in the United States amounted to only
four automobiles, and the total mile
age of rural roads was less than g.
100000 whereas at present there are
more than 100000 miles of rural
roads and highways, much of them
hard-Surfaced.
Here is a tremendous argument for
prohibition. Imagine what the result
would be if these highways were dot
ted with liquor dispensaries. No ones
life would be safe under such condi-
tons, fact that even the wettest Of
the vets will have to admit.

ADULTERATED WINE
Forty One Liquor Storoe Closed in Chile
for "Doctoring" Wine

An Associated Press dispatch car
rying a Santiago Chile, dateline of
March 8, says the doctoring of wine
resulted in the closing of Al liquor es-
Establishments in Chile during the last
six months, according to figures fur
nished by the internal revenue office.
During this period $4,000 liters of
the vintage were destroyed by the
revenue officer after tests disclosed
that the wine had been tempered
with. Here is further evidence that
licensing the liquor traffic is no guar
antee that the drinking public will
not be imposed upon by dealers in
poisonous, adulterated liquors.

REFERENDUM DENIED
Supreme Court of Massachusetts
Rules Referendum on Repeal of
Dry Law Unconstitutional

that state on the question OF request
ing the states Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to work for the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
have been thWarted by q Supreme
Court decision.
The dryS and the vets were mar
shalling their forces for the fight next
November, and it promised to be one
of the most bitterly contested battles
ever staged in the state. The init
ative petition was filed last fall. The
court held that the question proposed
in it is not claw" such as may be
submitted to the voters under the
state constitution.
The court declared, Superficial ap-
pearances can not clothe with the at
tribute Of law something in substance
vain and imperative" This virtually
sustained the assertions Of dry leaders
that the proposal would result in q
sham referendum or straw vote, espe-
cially since the bill provided the vote
should not be taken as an instruction
to Representatives, but only as "an
expression of the will Of the people"
It is thought by some that this de-
ciSion may serve as a precedent
some other states.
Pointing out that the NIassachu-
. sets constitution provides means Of
state re$erenda only upon "constitu-
tional amendments and laws" the
court said in part:
The word claw" imports gen.
eral rule Of conduct with appropri-
ate means for it's enforcement de-
clared by some authority, pos
seSsing sovereign power over the
subject; it implies command and
not entreaty; it is something diff
ferent in kind from an Intellectual
expression of opinion possessing
no sanction to compel observance
of the views announced.
The text of the proposed law
accompanying the initiative petit
ton does not prescribe a general
rule of conduct. It merely invites
declaration Of opinion by the
voters on a subject over which the
people of the Commonwealth pos
sess no part Of the sovereign pow
er.
Amendment of the Constitution
of the United States and repeal of
amendments thereof constitute
federal functions derived in every
particular entirely from the con-
stitution of the United States.
That instrument .transcends all
provisions sought to be enacted by
the people or by the legislative
authority of any state.
The voters of the several states
are excluded from participation in
the process of it's amendment. By
that article all power over the
subject is vested exclusively in the
Legislatures of the several states.
The result of the vote as proposed
in this initiative petition would be
lacking in any effective force.
The proposed law is wanting in
features essential to constitute its
provisions a law within any per-
MISSILE conception of the mean
ing of that word.
This decision may not apply to ref
.rendum proposals in other New En-
gland and North Atlantic states,
among them Rhode Island and New
York State, according to Lewis j.
Johnson, professor of government in
Harvard University, who was an adj
wiser to the Massachusetts Civic
League, in its opposition to the poll.
