Cost to Enforce Dry
Law in New York Put
At $40, O76,225 Yearly

The Federal Government must
spend $70,076,125 year to secure
effective enforcement Of the ma
tional prohibition law in New York
State, United States Attorney
Emory r. Buckner, of New York
city, told the Senate Prohibition
Committee in supplemental brief
made public today.
He based his estimates, which
were requested by the committee,
on continuation OF the present
system OF jury trials OF all prohibit
ton cases and lack Of any State
enforcement law.
If jury trials are abolished and
all bootlegging cases decided by
police" judges, Buckner estimated,
the cost Of efficient enforcement
would be $20.021,750 a year.
In the southern district or New
York alone, he said, the cost would
be 81, 441,000 a year II jury trials
were abolished.
Under similar conditions, the cost
would be $5,720,60 a year in the
eastern district and $2,460,25O each
in the northern and western dis
the prosecutor declared, effective
enforcement in each OF these dis
tricts would cost 3.5 times as much,
or a total Of $7O.076,125 year for
the whole State.
Steps to strengthen prohibition
enforcement on the Pacific and Gulf
Coasts virtually were completed to.
day by Gen. l.. G.. Andrews, dry chief.

WE Is WIN POINT
IN CONGRESS

BY WILLIAM II. HUTCHINSON
The moot question Of whether
Congress has the power to author
lie 3 national referendum on pro-
hibition Ieaped into prominence
again today on Capitol Hill when
the Senate Judiciary Committee
made public q series Of rebuttai
arguments growing out Of the re-
cent hearings, including one by
Frederick p. Lee, the Senate,s
own legislative counsel, declaring
that Congress has such power
under the Constitution.
The drys, led By Wayne 3.
Wheeler, generalissin1O Of the
nti-Sal0On League, have We
hemently denied that Congress
possessed such power.
Can Also Provide Funds
IN 6,OO0.word brief, citing
numerous judicial decisions, Lee
held that Congress not only has the
power to direct b national referen-
dunn, but that Il can also appropri-
ate moneys to finance such an UNI
dertaling because 1t Is the sole
Judge of what Il shall spend ION
the public welfare.
Lee. who passes upon the consti-
tufionality Of thousands Of bills each
session OF Congress and whose de-
cisiOns are almost law TO the Sem
ate, held that Congress could au-
thorize referendum under its con-
stitutionaI power to gather IN
formation for use in legislation.
He added that Congress- could
delegate this power to the States,
but he warned that constitutional
issue might be raised in some States.
once the power was delegated, *
the State constitutions prohibited
the State from exercising any Fed.
eraf powers. He did not pass upon
this question.
The drys got their greatest joy
in Wheeler's heated defense OF pro-
hibition. The American people, he
said, will not surrender to the boot
logger and brewer and is mot In the
mood to permit criminals and law.
breakers to revise its Constitution
and reapeI its laws.
1T is futile to expect that the
desire for alcoholic stimualnts can
be Iessened by legalizing the sale
OF beer and wine to supply the de.
mand of those who have already
ACQUIRED the craving and to develop
the craving in those who have not
already acquired it," he added.
AS for the statement of Gen.
Lincoln C. Andrews, dry car, that
legaIizing a Notwithstanding beer
would aid temperance and enforce
rnent. Wheeler said: THE stress
placed by the modificationists on
General Andrews reply to a hypo-
thetical question concerning the
sale of notwithstanding beer and
their failure to quote his emphatic
statement that the sale of beer
would bed isasterous to enforcement,
emphasizes the weakness Of their
case"

FARM BILL
|SL()S|NG
FAVOR
By FRED ]. WALKER

By FRED ]. WALKER
The Haugen bill was slipping in
strength today under . barage
Of criticism as the House began
the last Of four days Of general
debate on farm relief.
Although no large reflections
haze been noted IN the ranks Of
the bipartisan coalition backing
the sS75, 900. 900 proposal Of Rep
resentative Haugen (R.) Of Iowa,
Administration leaders, who only
TWO days aso privately declared
It had an excellent chance of pas
sage, were confident today Of its
defeat.
Farm Relief Hopes Fad6
As result. it appeared more
probable than ever that Congress
win not pass any farm relief
measures this session.
The Haugen bill, which from the
start has been conceded the great
est strength. has been laboring
under the handicap OF having only
one third of the total time allotted
BY House rules for argument on
farm relief legislation.
1t has been subjected to q con-
tinual bombardment by proponents
Of the other measures, who believed
that only in first convincing the
House against the Iowan,s bill did
they stand a chance of pushing
through alternative solutions of the
farm problem.
AsweII Bill Gains
Sentiment was growing in the
House today in favor OF the
measure by Representative AsweIl
Cd of Louisiana, which would ap-
Dropriate SO 900 900 for the work
ing out OF marketing problems as
q solution for farm distress.
Although introduced by Demo
crat. it has the backing of many
regular Republicans because It
was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Curtis of Kansas, Repub-
lean floor leader
On the strength of its Democratic
support depend the prospects for
enactment of the Haugen BILL. 1t
is generally admitted.
81 think we win get so Demo
cratic votes said Representative
Dickinson R.) of Iowa, farm bloc
leader, which will be enough to
carry it. It will be a fairly close
vote. but we ought to win"
A test vote revealing House
sentiment, is expected to come next
Monday or Tuesday.
