Acting Secretary of State Frank L. Polk proclaimed the amendment as part of rfe Constitution under date of January 29, 1919, but it goes into effect one year from the date of rah- cation by the 36th state. As that took place on January 16, 1919, the amendment is operative. according to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, at midnight of tonight.
 To enforce constitutional prohibi- tion, Congress enacted a bill so dras- tic that a man can be fined or put in jail for even displaying a picture of a brewery or keg. Right to store Hquor in ones own home for personal use stood up, however, against wig orous attacks in both Senate and House.

 Two main points of attack upon the 18th or Prohibition Amendment still remain to be made by the anti-pro- hibition forces according to Hugh Fox, secretary of the United States Brewers Association here. The United States Supreme Court, he says. will adudicate them. They are: First, whether Congress has the right to define an Intoxicating beverage" and second, a decision as to the scope and meaning of the provision that Con sress and the several states shall have concurrent power to pass ap- propriate legislation for enforce. ment.''

whether the amendment can now b eenlarged and extended by Con- gress under the guise of a. definition, is one of the issues which will have to be adjudicated by the Supreme Court" he said, together with the scope and meaning of the provision that the Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to pass appropriate legislation for the enforcement of national prohibition"
 MT. Fox paid his respects to the Anti-Saloon League by declaring that ''in opposing every attempt of the people to vote on the question of pro- hibition,'' it had "completely reversed it's first declaration of principles of Americanism and Democracy"

Meanwhile" said MT Fox, the enforcement measure, which IS now known as the National Proh1bltlon Act. will, if sustained by the courts, deprive accused persons of trial by jury and make them prove their ln- nocence. No physician will be able to prescribe alcohol in any form without submitting to vexatious reg ulations which will take so much time and trouble that a busy doctor could not afford to be bothered with them.
 MT. Fox predicted tlAt regulations to carry out the provisions of the act would prohibit the selling of appli- ances for home brewing or distilling, and that Git is even doubtful if the farmer will be able to turn his own apples into cider. his own grapes into wine or his small fruits into cor ,dials."
 MT. Fox contended that the Fed eraI Amendment specifically prohibits Intoxicating beverages" and this was ratified by the states with the understanding that it meant intoxi- eating liquors and nothing else.

Washington, Jan. 16.---Constftu- tional prohibition becomes effective at midnight tonight.
 From 12:01 a m., the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof Into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the Jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is prohibited by the 18th amendment to the constntu- tion, and the United States becomes the first nation of the world to make such provision part of it's basic law. Congress has defined an intoxicating liquor as any beverage containing one-haf of one per cent, more, of alcohol.
 Actually, the advent of constitu- tional prohibition will make little difference in the daily life of the peo- pie of this country, as they have been living under the nationwide wartime ban on alcoholic drinks since last July There have been eager hopes entertained by the thirsty, by distil- lers and by spectators holding large quantities of whiskey for higher prices, that wartime prohibition would be lifted before today in accordance with the recommendation of Presi- dent Wilson to Congress, but Congress
 
 about to begin under authority of the nations Constitution, which prohibit tionists declare will continue in effect for all time inasmuch as it could be revoked only in the same manner in which it came into existence, will per init no opportunity for the replenish- Inent of private cellars or the unload ing of investment stocks. The state of Rhode Island, however, has a case pending in the Supreme Court attack ing constitutional prohibition.
 Thousands of gallons of whiskey remain in bonded warehouses with no chance to be sold at prevailing high prices The liquor can be taken out only for medicinal and scientific uses with the Bureau of Internal Revenue exerting extreme precautions to see that none of 1t is used in violation of the law. During the last two months, many owners of alcoholic liquors. foreseeing no opportunity for sale in this country, have endeavored to rush the surplus to other coun- tries. Lack of shipping space pre- vented more than a fraction being ex- ,xJorted. Cuba and the Bahamas have freceived most of what was sent abroad. There were 70,00O,000 gal Ions on hand when wartime prohibi-
 
 exported is not known but is proba- bly less than 20,OOO,OO0 gallons.
 Attacks on constitutional prohibit ton, began in several states, appa- rently are not viewed with alarm by the reform forces. After the Su- preme Court upheld the constitution ality of wartime prohibition and the measures to enforce it, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of America, an- nounced that the only question left on which the vets could make a fight was whether prohibition was a proper subject for constitutional action and whether the amendment had been adopted legally. He contended there was no doubt on the subject.
 Enforcement of constitutional pro- hibition was lodged by Congress with the Bureau of Internal Revenue which for years has been in close

HELP THE REVENUE COLLECTOR

The information returns now due covering payments of sala- ries, wages, rent, interest, and other income serve as useful data for running down tax dodgers and for checking up millions of returns to see that proper tax is paid.
 Large business houses have been faithfully making these in- formation reports for several years and have cooperated whole heartedly with the governments checking system. The same obligation rests on smaller busi- nesses, and on professional men; also on persons and organiza- tions who employ secretaries, chauffeurs, servants, or persons in any capacity.
 The Revenue Law requiries the filing of these Information Returns in each case where the total of payments during 1919 to any person, partnership, or 6duciary was 5000 or more. Forms 1899 and 1896, on which the returns must be made, are now available at the office of Collectors of Internal Revenue.

HAVE YOU BEEN ENUMERATED.

The Nogales Chamber of Com merce has information to the effect that the census enumera- tion in Nogales has been taken very inefficiently, and that many have been omitted who should have been enumerated, which it is believed will run up into hun dreds. An incomplete or deficient enumeration of the population would be detrimental to the best interest of the city. #
 Itis the duty of the Chamber of Commerce to secure rectifica- ton of errors in enumeration so glaring as those reported; and it will undertake the work of doing so. All citizens and re- sidents are requested to lend their assistance. To that end all knowing themselves omitted, or any member of their households. or employees, who should have been enumerated, are requested to communicate the facts to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, that due effort may be made to secure a proper enumeration of the omitted per sons.
 I. has been reported to the Chamber that in some instances
