amount of alcohol In beverages, estab
lished a new standard for intoxicants.
Mr. Root also contended that the con
stitutional prohibition amendment al
lowed liquor dealers a “year of grace”
to enable them to readjust their af
fairs to meet changed conditions, but
despite the amendment, which he ar
gued was virtually a contract between
congress and the states, the liquor '
business had been constantly heckled
with legislation by prohibitionists in
congress seeking to advance the time
for national prohibition.
Technical State of War Exists
These contentions were generally ,
retuted by Solicitor General King and
William L. Frierson, assistant attor
ney general, appearing on the govern
ment’s behalf, who took the position
that the prohibition act is still in full
force, owing to the senate’s delay in
ratifying the peace treaty, that a state
of war technically exists, that national
prohibition was necessary for the
winning of the war and the establish
ment later of normal peace conditions,
and that such legislation came within
the war powers of congress.
Reasoning of Lower Courts
In declaring the war-time prohibi
tion act unconstitutional, Federal Dis
trict “Judge Walter Ev(ins, in Louis
ville, held the act conflicted with the
fifth amendment, and enjoined inter
nal revenue officials from preventing
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house Company from removing
whisky for beverage purposes from its
warehouses. The act, however, was
upheld in the Dryfoos case by the
federal district court in New York,
which dismissed proceedings brought
to enable the company to withdraw
a small quantity of distilled spirits
from bond.
The Ruppert case was slightly dif
ferent from the others, in that it in
volved also the right of congress to
prohibit the continued manufacture of
2.75 per cent beer, which, it was
claimed, was non-intoxicating. In
junctions to restrain internal revenue
officials from interfering with the
Ruppert concern in producing such
beer were asked on the grounds that
the war-time prohibition act, as well
as the first section of the Volstead
law, limiting alcoholic content of bev
erages to a maximum of one-half of
1 per cent alcohol, were unconsti
tutional. Federal district Judge Hand,
however, dismissed the petitions,
holding the acts to come clearly
within the scope of congress under
its war powers.
The Kentucky case was decided by
the lower court on October 27 and the
New York cases on November 14, and
all were immediately repealed. About
eighteen months would have been re
quired for them to make their way
through the supreme court docket for
argument had not the court, upon the
motion of both sides, agreed to expe
dite their consideration, owing to the
short time elapsing before national
constitutional prohibition becomes ef
fective, in January.
