Loses California Appeal Washington, Dec. 11.—(By A. l'.>— Two cases considered by the govern ment of major importance in the en forcement of national prohibition were decided by tho supreme court today, in one i-f them, coming t'ruin the state of Washington, tho govern linnt scored a sweeping victory, the court holding that both the fedral and a state government can prose cute and punish tho same unlawful act in the manufacture, possession, transportation or sab of intoxicating liquors. Tho other case, coming from Call ^ fi nia, the government lost In its con ti ntlon that In the enforcement of national prohibition uu executive of ficer can impose and collect ns taxes, the assessments and penalties impos ed bp those sections of tho revised Statutes which remain unrepealed by the Volstead act and which became law while the manufacture and sale ot Intoxicating liquor was not pro hibited. Decision Reversed. The Uirtted States district court for western Washington dismissed a federal Indictment charging Vito Lan ai, Dick Barto and others with man ufacturing, transporting and possess ing Intoxicating liquors on the ground that they had been tried and convict-| f'd in llic state courts for the same of fense. In reversing this action today flic supreme court held that “In the absence of special provision by con gress. conviction and punishment in a state court under a state law for making, transporting and selling in toxicating liquors is not a bar to a prosecution in a court of the United States under (he federal law for the same acts.” Tiie rlTeet of the prohibition amend in . tlie court stated in an opinion by I’hief Justice Taft, was to establish prohibition in every part of the. Tutted States and affecting transac tions which are essentially local or intrastate, as well as those pertaining to interstate or foreign commerce. The power to take legislative meas ures to make the policy effective existed in congress, the court con tinued “In respect of the territorial limits of the United States and at the same time the like power of he several •slates within their territorial limits shill not cease to exist.” May Make Separate Law*. "Beach state es also congress,” It added, "may exercise an independent judgment In selecting and shaping measures to enforce prohibition. Such pa aro adopted by congress become laws of the United States and such as are adopted by a state become laws of that state. They may vary tn many particular*. Including the penalties prescribed, but this is an In s'parable Incident of independent legislative action In distinct jurisdic tions.” Referring to the contention by the easy to Imagine the rush of of f- riders to stave courts to plead guilty, if t-y so doing they could obtain im munity from federal prosecution for the same act.

The Regal Drug corporation of San Francisco, obtained a permit to with draw from bonded warehouses in ti'xicating liquor and wine for sale (aider the prohibition act for non leverage purposes. The permit was cancelled and the collector of Internal revenue • imposed upon the company, in addition to those provided in the prohibition enforcement act, certain taxes and penalties carried by un repealed sections of the reused sta tutes governing the manufacture and rale of distilled spirits with wine prior to "national prohibition.

Western States Ask Reduction in Freight Charges Hearings on Grain anti Hay Rales Begin Before In terstate Commeree Commission. v Washington, Dec. 11. — Western states began the submission to the Interstate Commerce commission of evidence on which is based their de mand for reductions in the railroad freight rates now charged on grain, grain products and hay in the terri tory west of the Mississippi and east of the Rooky mountains. The pro ceeding was originally brought by the Kansas Public Utilities commis sion, and the commissions of Minne sota, Nebraska, North and South Da kota, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma j have Intervened for the same object. I while all the western railroads are represented in opposition. Dr. Henry J. Waters, former presi dent of the Kansas Agricultural col lege, was the first witness called by Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Kan sas commission, and described the history of the rate situation, as well as outlining the grounds on which ; the states demand reduction. Trices Pushed Down. When western states were given a reduction ranging from 11 to 15 per rent on these commodities in 1921. Dr. Waters said, the commerce com mission had recognized the special need of agricultural producers for assistance, because their prices had ; been pushed down further by general deflation than those of any other commodity. Whatever advantage had been given farmers by this step, he continued, had been practically "oblit- ' erated” by the 10 per cent reduction given all rates last July. Dr. Waters spoks approvingly of President Harding's annual address to congress last week In connection with Its declaration that the necessity in the transportation field was the mak ing of low rates for producers of food stuffs and raw materials generally, and leaving charges on high unit priced articles unchanged. Distress among agricultural pro ducers was as great today as in 1921. the witness contended, adding that the disproportionate burden which the present rates placed upon them was even greater and the ability of rail roads to reduce the chnrges could be shown. Tells of Production Costs. F. K. Grimes, a statistical expert for the Kansas Agricultural college, followed Dr. Waters with a study of hay and grain production costs I throughout the west, hut chiefly in Kansas. His conclusion was that 'grain and hay were now being ; produced at a loss by most of the j farmers in the west. His testimony ; was offered in substantiation of Dr. 'Waters' statement that millions of ! acres of land would he deserted by ! farmers in coming years unless relief I was obtained.
