THIS GOVERNOR IS RIGHT

Governor Charles A. TempletcSls
who was inaugurated chief executive
of Connecticut last week, in his in
augural message had this to say about
the enforcement Of the Prohibition
law:
The tendency altogether TOO
common on the part OF citizens,
otherwise law-abidng, to violate
this particular law is the cause of
grave concern. If the law is
distasteful to the majority of the
American people, it can eventually
be changed. So long as it is with
us, it should be properly enforced
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1923-01-12

power could be held, the Prohibition
forces OF the state would welcome
challenge for a statewide battle on
whether this state saould repeal its
enforcement laws anu set itself in de-
fiance of the Federal Constitution and
Federal law. But that kind of manda-
tory public vote is impossible. Con-
sequently to talk about taking the
Prohibition issue our of politics by
any such procedure is merely another
ono of the Smith flimfams and meant
by him to be convenient way Of
getting an excuse for doing for the
vets what they want him to do on
false plea of the state having COM
manded him to do it. Z"
The important thing for intclligesA
voters in this state to remember is
that the referendum does not exist in
the machinery of this state and is inn
possible under its Constitution. When
the voters went to the battle OF the
ballots in Ohio. it was a battle that
was actual. They, themselves, were
settling the question. They were not
expressing opinions to be followed or
disregarded at will by the members
of the legislature. The people them
selves were the legislature in the case
and their decision was final and with
power as to what their state law
should be. The same thing was true
in California. It was true in Massa
chusetts. But in Illinois, where this
was not true and the people could not
vote with authority, the temperance
forces ignored the beer question OF
the ballot and devoted themselves
wholly to the struggle to elect dry
Legislators and dry congressman and
with unprecedented success.

Ii Mr.. Smith expects people to take
him seriously when he talks about tax
ing the Prohibition enforcement ques-
ton out OF politics in this state by a
futile expression OF opinion" precipi-
tated at the ballot box he has more
faith in the gulliblity OF the public
than ever Mayor Hylan has yet
achieved.
In the first place there can never
be any joining OF real issue in a
statewide vote on any LEGISLA-
TIVE question in this state The
courts OF the state have so construed
the State Constitution as to make that
impossible. There cannot, then, be
any referendum in mis- state which
would carry any authority whatever
or settle anything. Since it cannot
possibly be anything more than a
straw vote, unbinding in its effect. and
having no authoritative bearing either
on legislation or the attitude OF a
single legislator, the temperance
forces of the state could not either
, in reason or in honesty gather. or
spend money for carrying on any such
a sham battle. They would have to
do what they have always as yet had
to do-carry on thcr campai gn and
spend their money IN the effort to
elect members OF the legislature who
would be bound by their publicly
taken positions on the issue of en-
forcement and who alone would have
the free and constitutional power to
determine the issue regardless of any
alleged expression OF opinion
secured by means of a useless and
unmandatory referendum.
How could such .n unauthoritative
submission of any phase OF the Prohi-
bition issue take that issue "out of
politics. An overwhelming dry
majority could not and would not in
fuence in the slightest a vote cast in
the legislature by. representative
from wet district He would still
have to represent ms continents at
the peril OF his political life. A
representative from a dry district
would have to do the same. All the
state would have ont of it therefore,
would be the vast expense OF such a
pretense at getting at the will OF the
state without the money or effort
spent having the slightest possible
