OPPOSITION CONFRONTS
GOVERNMENT IN SELLING
SEIZED AUTOMOBILES
WASHINGTON, D. €., Feb. 10. (A5)
—Sharp opposition to the govern
ment's practice of selling automo
biles seized in prohibition enforce
ment on the theory that they were
being used to defraud it of revenue
crystallized in the Supreme Court in
two cases, one from Alabama and
the other from the state of Washing
ton.
, Protest against the policy was par
ticularly emphatic among automobile
manufacturers, motor companies and
banks because the government at- j
tempted to make no distinction be
tween automobiles owned by per
sons detected in violating the prohi
bition law and those (being purchas- 1
ed on deferred payments, with title
remaining in the motor company j
which sold the machines.
In prohibition enforcement the fed
eral government was confronted with
the problem of storage and other
charges piling up on seized automo
biles, frequently resulting in the sale
prices obtained for the machines be
ing insufficient to pay them. Under
the prohibition enforcement act per
sons arrested for the illegal trans
portation of intoxicating liquor gen- 1
erally give bond, much time being
consumed before they are brought j
into court for trial. To avoid Keep-;
ing the seized automobiles in gar
ages until the accused are tried the
government decided figuratively 'to
take the automobiles into court un
der that section of the revised stat
utes forfeiting vehicles used to de
fraud the government of revenue on
the theory that the tax imposed in
the revised statutes upon the manu
facture and sale of distilled spirits
had not ben repealed by the prohi
bition. amendment and the enforce
ment act.
When this practice was challenged
in Alabama by the Garth Motor Com
pany the federal district court for
the northern district decided against
the government, the direct question
at issue being its right to confiscate
an automobile purchased on the in
stallment plan, with title remaining
with the motor company.
In Washington, a bone dry state,
the Port Gardner Investment Com
pany raised the same question. The
(federal court for (the western district
sustained the position taken by the
government, but when the case
reached the circuit court of appeals
that court asked the Supreme Court
for instructions on a list of ques
tions which covered noi only the
right of the government to forfeit
an aytomobile being purchased un
der a conditional contract with title
retained by the vender, but also
whether Section 3450 of the revised
statutes relating to intent ito defraud
the government of a tax on distilled
spirits was still in effect, and wheth
er there is any tax on illicitly manu
factured intoxicating liquor.
Under New Process Lumber
Is Seasoned in Day or Less
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 10. (£>)—By a
high vacuum process, invented by a
Swedish engineer, fresh cut lumber
is now “seasoned” in a day or less,
sufficiently for the carpenters bench.
Thus green birch boards become
ready for the finest furniture in 20
hours; spruce and pine in thirty, and
oak in forty. Such artificially “cur
ed” lumber, moreover, is free from
cracks, warps and “blue” spots.
On sliding rollers the planks are
put inside the long, air-tight cham
bers, where they are first heated by
steam coils and then pumped dry by
the vacuum process which is 99.9 per
cent perfect. This procedure is re
peated according to the nature of the
wood.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
