THE BOOT FOR TAFT.
Webb Bill Now A Lai Despite Veto 0
The President,
Washington, D. C, Maroh 1.
By a vote of 144 to 95 the House
today re-passed over President
Taft's veto the Webb bill prohibit
ing shipments of -intoxicating
liquors into "dry" states. The
Senate passed it over the veto last
night aud the bill now becomes
law. Only one other time in the
last fifteen years has Congress
overridden a president's veto.
That was when the Rainey river
dam bill was passed over Pres -dent
Roosevelt's disapproval.
President Taft based his veto
almost entirely upon the ground
that the bill was unconstitutional
in that it virtually delegated to
the states control of interstate
traffic in liquor, when he held
that control was vested solely in
Cougress. Attorney Genera'
Wtckersham had given an opin
ion also, holding the bill uncon
stitutional, and that the president
forwarded to the Senate yesterday
with his veto message.
The Senate re-passed the bili
promptly last nigat, and early
today House leaders favoring the
measure, led, by Representative
Clayton, chairman of the judiciary
committee, and Representative
Webb, one of its framera, began
working for an immediate re-passage.
Debate was limited and the
House re-passed the bill with
wide margin over the neceesbry
two-thirds vote, as the Seuatf
had dene.
Supporters of the bill say it
will make eff ctiva the prohibi
tion laws of "dry" states, which
they say now are violated becaus
intoxicants are shipped to private
individuals and have th9 effect oi
nulifying the local laws.
