DEMOCRATS PLAN
BEER And REPEAL
VOTE NEXT WEEK
[ContiHued from Fir5t Pagel


II states have repealed state en-
forcement acts memoralized Con-
gress to repeal the Eighteen Amend
ment or declined to pass upon the
question.
The question Of whether the leg
islatureS or State conventions, as
provided for in platforms of both
parties, shall pass upon ratification
or repeal is being discussed. Most
of the leaders, however, apparently
favor action by the legislatures to
eXpediate the matter.
But cold law may tOpple over the
foaming glass. Those logical eX-
perts of the government to whom
the President would turn before
signing or rejecting any Congress
sional act designed to modify the
VOlstead Act have busted off their
law books and placed a big question
mark after their findings.
So far as the legality of mOdifica-
tion is concerned, they say much
will depend upon how Congress ap-
proaches the problem.
The Supreme Court has held that
IL IL luI AOLSl CoS " utlSG LlC Nll-
fOrcement of the 18th Amendment.
The amendment fixes no penalties
and provides no enforcement. 1t
simply prohibits, on the other hand
the VOlstead Act defines and pro-
Vides for prohibition enforcement.
II limits the notwithstanding liquors
10 one-half of one per cent alcohol
by volume.
Modification advocates have con-
tended that Congress could amend
the Volstead Act simply by insert
ing 2.75. or 5 in place of the one
half of one per cent. and real beer
would flow from barrels and beer
taxes would flow into the Treasury.
Government legal experts have lis
tened attentively TO these arguments
and have scrutini2ed the law, only
to reply mot so fast, please"
Should Congress attempt to modi-
fly the Volstead Act it is certain
some dry organizations would at
tack the validity of such modifica
ton just as the vets attacked prOhi-
bltiOn in the first place.
Their attack would center mainly
on the question OF WHEN Is llqlOI III
toxicating, for the 18th Amendment
would still prohibit intoxicating bev-
erages. Thus the Supreme Court
could hold an amendment to the
Volstead Act unconstitutional if it
regarded the alcoholic content per-
mitted by such amendment to be in
toxicating and therefore i'm violation
Of The 18Th Amendment
Even a repeal of the Yolstead Act
and the passage of an entirely new
enforcing law permitting higher con-
tent beverages might follow hard
course if hailed into Court. Such
law could we'll be held, it was said.
10 be unconstitutional on the
grounds ii permitted something
prohibited by the Constitution.

LINCOLN OWNED A PATENT

One of the prize documents at the
United States Patient Office is the
original application of Abraham Lin
coin all in his own handwriting,
for a patent for some sort of con-
trivance to initiate bags to provide
air pressure to raise boats out of the
water. Many people think that Lin
coin excelled only as a rail-splitter
in his early life, while as matter
of fact he was the handiest man in
the shipping business" the whole
length of "the river" That was
years before he took up law and
politics. Evidently every person
has "a story in their head" that they
want TO write, and an invention that
they want to patent. Better forget
the story and get the patent-it's
worth the most.
