Would Make Illinois Wet

The Daily News on April 20 printed
the following:
The Igoe bill is sponsored by the
Illinois division OF the National Asso-
eiation Opposed to Prohibition, Ct
which A. D. Plamondon, Chicago, is
chairman.
"If enacted into law the measure
would automatically make Illinois a
wet state if at any time the Eight
eenth Amendment to the fedora, Con
stitution IS repealed, Notwithstanding
the existence on the statute books of
the state CT search-and seizure act
and prohibition act
While the above article from the
Daily News states that the Illinois
prohibition act will be repealed in case
of the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment the fac, is that if the
Igoe- DAILY Bill becomes law the life
of the Illinois prohibition act would
depend upon the Nolstead act. The
Association Opposed to the Prohibi-
ton Amendment does not hope 10
secure the repeal OF the Eighteenth
Amendment but it is centering its
forces upon securing a repeal OF the
Nolstead act through the election OF
a wet Congress next time.
Something Wrong Here
The platform of the Association
Opposed to the Prohibition Amend
ment declares that the liquor traffic
should be regulated locally by the
states. In this their platform is out
of accord with their purpose to make
the laws of Illinois harmonizc with
the federal law i'll case prohibition en-
forcement legislation should be
changed CT repealed by Congress
This reveals the insincerity of the wet
organization. Although they are
fighting IN Illinois to make the state
wet in accord with national laws they
hope to secure the Association OPP
posed to Prohibition is at the same
time protesting to believe that the
states themselves should control the
liquor traffic. In other words they
want the states to conform with ma
tional laws when national laws are
wet. But they do not want the
states to conform to federal legisla
ton when federal legislation is dry.
Vets Fight Hard
The introduction of the Igoe bill in
the legislature followed fight in the
Judiciary Committee on April 18 in
which all prohibition bills were voted
down. The vote in the Committee
against reporting wet and dry bills
favorably was % to l3. This action
affected the following bills and res
olutions:
House bill 10 (Webcr), repeating
the search and seizure law
House bill 20 (Weber), repeating
sthe prohibition law.

Congress May Act.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the AntiSaloon league, announced
that a bill would be introduced as soon
as congress reconvcnes to ban liquor
on American ships everywhere, and his
statement was endorsed by dry leaders
in Congress.
A. d. Lasker, Chairman of the ship
ping board is quoted as saying, that
as matter of policy no attempt would
be made to take advantage of the SUI
premc courts ruling in the dispensing
of liquor on American vessels. He
stated that orders to resume the sale
OF liquor TO passengers on American
ships would not be issued without ex-
press instructions from President Har-
ding or the entire shipping board,

Vets for Igoe Bill

Leaders of the local branch OF the
National Association Opposed to Pro-
hibtion announced plans TO push
measures favorable to their cause al
Springfield.
The vets expressed determine
ton to procure appointment of an
impartial committee by the legis-
lature to review the entire prohibition
enforcement situation in Illinois.
They also seek to gain passage OF
a measure which, in effect would
place state enforcement on the same
footing as national. This bill as out
lined, will provide that state laws be
so amended as not to conflict with the
various provisions of federal prohib!-
tiou statutes

tible OF no limitation not imposed by
itself. Any restriction upon it. de-
irving validity from an external
source, would imply diminution of
its sovereignty to the extent of the
restriction, and an investment OF that
sovereignty to the same extent in that
power which could impose such re-
striction.'
Conclusions CT tie Corrt.
The conclusions OF the coart are
set forth in the following language
Examining tie act as a who.c, we
think it shows very plainly. first tfat
il i, intended 10 be operative through
ont the territorial limits OF The United
States, with the single exception stated
in the Canal Zone provision; secondly,
that it is not intended to apply to
domestic vessels when outside the ter
ritorial waters OF the United States,
and, thirdly, that it is intended TO
hppi9 ~ tll illOAAIldtiL NtSStlS, AllttiIcr
foreign or domestic. when within those
waters, save as the Panama Canal
Zone exception provides otherwise.
In so saying we do not mean to
imply that congress is without power
to regulate the conduct OF domestic
merchant ships when on the high seas,
or to exert such control over them
when in foreign waters as may be
affirmatively or tactly permitted by
the territorial sovereignty, for it long
has been settled that congress does
hold such power over them Lord vs..
Steamship, 1O2, L. S. Sal; the Abby
Dodge, 223 U. S. loo, 10.
But we do mean that the national
prohibition act discloses that it is in
tended only to enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment and limits its field of OPP
Grafton, like that of the amendment,
to the territorial limits of the United
States"
