A Definition of Casual Violations A republican president, a republican secretary of the treasury and a republican attorney general united in an imjiortant charge proposed in the laws relat ing to federal pro enforcement This is the recom mendation : “Enlargement of the powers of United States commissioners so they may try 'casual and slight offender*’ against the prohibition laws. They had their definition ready. They asked the federal lawmakers to fix the penalty for casual and slight violations at a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment of not more tlian six months in jail, or both, with authority for district attorneys to try ac cused In such cases by complaint or information— and not by indictment." If the casual violations recommendation is en acted it would give federal commissioners the right to try small offenders—and it would take away the constitutional right of trial by jury- This is what the recommendation made by Pres. Hoover with he endorsement of Sec. MeUin 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 ♦han six months in jail.' or both. ’ Under the FI*1*1 Amendment no one shall be held to answer for a capital or other “infamous crime. ’ unless on a presentment or Indictment of a grand Jury. __ As construed by the supreme court or tne tinned States. "Infamous crime” means one punishable by imprisonment in a penitentiary or for more than one year, or for any period, if at hard labor Hence, according to the Wicker.sham commission, "where imprisonment Is to be in jail, is not to ex ceed six months and is .not to be at hatd labor, the crime is not infamous It is only where there is a possibility of imprisonment in the ptn.'f ntiary. or for more than a year, or at hard labor tha an in dictment is requued.” In Texas all persons convicted under the pro visions of tire Dean law are guilty of ' infamous rritrtes” If arraigned in a federal court md found guilty as charged and given a fine or jail sentence, they are wholly innocent of the perpetration of an infamous crime. This is a funny old world and the legal distinctions are as queer as the lawmakers responsible for them There would be a uniformity of laws to say the least. There is no fine or jail sentence to be found in the Dean act. There is no suspended sentence above a certain age for the casual violator. He goes over the road to the penitentiary for one to five years. This is the reason why the country bovs go to the penitentiary and the city boys are given fines or jail sentences. If it isn’t a mockerv of Justice then name it and take it. Organizing Co-operative Forces Having launched programs for the organization of w heat farmers and cotton growers and sheep and mo hair producers, the federal farm board had broken around for two additional national commodity mar keting associations one for fruits and one for vege tables Texas is interested. Texans are interested Texas is getting to be the greatest citrus producing state and as for vegetable growing it is going to lead all American states In coming years. First of all organisation of the producers or growers in thc varioua fields of wealth making endeavor is necessary. Without thorough organization the co-operative idea will be a failure, the governmental marketing sys tem will be a failure and the plans of the federal farm relief board will be shattered to fragments on the rocks.
