Need of Adequate Penalties in Our Prohibition Laws
(By J. II. CoLLEa)

prohibition law is the most effective
weapon in the hands of the Federal gov
eminent in prohibition enforcement.
When there is sufficient evidence of law
violations in building or other place
subject to injunction, if the government
would file an injunction bill to close the
premises. as we'll as a criminal charge
against the proprietor and push both pro-
ceedings at the same time, the crowded
conditions of our Federal criminal court
dockets would be greatly reduced.
In the Northern District of Illinois dur
ing the past year government padlocks
we're snapped on the doors of Sill Saloons
drugstores, night clubs, speakeasies and
breweries. Property valued at over S.
100000 is affected by these DEGREES. So
efficient has the government become in
this work that in many cases a consent
decree is entered; the defendants en-
Joined do not put up fight; they know
It viii be useless
OLD REVENUE LAWS
Other effective weapons as yet only
spasmodically used, are contained in the
old internal revenue laws The penalties
ard forfeiture provisions of the revenue
laws are far more drastic in many in
stances than those of the national prohi-
bition law They were found effective to
protect the revenue under the license re-
gime, why not apply them to the limit,
where applicable. to protect society from
the organized defiers Of the Eighteenth
Amendment? After considerable differ
ence of opinion in the Federal courts,
since the passage of the Willis Campbell
Act, the United States Supreme Court
has handed down a decision under which
many of these statutes are, without ques-
ton, still in full force and effect.
SPEEDY PUNISHMENT OF VIOLATORS
ESSENTIAL
Delay in the trial of cases due to
crowded court calendars has been an in
creasingly alarming factor in the near
breakdown of criminal law enforcement.
Prohibition has suffered much adverse
criticism because of failures in enforce
ment which are not due to any difficulty
inherent in prohibition law, but to delays
incident to all law enforcement.
Adequate penalties in our laws, and
judges and iuries who will fearlessly i'm
pose them, can result in little real i'm
pIoVement unless offenders are tried with
IN reasonable time after arrest. To ar
rest a bootlegger; to permit him to be re-
leased on bond, which is his right, and
then postpone his trial from six months
to year, or longer, because of the crowd
ed condition Of the court calendar does
not instill respect for the law in him or
other potential offenders On the other
hand it encourages law violations because
of the belief that the day of reckoning is
far away, or may never come: for it is
we'll known that delay often defeats the
prosecutions case entirely. Witnesses
cannot be found the memories of those
who do appear become hay; the public
loses heart and sentiment for conviction
dies.
The success of prohibition in these
crucial days is as much dependent upon
speeding up the wheels of justice, as on
adequate penalties. Speedy trials are
necessary to make adequate penalties
really adequate.

TOO MUCH LIKE OLD LICENSE
SYSTEM

Another weakness OF mere lines. we
must guard against the danger of having
the MARKHAM doctrine Of economic deter
n7inism" applied to prohibition enforce
ment. Some counties and municipalities

Llenished by filming and refining law vio-
lators. unfortunately setting up n policy
much akin to the old license system Man
ifestly. law enforcement is not advanced
by such methods. The public must be
educated away from this. despite the re-
s.stance of wet or tightfisted officials.
Fines must be supplemented with prison
sentences and iniunctions if the county or
municipality is to protect its citizens and
achieve a good name for law enforcement
No governmental unit can afford to take
tribute money from law violators and en-
courage repetitions of law violations to
fill its treasury, no matter for what public
purpose such money may be used.
PADLOCKS
Certainly the time has come when every
available weapon for law enforcement
should be vigorously used. The injunc-
ton method of procedure to close build
ings in which the law is violated as nui-
sanees, is used all too infrequently. Edu-
cation as to what can and should be done
under the nuisance abatement provisions
of our prohibition laws is sorely needed.
The injunction has decided advantages
over criminal prosecutions. Immediate
relief on the filing of the bill is possible
through a temporary injunction, whereas
in the case of criminal action delays and
technicalities often postpone any real re-
lief for months The injunction reaches
future sales and is at once preventive. 1t
Furnishes not only the immediate violator,
blt also the owner of the premises on
which the violation occurs. The owner
may be deprived of the income from his
property for an entire year under many
of our nuisance laws. And the generous
use of the injunction will do much toward
solving the difficult big city enforcement
problem. In cities where the Federal in
junction process has been efficiently APP
piled, there is growing tendency on the
part of owners to impose upon tenants
strict compliance with the prohibition law.

previously notice had been given not
to hold this meeting, but the manner
in which it was stopped was simply
terrible. The English rulers or lords
in India do not look upon the natives
as real human beings, they considered
them as little more than animals.
The attitude of the rulers apparently
is that the strong is right. Sarcastl-
cally the Indians are called negroes
by the ruling class.
Quoting the Daily Mail of London,
the speaker said that foolish people
cannot see the great economic loss
to England if India should become
independent. 1t is said of the civil
service men-the English in India
that they are neither civil nor is there
any service. However, it has also
been said by thinking men that Amer
lea might not rule better if they were
in England's boots.
The Rev. Hojbjerg admonished his
hearers to not hate England but to
hate the spirit of materialism and
greed. The western civilization,
which means Europe and America, is
to a great extent wrapped up in profit,
greed, industrialism, pleasure, and
power. The people of India are for
more human perfection, but neverthe-
less Ghandi is also for the economic
help of his fellowmen. The Hindus
reject Christianity, but accept Christ,
said the speaker Ghandi, a Hindu,
but a very learned man, understands
Christianity He does not call the
police, but suffers for the sinners,
going the way of the cross. The Rev.
Hojbjerg stated that every people
all nations-have message for the
world for the fulfillment of men. One
nation may show the way for love OF
work, another freedom, another song

the people of India we can learn to
not be so eager for profit, egotism
and selfishness, and the country
