What, after all. is Italy doing in the

Volstead Enforcement Act

Washington, March 4.-Siege war
fare against the prohibition enforce

wet members of the house Although
repulsed 254 to IS in the initial at
tack made in the form of a straight
out repeal provision offered by Rep.
Eagan, democrat of New Jersey, the
-prohibitionists announced they
planned to raise the. issue again dur
ing consideration of every bill ap-
propriating funds for enforcement of
the prohibition arnentmeat-
The state of New Jersey through
its attorney general Thomas F. Nc
Gran today filed in the United States
supreme court suit seeking to have
the prohibition amendment declared
unconstitutional and to prevent en-
forcement Of the Volstead act.
The bill sets forth that the amend
ment was improperly drawn. that in
twenty-one states the legislatures
have not ratified it as provided by
their state constitution and that there
is no power in congress to propose
a constitutional amendment reguiar-
ing the habits and morals of the peo-
pie.
1t recites further that the amend
ment is a legislative and not a con-
stitutional matter and that as such It
was improperly passed.
1t is charged that the amendment
centralizes authority without the con-
sent of the people of New Jersey and
that it is a violation of their sovereign
rights. The VoIstead act having been
MI Of
ment, the petition says, is null and
void.
1t is claimed that the Vo1stead act
is illegal because by "depreciating and
in a large measure destroying the
taxable value of real and personal
property within the state It is de-
structiye Of the states faaS >ssad indie

prives the state of revenues from

by heavy fines, imprisonment and
forfeitures, thus preventing applica-
tion for licenses for the sale of nom

tions; that the state has not con-
Cured in the amendment and tnar if
the act is enforced it will nullify the
right of the state to regulate its in
ternal affairs. 1t is claimed the act
is not appropriate to enforce the pro-
hibition contained in the amendment
which is expressly confined to fntox-
icating liquors.
In conclusion the complaint declares
that if the amendment is valid the
right of congress to legislate under
it is restricted to matters relating to
sthe external concerns of the United
States and within thu peculiar domain
of the federal government to regulate
commerce.. among the states" and
that the state alone has the power
to enforce the act within its own
borders.
