheld
the action of congress in declaring in
preventing the sale
of all beverages containing one-half of
one per cent or more alcohol by vol
ume, with the exception of home cider
and wine.
The court decree may be taken as
a definition Of Intoxicating liquor that
will stand under constitutional prohi-
bition also, due to a definite state
ment that congress in providing for
the enforcement of prohibition can
prescribe just what makes a beverage
Intoxicating Supporting in every way
the contention of the government and
congress. the decree apparently means
a bone dry nation.
No Hope of Lid Fitting
Likewise dispeis the hope OF liquor
interests for any fitting of the lid
either now or under CONSTITUTIONAL
prohibition, II is believed. The de-
cision was 5 to 4. Justices Stay, Nc
Reynolds vanderventer and Clark dis
senting. McReynolds, in a minority
opinion. called the decision novel
theory saying II would portend Sc
rious consequences. His opinion was
for denunclation of assumption of as
sumption by the federal government
of police and other powers that have
not been specifically granted it.
Financial Interest Great.
Financial interests involved in the
decision are estimated at billion dol
lars by liquor attorneys including the
amount of near beer on hand and
property for its manufacture which
will be rendered virtually useless. One
hope of liquor interests was to con-
vert old time breweries into plants for
making 2.75 per cent beer.
Action-of the government in prohib-
iting the sale of 2.75 per cent beer
both before and after the Volstead
law passed October 2s, 1919. was up
held.

TEACHERS WANT
CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

The teachers of Montana are ask
ing the candidates for the Legislature
and the candidates for governor to
express themselves upon the ques-
ton Of constitutional convention.
The teachers realize that under the
present constitution equitable taxa
ton is impossible. Since, however,
it takes four years, even with will
ing legislature, to bring about re-
vised constitution and since there is
an imperative need for more revenue
for schools, they are advocating not
only an advance Of the maximum gen.
eraI property tax but also gradual
ed tax upon the net proceeds of all
the mineral output and of hydro
electric companies.
The measure which they are urging
us a temporary expedient begins with
a light tax upon the net proceeds of
small companies and increases to six
per cent for the larger corporations
The bill has been drawn by Mr..
Woody Of the attorney generals Of
fee. 1t is conceded by all that Mr..
Woody is one of the best posted men
on taxation in the state. Other tax
alton experts have approved the
principal features Of the bill.
Seventy-five per cent of the money
thus raised would be distributed
among the school Of the state on the
teacher and pupil basis. The other
twenty per cent would go to
help defray the general expenses of
the state.
The teachers of the state hope that
the Legislative candidates will not
hesitate to express themselves pub
licly concerning both the constitu-
tional convention and the taxation
measure
