COMMON SENSE
ROAD BUILDING

H. l.. Hoard, publisher of the JEFF
ferson County Union, Fort Atkinson.
Wisconsin. has been carrying on a
for what might be called common
sense methods in highway construc-
ton. He makes the statement that
the W essential features in road
building are drainage that will al
low the water to run off the surface
n a grade sufficiently easy so that
a load may be moved over it in a
satisfactory manner. He points out
the danger and expense of digging
great bitches at the side of the road,
banking the center up like a rail
road grade and then intersecting
such grade at regular intervals with
narrow culverts which offer danger
Gus obstruction to traffic.
Mr.. Hoard's theory is that where
ever possible the road grade should
be more like a street, extended
where practical from fence to fence.
travelling or hard-surfacing need
be no wider than at present. If an
automobile or team was forced off
the beaten track 1T would not have
to plunge into a ditch as is the
case at present on too many miles
of highway construction. Instead of
building "motes" along the sides
OF hundreds of miles of well packed
macadam roads, which are on fairly
good grades, it would be more prac-
tical to grade the road ON either
side of the center and use the solid
old macadam or rock as a base for

Aside from criminal prosecutions there
are two other important phases of prohi-
bition enforcement. The first is seizing
and libeiling rum-running vessels and
their cargoes which is fraught with
many difficulties.
Another difficult phase OF prohibition
enforcement is the abatement of nui-
sances by proceedings in equity. These
are known as paddock cases. As this
feature of the prohibition act has proved
one of the most effective weapons of en-
forcement and is the best means of clean
ing UP liquor-law violations with the least
court congestion, it is being resorted to
with increasing frequency.
Some of the largest and most preten-
tious restaurants in the United States,
patronized only by the very wealthy,
have been 'padlocked' by the department
of justice. In one week seven of the
best-known cafes in the theater district of
New York were padlocked."

a resolution deplorlng the amount OF
law neutrality-suspicious. prohibition law
violation-in Sangamon county, calling
upon the sheriff and states attorney to
use all means within their power to close
roadhouses and assuring them that the
board of supervisors will be behind them
in all of their efforts in this direction, was
passed by the supervisors at their meet
ing.
The resolution was passed quietly by
acclamation and with comparatively little
discussion.
o. 2. Irwin introduced the resolution
and moved its adoption. 2. A. Weisbrodt
of Mechanicsburg was the seconder. Rev.
Abram G. Bergen and Attorney Harling-
ton Wood spoke i'll favor of it. The reso-
luton follows:
Whereas, During the past several
months, large number of roadhouses of
bad repute and various other questionable
resorts have come into existence in terri
tory near to and surrounding the city of
Springfield; and
Whereas, 1t is commonly reported and
generally believed that many of such
places are being operated by persons
against whom injunctions have been OBJ
tanned in the county and federal courts
for the illegal sale of Intoxicating liquor,
and that at such places Intoxicating liq-
uor is openly sold and public gambling
carried on in fragrant violation of the law,
and holdups, robberies and other criminal
practices have frequently occurred at such
unlawful resorts; and
Whereas, Recent Investigations by the
duly accredited officials of the United
States government have disclosed the ex-
istence of stills and other devices for the
unlawful manufacture and storage of in
toxicating liquor in great quantities in the
country districts near to said city of
Springfield; and
Whereas, The earnest and vigorous
cooperation and activity of all officials,
national state, county and municipal, is
essential to the effective enforcement of
the law, and the preservation of the good
name of this community; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, By the board of supervisors
of Sangamon county, Illinois, that we
deeply deplore the existence of such law
less conditions prevailing in this county,
and we do hereby call upon and request
the several county officials charged with
the duty of enforcing the law, to employ
all necessary and proper means to eradi-
cate this condition of lawlessness from
our midst, and to apprehend and prose-
cute any and all guilty persons respon-
sible therefore; and be it further
Resolved That in any and all efforts
which said officials of this county may
undertake and perform to accomplish the
objects and purposes aforesaid we hereby
pledge our most earnest cooperation and
support, moral, financial and otherwise, to
the end that this county may be forever

past, and worthy to remain The political

Following his address in which he APP
pealed to workers to join the wet or

bership cards and asked those present to

dues ($l00) when notified"
Following the public meeting at which
the local branch of the wet association
was publicly launched, private meeting
OF the wet leaders was held to form an
organization committee. The member
ship of this committee was announced
through the newspapers the next day.
OF the thirteen members, at least five
were formerly saloon keepers, including
Mike Walsh, John McGrath, and Pat
rick Allen. Frank Reisch, of the Reisch
Brewing Company, and Edward Eek,
formerly a wholesale liquor dealer are
also on the organization committee The
Association Opposed to the Prohibition
Amendment has always claimed to be
free from domination by the ld-time
liquor interests. The membership of its
Springfield branch is striking and posi-
tive proof that this wet association rep
resents the same old wet group under a
different name.
Want Old System Restored
The arguments advanced by the speak
ers at the organization meeting also re-
vealed that the real objective of this
group is not beer and wine but the res
toration of the entire traffic Every ar
gument was an argument against the en-
tire prohibition program. The publicity
program and methods of the wet inter
tsts of the state were illustrated by what
happened in Springfield. The Spring
field Journal printed several editorials
opposed to the wet association. In reply
Mr. ]. M. Pfeiffer, chairman of the or
ganization committee, issued a state
ment reviewing the arguments of the
vets and containing a severe attack
against prohibition. This statement oc-
cupying about one column was pub

CRIMINAL CASES


Fines tan average of more
than $450,O00 per month"; $l5,374, IA
Jail sentences $3.50 years, 10 months,
8 days.
Cases pending on April 80, 1924. 1928
Figures show that Approximately 80 per
cent of the cases terminated resulted IN
convictions. They show also that for
each conviction there was an average fine
of $l7o, and an average Jail sentence of
twenty-six days This is a notable rec
ord, as penalties provided for violations
of the national prohibition act are rela-
lively small.
mo Jail sentences are allowed for first
offepses except where the violations is for
selling or manufacturing. Even in the
case of second and third offenses the
maximum penalty is usually set at two
years Imprisonment. The internal reve-
nue. laws relating to Intoxicating liquor
prescribe heavier penalties, however, and
the department of justice has made use of
these laws whenever applicable. In this
way it has been able to mete out to many
notorious bootleggers fines and terms of
imprisonment more nearly in proportion
to their offenSes.
at is evident on all sides, from the
monthly reports made by the United
States attorneys to the department of JUS
tice, that the courts, instead of dealing
leniently with liquor-law violators, are
imposing the maximum penalty in the
majority of cases The following figures
indicate the increasing vigor with which
the law is being enforced:
Jail sentences-Fiscal year ending June
80, 1922, 1852 years.
Jail sentences-Fiscal year ending June
80. 1923, zoos years.
Jail sentences-Fiscal year ending June
80 1924 (6rst ten months), 2.675 years.
Heavy Jail Sentences Urged
AT all times during the present admin
istration, the department of justice has
urged the United States attorneys to rec
ommeud heavier Jail sentences, with the
result that during the past ten months
there has been a marked increase in such
sentences, with April, the last month for
which complete statistics are available.
leading with aggregate Jail sentences to-
falling 423 years, FIVE months and eleven
days. and with total fines amounting to
$o4o, 1oo.4S This is an average sentence
