LEGAL NOTES
Superintendent
and B.

$3.50 of the Revised Statutes, which pro-
yides for the forfeiture of conveyance
used in the transportation or removal of
commodities upon which the Internal
Revenue tax has not been paid has been
repealed by section 20 of the Volstead
Act, providing for the forfeiture of ve-
hicles used in the transportation of la-
uors in violation OF that act The impor-
lance of the decision lies in the TACT that
under the Internal Revenue laws an abso-
lutte forfeiture of all interest is provided,
while under the National Prohibition Act
the interest of innocent lien holders is ex-
cmpt from forfeiture. In most instances
automobiles used by rum-runners when
seized are found to be literally plastered
with liens, SO that the amount of the
bootleggcr's interest forfeited under the
National Prohibition Act has been small.
In many jurisdictions the government has
been proceeding under the Internal Reve-
nue. statutes in cases where the facts JUS
tilted.
There are number of other cases in
volving the construction of indictments,
the law of conspiracy and other technical
questions. Some of the questions in these
cases have already been passed on by the
Supreme Court, the appeals have been
taken for the purpose of delay, in others
the questions will probably be found to be
moot when the cases are reached for argu-
ment.

MUST GUARD SHIPMENTS
Interstate Commerce Commission Rules
Roads Must Guard Liquor Shipments
Whether at a Loss or Profit

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has ruled that railroads must guard liquor
shipments whether at a profit or loss.
The issue was raised by rate schedule
which the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road filed last June cancelling its previous
arrangement for taking liquor ii less than
carload lots for shipment. The road still
was prepared to take carload shipments
and the commission. after protests had
been received from shippers, instituted an
investigation which terminated with the
order quoted above.
In pleading for the right to refuse the
small shipments, the road introduced evil
dence to show that it had collected $500
for ten-case shipment of liquor for
Frar kfort, KY, and had been forced to
spend $40 in policing the movement.
Another statement said a shipment to
Sioux City, Iowa, paid revenue OF $4.48
and cost $5.45 for guarding.

CURTAIN ON 4 POINT 4 BEER
Premier Ferguson Quoted in Detroit
Paper "A to Be Abolished and
Govt Control Substituted

According to an Ottawa dispatch OF Oc-
tober 81 in the Detroit Free Press, re-
vision of the Ontario prohibition laws was
forecast by Premier Howard Ferguson of
Ontario Mr.. Ferguson intimated that
four point four beer will be abolished and
that Ontario will return to local option or
a system of government control of beer,
wine and spirits. The Premier stated that
there would be no vote on the subject but
that when his government decided to act
it would take sole responsibility.
This is confirmation of the suspicion
that existed among the drys at the time
the four point four policy was inaugu-
rated, namely, that it was the first step to-
ward the restoration of the liquor traffic.

Council of the prohibition question, the
recently published report of which aroused
widespread debate. Dr. Johnson said,
Until there has been an honest, adequate
and sustained endeavor on the part of the
government to demonstrate the merits of
prohibition as national policy, all talk
of liberalizing the Nolstead act would fall
on deaf ears"

GENEVA CONFERENCE
Meet With Purpose of Eventually
Getting Questions Before League
of Nations

A conference was recently held in &C.
neva, Switzerland, to consider three trou-
blesome International questions with a
view to eventually getting these questions
before the League of Nations. The ques-
tons under discussion were\(D Protec-
ton of native races, % Tendency of GER
tain nations to override weaker nations
prohibition laws, and (3) Smuggling.
The League of Nations had representa-
tives present to observe the proceedings
and listen to the discussions The United
States was represented by a delegation
headed by Bishop James Cannon. Jr.
There were representatives from twenty
four European nations, number of them
officially appointed by their respective
governments. The American Issue cor

Cling because the question of smuggling
occupied the greater part of the delega-
TONS time.
1t may come as surprise to some peo-
pie to learn that the smuggling problem
as 1t affects the u. S. was scarcely con-
sidered, for the reason that the confer
ence considered that the smuggling evil
IN this country is inhnitesimal compared
with the evil existing in those countries
around the Baltic Sea. Various new re-
publics OF Central Europe have enacted
stringent state monopoly laws accom-
panied by taxation-some high and some
moderate. The restrictions and degrees
OF taxation, not being uniform, have cre-
ated numerous margins of opportunity
tor the smuggler and bootlegger to work.
The smuggling of liquor is also yexa-
tious problem for Sweden and NORWAY.
thus it IS apparent that liquor SMUGGLING
IS not product of the prohibition law.
These countries do not have absolute
prohibition but all are operating under a
regulatory system of one kind or another.
