Golden curls, delicate features and

the infallible tokens of the regular

But Teddy Hayes. Jack Dempsey's

No more. then, need the little Lord

vided for in the national prohibition
act be incorporated in the Texas law.
If also is suggested that a special
state fund be provided for enforcing
fine nrohibition laws. Still another
amendment proposed is one Tor the
confisration of automobiles which ere
being uscd for the transportation OF
iiGnor contrary to the state laws. Inc
Dean law, it is pointed out, is silent
on this question.
Going still further the Anti-Saloon
League would prohibit the sale OF
Jamaica ginger except on a physician
prescription. 3
Disposition of seized liquors is
treated at length inf the pamphlet. IHe
complaint has come from almost every
section of the state, the circular says,
that some officers will arrest BOZ. leg
GERS and moonshiners, take their liquor
from them. and themselves bootleg 1t
ont to the public. 1t is suggested that
all officers, within five days after the
seizure of liquor, shall make a writ
ten report to the county clerk, .giNlEG
the officers name, details of the
seizure and an inventory OF the hqucr
seized. Penalties are provided for iall-
ure TO comply with this provision.
Grant Authority To Remove Officers.
Recommendation also is made that
provision be incorporated in the state
law making it a crime to destroy cvi-
deuce. 1t is very common for boot
rggers. it is claimed, when they see
they are about to be caught, 20 dash
their bottle or jug to the ground and
break it. or pour out the contents OF
the vessel. The federal prohibition act
makes this q crime. Under the pro-
posed amendment, liquor thus DESTROYED
would be held to be prima facle H.
tcxicating fluid and unlawfully posses
Scd.
The claim is made that "Texas is
not on the job" in liquor enforcement.
1t is suggested that a prohibition
commissioner" be appointed, depart
ment of law enforcement or that the
governor and attorney general be made
responsible for the enforcement of the
prohibition laws. Several states, it is
asserted, have adopted one of these
policies. 1t is also recommended that
state officials be empowered to remove
officers who fail to properly enforce
the liquor laws.
F0restaI! Demand For Repeal.
In URGING "team work" the pamphlet
concludes with the following appeal:
1T is not reasonable TO expect that
bill can be prepared that will meet
exactly the preference of each individ-
ual member of the legislature. but the
conditions existing in the enforcement
of prohibition call strongly for aggres-
sive action. If these conditions do
not improve within the next two years
there will be a growing demand for
the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
mcnt on the grounds that it cannot
be enforced. This creates an cmer-
gcncy. Compromises of personal pref
crCnces need to be made. Every friend
Of prohibition should be ready to do
team work to put over an aggressive
program Of legislation. 1t is this
spirit that enables our friends in Con-
grcs3 TO win over. the strong opposi-
ton OG those opposed to prohibition"

URGE PASSAGE
STRICT LIQUOR
LAW IN TEXAS
Anti-Saloon League Sounds
Legislators On Subject
Of Drastic Act.
STATE NOT on JOB
Propose to But Person in Jail
Unless He Tells Where
He Obtained Liquor.

Radical amendments to The Dean law,
Texas prohibition act, aea proposed
in circular published by. the Anti
Saloon League of Texas, with headIuar-
tiers at Dallas, copy Of which has
been furnished to BeXar county lcgiS-
lators. These amendments are cN-
trcmely drastic and if adopted would
make the Texas law even more far
reaching than the VolsteGd act. The
suggestions contained il the circular
are compiled from the prohibition laws
0f other states and if adopted, it Is
claimed, would enable atat1 officials TO
strictly enforce prohibition.
Perhaps the most radical of the
amendments proposed IS one which
would compel a man taken into Gus
tCdy on charges of intoXicatiOn to
divulgc from whom the liquor was
purchased. 4 Vermont law, touching
upon this subject is recommended us
q model one for Texas. This statute
provides that person convicted of
he crime of intOxicatiOn shall, under
cath, disclose to the court the place
where and the person of whom the
liquor producing such intOXication was
obtained, and the circumstances at
tending it, land if lie does not so
disclose, he shall be committed to the
Jail of the county ut the expense of
the state until he so disclOscS." Prose
cutiOn Of witnesses for perjury also
is recommended.
Fine For First 0ffense.
Another amendment suggested for the
Dean act is adding a penalty for those
found in the possession of liquor who
at the same time carry firearms. \
New Mexico law on the subject. max
ing possession of liquor and firearms
at the same time an OffCnSc punish
able by a fine of not more than $500
nor more than fifteen years in the
penitentiary is cited as model one.
1t is also suggested that the Dean
law be amended so as to define in
tOXicants as those liquors containing
more than onc-half of one per cent
alcohol, instead of one per cent as the
Texas law now provides.
The provision OF the. Dean law pro-
viding only for a penitcntiary zen
tcnce in case of liquor convictions is
questioned. the circular pointing out
that this extreme penalty is sometimes
a deterrent factor in securing cOnyic-
tons before jurics. 1t is suggested
that Il fine of not less than $2.n he
provided for, this fine to be doubled
on each successive conviction and that
in extreme cases the penitentiary SEN
tence be added. The penitentiary sem
tence is good for the "buotlcgger, =" the
circular points ont, but does not serve
its purpose when applied to TIE
lesser offender.
