GOV. SMITH PLEADS
FOR BEER AND WINE
Urges New York Legislature
to Send Memorial to Con-
gresS at Once.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
: ALBANY, n. Y. January 5.-Gov.
Smith, in his annual message to the
Legislature today, urged that Con-
gress be memorialized to take immedi-
ate action to the end that harmless
beverages which our people have en-
joyed for more than a century may
be restored to them"
While advocating modification of the
Volstead act, the governor said that
until such modification Is effective the
Federal liquor laws are as much laws
of this State as any State statute and
must be enforced.
'I again warn sherif1s and peace Of
ficers generally" he said, that it is
their sworn duty to enforce these
laws. Failure to perform this duty i
will consider as serious an offense as
a failure to enforce the State statutes,
and when laid before me, supported
by proper and competent testimony,
/ will exercise without fear or favor
the power of removal wherever it is
vested in me-"
Predicts Tax Reductions.
Aside from the liquor question the
governor, who announced in his in
augural address last Saturday that he
was receptive" concerning the presi-
dental nomination Of the Democratic
party, predicted tax reduction and re-
newed former recommendations for
legislation which q Republican LegiS-
lature has hitherto denied.
"At the recent election" Gov. Smith
said concerning the prohibition ques-
ton, there was submitted to
referendum of the people the question
of whether or not they desired
modification of the Federal statute
giving force and effect to the eight
eenth amendment of our Federal Con
stitution. BY 1,164.5S6 majority, the
people of the State of New York voted
for modification of the statute.
81 believe that the duty now rests
upon the Legislature to pass suitable
resolutions conveying in a formal
manner the result of that vote to the
Congress of the United States and
memorializing it on behalf of the
State of New York to enact at the
earliest possible moment a sane, sens
ible, reasonable definition of what
constitutes an intoxicant under the
eighteenth amendment, so that harm
less beverages which our people have
enjoyed for more than century may
be restored to them.
Waterway Farley Asked.
The governor said an analysis of the
requests of the various State depart
ments for appropriations indicated
that the burden of the taxpayers
would be lightened very much along
the lines adopted at the last session OF
the Legislature" when substantial
cut in the personal income tax pay
ments was made.
The governor recommended that a
conference Of State and Federal Of
ficials be called to make arrangements
for the construction of an all-Amer-
lean canal from Lake Ontario to the
Hudson River. He urged abolition of
motion picture censorship and 49,
hour law for women and minors in in
duStry.
