Washington. December 27. ?Will
Congrtfg at the present session tackle
ihr. liquor question? Will there he an
. elf ort to pass u law that will ubso-,'
; lutcly shut oir the shipment ot tu
1 toxica ting liquors Inttt those States
' and Territories where prohibition pre
I vails': It is ,-ccognizcd that this is
, one or the hardest propositions that
; the lawmakers ever faced; on the one
i band, tiiev are being sought on every
, hand to pass stich a. law without fur
thei dCIUy, and. on the other, the big
? and powerful whiskey interests ate
j not asleep at the switch. |
I While Congress has had this prob- ?
i lern before It for years, and efforts '
i have been made to legislate on It,
j without success, it Is now proposed
j to begin an attack In both the House
.and Senate simultaneously which win
put ruin on the run. In the House
j the bill recently Introduced by Con7 I
! grcssman Shcppard, of Texas, makes
j Illegal all contracts connected with
I whiskey transactions of any kind
I when they relate to prohibition tcrri- '
lory. In the .Sonate the same meuu- 1
] ure will be futhercd by Senator Ken-I
yon. of Iowa.
The Idea of reaching the situation
I and forevr ridding the "dry" sections j
J of the country of the sale of runt Is .
1 11 radical departure from that con- ?
I tallied in such bills hs the old one ,
i that was known before as the Hep- j
' biirn-Dolllver bill. That measure was !
founded on the principle that the 1
State should be given jurisdiction over I
a shipment of lhiuor Into its borders.
Such a bill once passed lho House,
but when it reached the Senate It got j
a full dose of the Constitution, and
was effectually put to sleep.
Now It Is proposed practically to'
make shipments Into "dry" Stutes abao
lutcly contraband, and. more than that, j
make the contracts unenforcable, so!
that the seller In Baltimore, Now York/
I.ouisvillc or elsewhere could not col- j
lect for his goods should the buyer
hol care to pay for them, und that j
woul ! leave tho only practical tjnetbod 1
of disposing of them to sell for cosh |
In advance.
Senator Kenyon has been securing
the views of his colleagues and has
been much encouraged nt the prospect .
of seeing such a bill as he proposes
pass at the present session. He is of
the opinion that lie will bo able to line;
up enough votes to DUt It through, but. j
at the same time, he realizes that he ?
has no mean fight on hand.
Practically the entire membership ot
the Southern States will support the I
bill, both In the HoiiEe and the Senate, I
because nearly all of that section is i
I now denominated "dry," whether In j
j fact i; is so or not. Some dthor sec- 1
! lions, however. ? III not be nearly so
.unanimous in nskinir their members to!
back the measure The light, therefore, |
will tic a lively ono when It starts, with j
the prohibitionist." pushing forward to j
secure enactment of such a law, and,
the powerful whiskey interests behind
the line*, hammering It back and
knocking it into bits whenever they
can get in a good blow.
