oSforing, and IL used with any degree
of frequency he believes 1T would send
many men to their graves.
Regarding the opposition of mahy
influential men to the prohibition law,
Mr.. Baker cited an instance which
happened in Police Court a few days
ago. One of the leading attorneys in
the city. in the presence of a court
room filled with men and women who
were not of the highest type of Wash
ingtonians, loudly berated the prohi-
bition law and said that 1t was un-
thinkable that Congress would shove
a thing like this. which was not want
ed, down the throats of the people.
This speech did more to produce re-
sentiment against the law amNlg the
persons in the courtroom, than any
thing that could be done, Mr.. Baker
believes. because here was a man sup
posed to be learned in the law. loudly
denouncing the law before an audi
ence that was made up largely Of
actual or potential lawbreakers.
Mr.. Baker is not in sympathy with
the proposal of the Internal Revenue
Bureau to allow WINE and beer to be
manufactured and sold on physicians
prescriptions. This will open the door
to more corruption and bribery. he
thinks. If~wines and beer are to be
Hc pclicNcs thdt IL
should be given to everyone who
wants 1t, in moderation, and not open
the way for graft that the whiskey
has.
FLEA FOR DRY LAW.
He cited an instance in New York
city, where a man who had been deal
ing in whiskey made so much money
that he was afraid to deposit 1t in a
bank and rented a safe deposit vault
to store it. When this man was ar
rested for a liquor violation, he had
several thousand dollars on his per-
son and thousands in the bank, in
addition to the money he had locked
up in the safe deposit box.
Whether society was prepared for
the prohibition law or not, Mr.. Baker
said he was not prepared to say. This
law now is looked upon by many as
too drastic, he said. but these same
persons, in years to come will look
back and probably say that it was
not drastic enough.
Mr.. Baker also took a fling at the
persons who have been criticising the
prohibition law as a violation of the
personal liberties OF the people. Every
law, he said takes something away
from the people, and the prohibition
law is no greater an anti-personal lib
erty law than are some others.

on evasion of payment of the proper rev. enpe to the state. There was an aver age overload lof 100 per cent. on the for ty trucks held in the recent arrests. Bas- ed on the regular scale of truck regis tration fees, the owners should have paid an aggregate of s4,SO0 more than they actually did pay for their registration.
 By a joint ruling. of the highway and motor vehicle departments, owners can register their trucks to carry as much more over the manufacturers rated ca pacity as the manufacturers will certi- fy as mechanically safe up to 25.000 pound limit fixed by law. This Is because the departments recognize the existence of a large number of commercial motor vehicles with safety factors sufficient to warrant loads in excess of those for which they are rated. Overloaded trucks whose drivers are unable to show cer- tifcate from the motor vehicle depart ment allowing the excess weight will be held by the state police wherever ap- prehended.
