Sweeping Decision Says That 18th
Amendment was Lawfully Pro
posed, and is Law of Land.
The prohibition amendment and
the enforcement act were held consti
tutional by the supreme court last
week in a unanimous decision.
While the attorneys for the inter
ests attacking the two measures
were granted permission to file mo
tions for rehearings, the decision
was regarded generally as striking a
death blow to hopes of the "wets."
The court's opinion rendered In
justice Van Venter, was sweeping.
It held the amendment not only came
within the amending powers confer
red bv the federal constitution, but
was lawfully proposed and was the
law of the land. While recognizing
that congress has limitations in
respect to the enforcement of laws
regarding beverages, the court held
those limits were not transcended in
the enactment of the enforcement act
restricting alcoholic content of in
toxicants to one-half of 1 per cent
While New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin acts permitting manufac
ture and sale of beverages of more
than one-half of 1 per cent alcoholic
content were not directly involved,
the decision was interpreted as inval
idating them. The court said the
first section of the amendment of its
by congress by a
legislature or by a territorial

77MS should catch every eye
assembly—which authorizes or sanc
tions what the section prohibits."
Concurrent power granted by the
amendment to federal and state
governments to enforce prohibition,
the court further held, "does not
enable congress or the several States
to deftiat or thwart prohibition, but
only to enforce it by appropriate
means."
The decision of the court was set
forth in eleven conclusions covering
seven separate proceedings. These
proceedings including original suits
brought by the state of Rhone Island,
directly nttacking the constitutional
ity of the amendment.
While agreeing to the validity of
the amendment and enforcement act,
Justices McKenna and Clarke dis
sented from tlie majority interpreta
tion of the concurrent power of
federal and state governments to en
force prohibition. Chief Justice
White held that the court should set
forth the reasoning for its decision.
He did this in a supplementary opin
ion.
Justice McReynoWs, in a brief
statement declared he was of the
opinion that it was impossible to say
at this time what construction should
be given to the amendment. He add
ed that because of "the bewilderment
which the amendment creates," he
preferred to remain free to consider
the multitude of questions which
will'"inevitably arise and demand
solution."
The decision set at rest conten
tions previously laid before the court
that the amendment could not affect

to January 16th when the amend
ment became effective.
The court held that the amend
ment applied to such liquors the same
as to any produced after that time.
Regarding arguments that a state
having constitional referendum pro
visions could not have been said to
have ratified the amendment until It
had been submitted to the voters, the
court cited its opinion rendered last"
Mopday in the Ohio referendum
cases, in which it held that such ref
erendum provisions do not apply to
federal amendments.
Only one prohibition case of im
portance remains undecided. It is an
appeal from New York involving the
constitutionality of tlie portions of
the enforcement act prohibiting
storage in warehouses of intoxicat
ing liquors designed for personal use.
This case was argued this spring,
but with the court's adjournment to
day for the summer cannot be decid
ed before October at the earliest.

extreme value into the Goodyear Tires that
go on the highest'priced motor cars, so is
Goodyear successful in supplying unusual
worth in Goodyear Tires for smaller cars.
