Gov. Sweet
On Enforcement
Of Prohibition

Following are comments and
recommendations of Governor
Sweet on prohibition enforce.
ment:
One Of the primary obliga-
tions Of the stat . is the enforce
msnt Of Law. as we'll as the
maintenance Of order.
The Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead Act are Beng
openly and aagrantly violat ed
by many people who would be
insulted II charged with being
lawbreakers. and yet such is the
case. and no subtle argument
about the rights of the individ-
ual or the unwisdom of the pas
sage of the Constitutions al
Amendment can justify the
breaking Of the prohibition
law.
It 10 not strange after all that
II has been found impossible to
make prohibition effective at
once. The nation could not pass
Immediately from . pacifist at.
titude to . war footing. Disre-
spect and defiance Of the prohi.
bition law were inevitable, but
in time this law will be much
more widely respected and OBJ
served. especially when q new
generation has arisen which
has not known the use of liquor.
Doubtless q certain amount of
bootlegging will always prevail
Just - there will never be q
time when traffic laws will not
be violated.
TIE Attarapt to regulate ths
liquoe traffic long ago proved a
failure and those who advocate
This course by repeating or
changing the present law cannot
point to experience as proof
Of their argument.
The Governors of the states
share with the president con.
current authority to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment. Presi.
deut Harding recently uttered
burning words about the viola
tion of thiS law, and hope that
Colorado viii stand shoulder to
shoulder with the National Gov
ernment in attempting strictly
to enfor :e prohibition.
To this end I ask you to ap-
propriate sufficient funds to
make such enforcement eli act
usl, believe that public opinion
will uphold US in this course and
that gradually We shall have a
more willing acceptance of the
law and 4 greater reapect for its
provisions.
