Governor Believes
In Heavy Penalties
For Drunken Drivers

Gov. Percival p. Baxter in a re-
cent interview said that he believes
that the new automobile enforce
ment laws which are now in effect
will go far towards making our high
ways safer for those who use them
lawfully.
"As traffic increases it becomes
necessary to make more stringent
regulations to control 1t, and every
effort will be made by the highway
enforcement officers of the State to
apprehend offenders anG see that
they are taken before the courts and
punished" continued Coz. Baxter.
There is. no excuse for careless or
reckless driving and if the lives of
those who indulge in it were the
would not be particularly serious,
but the lives of innocent people are
constantly b, placed in jeopardy by
many who operate cars on the roads
of Maine.
"Those who offend against our
automobile laws are not entitled to
any special consideration, and this is
especially true when automobiles are
operated by drivers under the influ-
ence of liquor. My views on this
subject are well known. en-
deavored at the last session of the
legislature to have these laws
strengthened, for I believe that
man who uses liquor and who drives
a car while under it's influence
should be deprived Of his operators
license for a period of not less than
three years or even more and also
should be heavily fined and given a
Jail sentence as well.
Those who break our road laws
and use liquor will receive no
clemency from the present chief ex-
ecutive, Regardless Of the station

Bingham-Jackman
and Quebec Road
in Good Condition

The State Highway Commission
are in almost daily receipt of in
quiries relative to the condition OF
Tie road between Bingham and the
Quebec boundary line. by way of
Jackman. The commission have re-
Gently asked Supervisor Libby. who
has charge of this road, for a special
report on it and word came to the
department Monday from Mr.. Libby
that this road is in the best condi-
ton it has ever been and that it is
safer for travel than at any former
time.
The commission did considerable
work on this road last year in West
Forks and Sandy Bay Plantations,
widening and gravellipg narrow
places. This year the commission is
working at West Forks and Johnson
Mountain and also in Jackman Plan
tation. The work is kept passable
for traffic at all times. =
There are few narrow places be-
tween Bingham and The Forks, in
Moscow and Caratunk Plantations,
but by careful driving one can nego-
tiate these places in safety.
The drive up the Kennebec valley
is one of the most beautiful in the
State of Maine. 1t is the direct road
between Augusta and the city Of

of the offenders in the community,
or of their wealth, or their political
influence, it will be useless for them
to appeal to the present governor.
Once they are apprehended and
convicted, they must pay the penalty
which the court imposes upon them.
Under our present system when
fined and sentenced to Jail in the
lower courts, prisoners have a right
to appeal to higher courts. This of
course sometimes delays the execu-
ton of the sentence, until the case
can be tried again. It this stage
such cases are entirely within the
jurisdiction of the court. and the
governor has no authority over them.
If the sentence of the lower court is
sustained. the offenders then are re-
quired to serve sentences and pay
fines in accordance with the courts
decree. and there will be no pardons
granted in such cases."

Gasoline Tax
Law Now in Effect

State Auditor E. D. Hayford has
reason to believe that there are a
number Of distributors of gasoline
who have not yet filed their applica-
tons as required under the gasoline
tax law which went into effect in the
State July Z. There is a heavy fine
for not doing this.
Mr.. Hayford said Monday that
those getting gasoline from the VAL
voline, Standard, Texas and Gulf
concerns do not have to get distri-
butors' licenses, as these big COM
panies pay the tax direct, but all
other dealers in gasoline must get
licenses. Tax will not have to be
paid on gasoline purchased and put
into the tanks July or previous.

BOOTLEG KING SAYS
IRRESPONSIBLE.
"Mike de Pike" Heitier, on
Way to Prison, Advises
Stopping Rum at Source.
BY j. II. EODER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. October 24.-'"The Vol
stead act might just as well be wiped
of the statute books unless the fed
eral government takes the initiative,
keeps taking it and goes through
with it to the finish. The biggest and
most efficient and most honest mu-
nicipal and state police forces in the
world cannot enforce prohibition un-
less the government at Washington
stops all kinds of booze at the
source" -
No, the speaker is not Gov. Pinchot
of Pennsylvania, who has been
preaching greater federal activity for
the past few weeks. 1t is Mike" de
Pike" Heitler, famous at various
times for many things-most recently
for his activities as a Chicago boot
leg king.
Mike de Pike starts Friday for
months for conspiracy to violate the
Volstead act in connection with the
shipment of a carload of whisky
from Louisville to Chicago. With
him go Nathan Perlam and Nanny
Greenberg, to serve fifteen and twelve
months, respectively, for the same Of
Tense.
Blame for Others.
Heitler consented to give his ad-
vice on prohibition enforcement after
he had qualified as an expert witness
by telling the writer in the United
States marshaps office that he, Per-
lam and Greenberg were the real
whisky ring in Chicago.
Sure, l sold a lot OF whisky" said
the jaunty, dapper and well dressed
Mike de Pike. But who sold it to
me, and where are the guys that
bought it? The law says they are
the man l sold it to as the man who
starts it on its way to the parched
throats. 1 don't know to this day
where that last lot came from, but
the owners of that distillery are still
out in the free.
1T is as easy as eating a poached
egg to stop ii all. If the federal gov
ernment would only put the screws
on the places where it leaks out and
then check up on practically 80 per
cent of the federal agents who are
getting their pals creased to the eX-
tent of million year, there would
not be anything for the local cops to
do but pinch stick-ups and stop
speeders. -....
Hadn't / ought to know? 1 made
q success of 1t and was good at it.
j would not have been so good IL
hadn't known how to get the stuff
without a pinch
Says He's Not Squealer.
Heitler made 1t clear that he wasn't
going to '.sQueal' as to the identity
of the federal officials and higher-ups
to whom he lays the breakdown of
enforcement. Anyhow, he declared
the federal authorities know better
than / do"
Heitler has long been prominent in
the West Side vice district. He was
convicted some time ago, but quietly
faded out of the picture until he got
good and ready" to give himself up.
He startled the whisky ring and boot
leggers generally when he breezed
into the marshals office with a pleas
ant smile for. everybody and surren-
dered. saying. the other boys'll be
