Visions of Mexican instructions

the report was more or less constant
from year to year. showing only slight
fluctuations, with a tendency toward
a gradual rise commensurate with the
increase in the number Of automo-
biles. Coincident, however, with the
enactment Of the Volstead Act, which
became effective at the end of 1919
drunken drivers - began to increase
amazingly. and the increase has con-
tinued year by year since then.
IF this sort Of thing happened on
ly in 4 few instances 1t might be at
tributable to purely local causes; but
the fact that 1t has occurred every
where, almost without exception, leads
to the confident belief that it IL due to
one general cause.-the Volstead Act
with which 1t was co-incideat.
ITO be exact, motor vehicAs In the
United States have increased from
1919 to 1924 only 1872 per cent, whereas
drunken drivers increased in the same
period about 354 per cent on the aver
age. The difference of 222 per cent is
clearly attributable to the Volstead
Act.
THE reason for this enormous in
crease in drunken drivers seems fair
ly clear. After prohibition, one could
not purchase intoxicants, or at least
as previously. This necessitated pro-
curing an ample supply case or
bottle-in advance. and IL was then
toted around on the hip or in the car
and consumed in transit. Drinking
before prohibition was largely done
indoors; and after prohibition, from
a flask on the road.
THE most pathetic feature Of II all
il that prohibition was intended to
stop this very thing. One Of the
strongest arguments for prohibition
ran as follows: This IL motorized
age, and the automobile must be kept
out Of the hands Of intoxicated people;
therefore, ban tntoxicants.
THE result, unfortunately. has been
precisely the contrary to what the
prohibitionists intended and prophe-
sled"
Authoritative statistics with respect
to the increase Of drunkenness among
minors are scarcer than figures for
other classes, the report adds, but II
cites examples Of the increase from
records Of the washington. .. G. pc,
lice department to prove Its case:
Arrests Of persons under % years
old average A q year for the four pre-
prohibition years 1914-1917. A bone
dry law was enacted for Washington
before national prohibition became ell
fective and Immediately youthful
drunkenness increased. In 1913 1t rose
to Is and by 1924 had reached 282, an
increase Of $40 per cent above the pre-
prohibition level"
One of the interesting things" not
ed in the report as disclosed by the
survey was that while conditions in
the wet states are now about the
same a. in 1914, In former dry states
which had some sort Of prohibition
law before the 18th Amendment was
adopted, conditions are worse today
under the bone-dry Volstead Act. than
under their own state dry laws"
Indiana was given as an example,
indianapolis being credited with 1916
arrests for drunkennessh 1924 against
1921 in 1914, South Bend 1925 against
1913 and Whiting 236 as compared with
76.
