THE "RULE OF REASON"

Some years ago the late Chief Jus.
tice White, interpreting in the federal
supreme court the statute known as
tho Sherman law, applied to It a broad
Interpretation that since has become
known as "the rule OF reason" That
there is coming to the courts an ap.
probation of the value of the applca-
tion Of this same rule Of reason" to
other statutes we have had impressed
upon our attention by recent decis.
ion OF the court of appeals of the ad-
joining Columbus district.
or late there has been observed con-
siderable of tendency in the munici.
pal, county and state courts to apply
heavy, not to say excessive, fines to
offenders against the porhibition laws.
This has been something of reflex to
the hue and cry raised when light,
even nominal fines, failed to check
the activities of the tribe of bootleg.
gers. or late the courts have been
imposing excessive fines up to 81, 900,
without any regard or consideration
OF the ability of the offender to pay
the fine.
Now comes the court OF appeals and
applies tn rule of reason" and In so
doing setting aside such heavy fines
and discountenancing the continuance
OF the practice.
Passing upon such case brought
before it on appeal from the court of
the mayor Of Pqua, where n $1,000
fine had been assessed upon a convict.
cd bootlegger, the court OF appeals,
while sustaining the conviction. held
that the fine imposed is too great and
remanded the case for resentence.
The court held I'm effect that the i'm.
position of such fine is inadmissable
for the reason that the man Is Of lin.
tied means.
"The prohibition laws. like other
criminal statutes, should be firmly en-
forced" says the appellate court in its
decision. Nevertheless, they should
not be unduly severe or oppressive In
any given case. 1t IL true that the
large profits of Illicit manufacture and
sale of liQuirs justify the maximum of
the statute. Yet 1t Is equally true that
II the fines are beyond the ability or
resources of the parties to pay and

should be given due consideration II

The Brand law was not sponsored

The statute provides for the state
licensing OF all bakeries and requires
them to maintain high standards OF

bakers. l.. j. Taber, director of the
department of agriculture, declared
the Brand law to be an exceptionally
progressive piece of work.
The purpose of the law IL to provide
sanitary bakeshops. honest weight,
and honest advertising. The state In
spectors enforce the regulations for
sanitation which provide that even
the personality of the baker may be

authorized and anyone found to have
communicable disease Is forbidden
to be employed.
The operation of the Brand law Is

interference
IS MAYORS POLICY
Churches And Theatres May
Exhibit Movies On Sum
days On Same
Conditions

A policy Of non.interference In the
exhibition Of moving pictures on Sun.
day In Mt. Vernon was announced
Saturday by Mayor keigIey.
Since the first exhibition of relig.
ious and semi-religius films at the
Congregational church was started
there has been more or less of an agi.
tation in favor of the opening of the
local picture theatres on Sunday also
There has been also degree of crit.
icism and opposition to such exhibi.
tions even in the churches. 1t is un.
derstood that the members of the min.
isterial association have taken a posi-
tion in opposition and by resolution
have strongly discouraged further ex-
hibitions.
This week, Samuel Hartman as re.
lated in The Banner Wednesday, saw
Mayor Keigley and sought from him
an expression of the position he may
be expected to take should the picture
houses be opened.
The assurance was given that
should the theatres follow the same
policy as is followed at the Congrega.
tional church, the exhibition of relig.
ious or semireligious films only, with
no admission charge and only a col.
lection or free-will Offering taken,
there will be no interference on the
part of the authorities.
The adoption of this policy, howev.,
er, will not limit the freedom Of ac-
tion of$any individual who may wish
to file charges. This applies both to
the picture theatres and the Congre.
gational church. 4
The statute under which action
would have to be taken expressly for.
bisd theatrical performances (moving
pictures have been held by the state
courts to be such). The inhibition
against such exhibitions holds wheth:
er there be an admission charge or
not.
Mayor Keigley takes the position
that the attendance at the Congrega.
tional church, when the films are
shown, indicates very considerable
desire for such in Mt. Vernon. It
would be unwise, then, for him to in.
terfere with the exhibitions. At the
same time he would not undertake to
limit the freedom of action Of any
individual citizen opposed to such ex-
hibitions
1t is understood that the local
moving picture theatre men are indif.
ferent toward opening their places on
Sunday and are indisposed thus far to
take steps further than to satisfy
themselves as to the attitude of May.
or Keigley. (.
The Congregational church has not
announced an exhibition for Sunday
afternoon or evening. Neither have
the theatre men. The situation then,
is a policy of non-interference an.
nounced by Mayor Keigley and pros.
pective continuance of exhibitions
later on the part of the Congregation.
