HEAD TO RUM ..N ..N ..NN
W»ain(t4nt Nov. 8.—Storage of
lewfnJIjr acquired liquor in commer
cial warehouses and the transporta
tion of such stocks to the horns of
th# owner is not prohibited by the
Volstaad Act. under a decision hand
ed down today by tha Supreme Court.
In passing upon the appeal of WU1
c. Street, of New York, from
decisions of lower courts refusing u>
enjoin Internal Revenue official! from
noising liquors ho bad placed in a
room rented from a aafe depot,t com
peny, tbs Supreme Court reversed
• f °**r courts and held that the
injunction should be granted.
. “•*. °ff,ct of this ruling had not
been folly appraised tonight by in
ternal Kevanae and. Prohibition En
forcement officials. The belief was
axpremed, however, that the result
might be tbe releaM of some $10,
vvv,uvv Kanwua ill inwilCRtin^ DCV
erages which have bora ■ to red in
warehouses since January 10, 1020.
Test Com* |s Result
Records on file ehow that, in ad
dition to imraenar quantitive of liqu
ors purchased and stored by Individ
ual consumers, there were in storage
when dtc Volstead Act became ef
fective large stocks held by hotels
and restaurants as raserve*. Whether
these latter stocks come within to
day's ruling has not bean determin
ed. It was anticipated that test cases
would be filed soon on this and simi
lar questions arising from the ande
lenamed scope of the new interpre
tation of the Volstead Act
Justice Clarks, .who rendered the
opinion today, held that the transpor
tation of liquor from wsrehouse to
the owners’ home would be legal. If
the liquor had been lawfully acquir
mld: ’ " J_'
"That transportation of the liqu
ors ¥ * * is not such as is prohibited
by the section is too apparent to Jus
tify detailed consideration of the
many provisions of the sat inconsist
ent with a construction which would
render such removal unlawful and
that the act is understood by the offi
cer* charged with it* execution as
permitting such transportation is
shown hy the provision of the regu
lations of the Bureau of Internal Re
venue authorising permits for tho
transportation of liquor from one
permanent rcsidonco to an owner to
• another in the case of hit removal
although no such transfer is In terms
The opinion pointed oot, however,
that Internal Revenue authorities ^un
doubtedly had the administrative
power to regulate the transfer of
such liquors >o u to prevent their
use in violation of the law.
"An intention to confiscate private
property," the opinion concluded,
‘oven in intoxicating liquor*, will not
be raised by inference end construc
tion from provisions of law which
have ample Held for their operation In
effecting a purpoee clearly Indicated
and declared.
Msfteyueld’s Opinion
Justice MeKeynoldt, concurring (n
the Judgment of the court, dissented
as to the reasoning by which it era*
ranched.
"I think the Volstead Act was pro
nerlv interpreted by the courts be
low," ho mid, "but to enforce It a*
thus construed would moult In vir
tual confiscation of lawfully aeouired
liquors by preventing or unduly In
terfering with their consumption by
the owner. The eighteenth amend
ment gave no such power to Con
gress. Manufacture, sole and trans
portation are the things prohibited—
not personal use.'"
Prohibition enforcement officials
began studying the decision immedia
tely after It was read. The opinion
change* would have to bo mod* in tho
enforcement regulations but pending
detailed study of the case and the cir
cumstances surrounding tho litigation
no official statement was fortbeam
ing.
Danger of Frond
On* effect of tho decisioa foraoon
waa the danger of lacreasod oppor
tunity- for fraud among persons soak
ing moans of violating the law.
Without the cheek on transportation
provided by tbs permit system, offi
cials Indicated that they expected
greater difficulty la controlling un
Usrfal sales
A conclusion had not boon reach
ed tonight as to sshethor the court's
InteTBictaUon opens tho way for aa
restricted transportation in Interstate
commerce. That transfer ean be made
within a State apparently waa' tpoei
Ac bat the language of the *****
when analysed may yet show, officials
though, moans whereby Interstate
transportation can ba stopped. In
tho particular ease involved It was
pointed out th* owners' legal rtsi
doucs and th* pine* of storage worn
within the sense m«t*. nod, In fact.
In tho sum* citT- , ..
la connection with. transporta

THE CORN AND

Hmmm in The Smn Cam Ball
State*—Stales Mere Hags
| During the greater part of the pail
nra years there has been a surplus of
hogs and a shortage of corn In the
seven corn belt states, with the result
that during the greater part of the
time hogs hare furnished a poor mar
J*1 *®r The normal bog produc
Oon for those seven states is arouad
27 million, and of those 27 mOllon
about ten million arc sent to the six
central markets during the winter
pecking season. The normal corn
production of these seven corn belt
states is around 1.250.000,000 bushels
This year there will be aboot 1,880,
000.000 bushels or about 8 per cent
mor* com than normally. At the
same time there arc prospects that
there will only be about 9,400,000
hog* marketed at the six central mar
ket* during the winter packing tea1
son, or about 7 per cent fewer than
usual. In the eastern part of the com
belt, the corn-hog balance is not at all
seriously out of line, and even in
Iowa, the situation is not bad. It is in
Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska that
there is each an extreme shortage of
bog* and such n surplus of com. In
these three states the corn production
this year is about 25 pe, cent above
normal, whereas the hog production
Is 10 or 15 per cent below normal.
This means, of course that com pri
ces in this section will be much weak
er then usual and that there sbonki
be en excellent profit Ip the feeding
of corn to bogs.
Because of the fact that there is
more com than usual available this
fall, and because hogs will-soon again
be selling on a favorable ration with
com. there will be a tendency to
breed more brood sows than usual
this fall. It is probably right that we
«hould breed frre pci cent more
brood sown than we did a year ago.
We believe that It will he a very aeri
oua mistake to try to increase the hog
population by much more than five
