THE NEW JONES
LIQUOR LAW
•Jll'.OOO Fine and Five Years
Imprisonment May Be Im
posed lly Judges.
Greensbore News-
The bootleggers tfnd distil
lers of North Carolina may no:
have the interpretation cf tht
Jones law down to a' fine lega;
point but they are ncl ,;>inj!
to split hairs over the matter
According to prohibition offic
ials of the middle district tht
whisky veterans are observing
increased vigilence to avoic
contact with this law with
pinches. Where one man for
merly watched at the outposl
of a liquor still, there are thret
today-
The SIO,OOO maximum fine
and the fiv e year imprisonmenl
or both is not likely to be im
posed in every instance or ever
in a majority of the cases bul
from the whisky man's point o1
view it allows judges dange
roils privileges that might In
exercised in aggravated cases.
The dispute, if any, betweer
Levi H- Bancroft, district at
torney of Wisconsin and Mrs
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, as
sistant attorney general, ovei
the recently enacted Jones lav
and where it applies is a l'ighl
over a distinction without a dif
ference. Greensboro lawyeri
and court officials believe-
It is pointed out that undei
this the district attorney ha>
no discreation as to how In
shall bring his indictments
If the defendant is charge*
with making, selling, transpor
ting, importing or exporting in
toxicating liquors then the dis
trict attorney must presen
his indictment to the gran,
jury, charging a felony Undei
the old national prohibition act
he could indict first offender:
for a misdemeanor-
The discretion seems to b
with the federal judges, who bi
the Jones act may impose pen
alties as sr|dl as imposed un
der old national prohibition ac
but for the maximum penalty
may go as far as a SIO,OOO fin
or a five-year imprisonment-
The act is short and to th
point- It ends with imp
tion that it ig the intent of con
gress that the judges who im
jKj.se penalies thereunder shal
discriminate between the sligh
violations and those of a mor
aggravated or commercial na
line.
I'nder the old national prohi
bit ion act the maximum penal
ty for a first offender of sellinj
whisky was a *SOO fine- Ii
crises pf transporting, sellin;
and manufacturing the Jom>
law gives judges a* wide lat
titude extending from the pre
sent minimum to the five-yea
SIO,OOO maximum-

HERE'S WHERE
OUR MONEY GOES
Guilford County Citizens Are
Buying- Cars At Rate Of 150
To 200 Each Week—Other
Counties In Proportion-
Speaking of the rapid rate at
which automobiles are being
purchased by North Carolina
people, a Greensbopo paper has
the following:
The records in the office of
It- H- Wharton, register of
deeds, show that between 150
and 200 automobiles are being
bought in this county each
week on the time-payment
plan
There was a time in Guilford
and that wasn't so long ago,
when the purchase of an auto
mobile was an event to which
the neighbors were summoned
for advice and mayhap prayer-
Today it is a thing of routing
which must be disposed of just
after the grapefruit and before
the day's work logins
Naturally these 150 cars,
taking the minimum weekly
sales, do not constitute abso
lutely virgin motor population-
In many of these machines, the
register of deeds are suplemen
ted with some old model which
is traded-jn, and which after
an application of polish and
grease may be turned over the
same day by a real live dealer
Another machine of still more
ancient vintage may be swap
ped for thjs one and so ad mo
torandum-
The fact that most of these
machines are paid for by the
week or month may harrow the
soul of the purchaser and cause
him sleepless nights- if he has
bought too heavy but it really
isn't bankrupting the country
as is often pojnted by those of
a pessimistic turn of mind-
The dealers who sell these
150-200 machines weekly are
better able when Saturday
night comes to pay their groc
ers and landlords- Gasoline
must be purchased for them
and one would be surprised at
how much of a thjrst some
new cars have That is how the
filing station operators pay
their grocery bills, if they opt'
rate wisely- And other trades
men horn in These cars must
be greased and repaired, wash
ed and painted-
If people can buy these self
propelling vehicles :*nd pa\ fo;-
tlnnJ in a reasonable length of
time without denying themsel
ves or their families of things
of a more essential tiijng then
the enormous i.ite at which
they are being bought here i
pcrhaps a good omen-
