Prison for Life for Liquor Law Breakers Urged Stiffer Penalities Sigidly Enforced Submitted as $2g,000 Prize Plan by William Durant New York Stiller penalities rig idly applied is the gist of another plan "to make the Eighteenth Amendment effective, submitted for the William C. Durant prize of $25,000. J Urging the appointment of trust-) worthy officials who will act, as well . as talk, Frank B. Codling of the Codling Lumber Company, Inc., Col lngswood, N. J., has recently pre-; sented as further solution of the liq uor traffic problem, the fixing of srraduated penalities so severe and so strictly enforced that vtoiater o tQe conio,, of the Unitea state? would realize that "obedience to law.; which is liberty." must obtain. ! Following is the text of Mr. Cod ling's plan: ' "To make the Eighteenth Amend-, ment effiective the remedy seems ex tremely, simple: j " ' Let every sworn officials carry out the solemn pledge which he pro mised God and the American people he would carry out or insist upon the Supreme Court of his state, see- j ing that his reward is sudden anc sure . j "Ten times ten is always exactly . 100; and there is never but one right answer to that, no other right answer can ver be made to take the place of law enforcement. He that is unfaithful in few things, will never be made "ruler over many. "The Eighteenth Amendment Is as much as part of the Constitution of the Unitea States of America as any other laws which prohibit murder, through any other agency than liquor, and those who winK at, or condone violations of the present prohibition acts, are as grantedly traitors, as those who worked against any of the laws of the United Stater during the war, and sentenced ac cordingly. My plan would seem almost re- dundant, but it is this: ". Whenever and wherever illegal liquor is found in 'possession," arrest the possessor. Let all trials be heard before a jury of three Masters com posed of three: Supreme Court judges of that State. If found guilty: (a) On year at hard labor, for. the first offense, (b) Ten years at hard labor , for the Second offense. (c) Hard labor for life, for the third offense. "2 Any and all persons who wrt tingly pass illegal liquor to another person, together with any and all persons found intoxicated shall be tried, and. if found guilty, the same penalty shall be prescribed. "3. Let it be made-known to all candidates for office, that if they do not enforce all laws under their jurisdiction, that they will incur the same penalty. Let us act not just talk."

In jection of religious prejudice into politics was attacked by Governor Fuller of Massachusetts today in a speech before the members of the American Legion, at their 6tate con vention here. Appealing to the legionnaires to "sound the tocsin that will start a revolt to raise the tone of Ameri can politics" the governor said: "You men know and remember that there was on inquiry as to n man's religion or nationality when he offered to die for his country 10 short years ago. We must insist ever and always that there shall b; no shaft of criticism leveled at him on this account when he offers to j-ervo his country in the days of peace. I say to you gentlemen that you iacrl no worse enemies of America ou. tho fields of France than Senator Heflin and Dr. Straton. We must not allow our politics to be torpedoed by pre judice.
