FEDERAL AND STATE . : CASES MAY BE FILED SUPREME COURT OF UNITED STATES DECIDES QUESTION OF WIDE IMPORTANCE IN fcJVi-OKC-LMENTI OF FROHIRU ' 'TION LAW. Washington, Pec. 12.?Two cases considered by the government of major importance in the enforcement of national prohibition were ?' decided (by the supreme court today. In one of the(m coming from the state of Washington, the government scored a swiping victory, the supreme court holding that both the fedetral and a state government can prosecute and punish the same unlawful act in the manufacture . possession, transportation or sale of intoxicating liquors. f The other case, coming from California, the government lost in its contention, that in the enforcement of national- prohibition an exetou&ve officer can impose and '? collect as taxes the assessment and penalties imposed by those sections of the revised statute which remain unrepealed by the Volstead act and which became law while the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor was not prohibited. The Unitejl States district court ? for western Washington dismissed a fedetral indictment charging Vito Lanae, Dick Barto and others with manufacturing transporting and possessing intoxicating liquors on tne ground, tnat tftey naa be^n tried and convicted in the state courts for the sarnie offense. In reversing this action today the supreme court held that "in the* absence of special provision by con- v grelss, conviction and punishment in a state court under a state law ( , for making, transporting xand sell- . ing intoxicating lquors is not a bar. to a prosecution in a court of the United States under the federal law for the sama acts." The effective of the prohibition amendment , the court stated in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, was to establish prohibition in every part of the United States and affecting transactirtna a to pscpntiflillv loCAl at intrastate or foreign commence. The power to take lejjislative measures to make the policy effective existed in congress, the' court continued, "in respect of the territorial limits of the United States and at the same time the likei power of . the several states within their territorial limits shall not cease to exist.'
