"A Definition of Casual Violations

A republican president, a republican secretary OF
the treasury and a republican attorney general united
in an important change proposed in the laws relat-
ing to federal pro enforcement. This is the recon-
mendation:
Enlargement Of the powers Of United States
commissioners so they may try 'casua. and slight
offenders against the prohibition laws.
They had their definition ready. They asked the
federal lawmakers Ito fix the penalty for casual and
slight violations at a fine OF not more than $500 and
Imprisonment OF not more than six months IN jail, or
both. with authority for district attorneys to try &C
cused in such cases by complaint or information
and not by indictment"
II the casual violations recommendation IS en-
acted it would give federal commissioners the right
TO try small oflenders-and IL would take away the
constitutional right Of trial by jury. This is what
the recommendation made by Pres. Hoover with the
endorsement OF Sec. Mellin and Atty, Gen. Mitchell
asks the congress to write into the prohibition STAT
utes Of the republic: TO fix the penalty at a fine
OF not more than $500 and imprisonment OF not more
than six months in jail, or both"
Under the Fifth Amendment no one shall be held
70 answer for q capital or other Infamous crime
unless on a presentment or indictment OF a grand
jury.
AS construed by the supreme court Of the United
states. infamous crime means one punishable by
Imprisonment in a penitentiary or for more than one
year. or for any period. II at hard labor.
Hence. according to the Wickersham COMMISSION
-where imprisonment IS to be in Jail. is not to eX-
coed six months and is not 10 be at hard labor, the
crime is not Infamous. 1t is only where there IS a
possibility OF Imprisonment in the penitentiary' or
for more than a year. or at hard labor that an IN
dictment is required

visions OF the Dean law are guilty OF infamous
