INFANT MORTALITY DECREASE

Infant mortality has decreased 48 per
cent in Michigan since 1921, according to
an announcement by the State Depart
ment of Health on June %, 1925, says the
Lansing Capital News.
Credit for this showing is due to oper-
alton of state public health experts under

says. The death rate was 70 thousand
in 1921.
It was 722 thousand in 1924 Under

amount is provided by federal aid, plus
$4,000 bonus, making SOS, 200 available

LEGAL NOTES

Act in respect to denatured alcohol un-
der which these indictments were found
exceed the power of Congress. Whether
this is sound contention is the only
question for our decision.
'It is said that the Eighteenth Amend
ment prohibits the manufacture, sale and
transportation of Intoxicating liquor for
beverage purposes only, and that as de-
natured alcohol is not usable as bever-
age, the amendment does not give to
Congress authority to prevent or regulate
its sale, and that such authority remains
power exclusively. :.
THE argument is without force.
The power of the federal government,
granted by the Eighteenth Amendment,
to enforce the prohibition of the manu-
facture, sale and transportation of intoxi-
eating liquor carries with it power to en-
act any legislative measures reasonably
adapted to promote the purpose. The de-
maturing in order to render the making
and sale of industrial alcohol compatible
VAIN I4iS Oh OF
alcohol for beverage purposes is not al
ways effective. The ignorance of some,
the craving and the hardihood of others,
and the fraud and cupidity of still others,
often tend to defeat its object. It helps
the main purpose of the Amendment,
therefore, to hedge about the making and
disposition of the denatured article every
reasonable precaution and penalty to pre-
vent the proper industrial use of it from
being perverted to drinking it. The con-
clusion is fully supported by decisions of
this Court in Jacob Rupert V. Cafey,

PRAISES DRY LAWS EFFECTS
Governor of Oregon is Giving Law
Strict Enforcement; People
More Prosperous

Peter Gulbrandsen of Denmark who is
touring this country for the purpose of
observing tirst-hand the effects of prohi-
bition, recently interviewed Governor
Pierce of Oregon for the Afholdsdag-
bladet, Danish temperance daily, from
which the following are excerpts:
l asked the governor if any great
change had taken place in Oregon since
prohibition had taken effect
Conditions in Oregon have been
greatly improved" replied the governor.
If it came to vote on prohibition in
this state we would pass it with a major
ity OF two to one-yes l dare say, ma
jority of three to one.
I'VE are working for a better and
Stricter enforcement.
The time when no business transac-
ton could be concluded without drinking
lies far back in the past. Look at that
picture" said the governor, and he
pointed to picture on the wall of
sleeping, intoxicated horse dealer who
was lying on seat close to his horse,
with his young son as a weeping on
locker.
Il have seen this incident hundreds of
times, and now this too, is fortunately a
thing of the past.
Years ago I came to the Capitol while
members of Congress were lettering
around in a state of drunkenness. This
exists no more.
Our present age with its feverish liv-
ing-remember we live in the age of the
acknowledgements clear brains and an
unimpaired nervous system. There is no
more room for liquor and the man who
drinks isolates himself. He is not reck-
oned with in business life any longer.
The present time demands undmmed in
tellectual power and prohibition has made
people both stronger and better.
Nobody is accepted for service in the
state unless he be total abstainer. / de-
mand total abstinence of everyone en-
p1oyed by the state, and no man OF wo-
man is given employment before a pledge
to total abstinence. / am myself an ar
dent prohibitionist and consider it of
the greatest Importance to enforce pro-
hibition to the letter of the law
There is far greater prosperity and
much greater contentment among the
working people in Oregon now than be
fore prohibition became effective and
there is much more money in circulation
among the people. The workers can at
ford to buy automobiles and their chill
dren are better dressed than formerly.
The savings banks deposits have in
creased very considerably and could cite
many more illustrations indicating the
change. 1t was good thing that we had
liquor driven away from our people. I
am devoting the remaining part of my
administration period to work looking to
stricter enforcement of the prohibition
law"

COURT USTAINS
POWER OF CONGRESS TO REG
ULATE INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL
UNDER EIGHTEENTH AMEND
MENT.


The Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution prohibits the manufacture,
transportation or sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors for beverage purposes.
A number of questions have arisen con-
corning the extent of authority this con-
fers on Congress to regulate the manu-
facture and sale of liquors for non-bev-
erage purposes.
The United States Supreme Court had
occasion to consider this question in the
validity of the provision of the Volstead
Act regulating the prescribing of intoxi-
eating liquors for medicinal purposes. In
these cases the court sustained the acts of
Congress.
The last case to be considered by the
Supreme Court upon this question is that
of Selzman VS.. United States, decided
June l, 1925. This involved the validity
of the provisions of the law and the regu
lations issued pursuant thereto, govern
ing the manufacture, distribution and sale
of industrial alcohol. The Supreme Court
in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft unani-
mous1y sustained the provisions ofthe Act
in question. The Court in its opinion said:
"Selzman was also convicted under four
counts of the second indictment of vio-
1ating Section of Title II of the act for
bidding the sale of denatured alcohol for
beverage purposes or under circunl-
stances from which the seller may rea-
sonabfy infer the itnention of the pur-
chaser to use it for such purpose.
"This is a writ of error under Section
238 of the Judicial Code, on the ground
that the provisions of The Prohibition
