r' PAOE SIX I 18TH AMENDMENT ;; ATTACKED BY N. J, S "< n . Suit Filed to Have Amend - > < c: ment Declared Unoonsti- r tutional f VOLSTEAD ACT ALSO UNDER FIRE IN SUIT Claim of Illegality Is Set; Against Prohibition En- I fnrr.Ainent. Washington.? The State of New ? Jersey tKrough its attorney general, I Thomas F. MeCrane, filed in the United States Supreme Court a suit, seeking to have the prohibition amendment declared unconstitutional and to prevent enforcement of the Volstead act. The suit is directed against Attorney General Palmer and a Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of in- s ternal revenue. t The bill sets forth that the amend i ment was improperly drafted, that in 21 States the legislatures have not j 1 ratified it as provided by their State,] constitutions, and that there is no j i power in Congress to propose a con- J t s'titutional amendment regulating the : 1 habits and morals of the people. It j recites further that the amendment j 1 is a legislative and not a constitu- |1 tional matter, and that as such it ( was improperly passed. <. It is charged that the amendment (] centralizes authority without the con ] , sent of the people of New Jersey, t and that it is a violation of their t sovereign rights . The Volstead act, < having been enacted under author- i ity of the amendment, the petition 2 says, is null and void. Volstead Act Illegal. 2 It is claimed that the Volstead act is illegal because, by "depreciating 1 atnd in a large measure destroying { the taxable value of real and pre- j sonal property within the State, it is | destructive of the States's free and j independent government; because it, deprives the State of revenues from , licenses, which in 1918 amounted to $2,442,899, and because it interferes with the internal government of the poople and operates to punish their. l>v heavy fines, imprisonment and forfeitures, thus preventing application for licenses for the sale of nonirtoxiacting beverages, which are authorized under the laws of the Slate. I Complaint is made that the act restricts the practice of physicians of, the State and the operations of its! penal, correctional and charitable in- | stitutions, that the State has not con j curred in the amendment, and that if j the act. is enforced it will nullify the j right of the State to regulate its internal affairs. It is claimed the act is not appropriate to enforce the pro hibition contained to the amend - i ment which is expressly confined to.

Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton association, says that numerous requests have been received from many si urces urging that the American Cotton association take the necessary steps to have the proper depart monts make an immediate investi- i gation as to the amount of cotton being shown as smplus cotton, for the purpose of furnishing correct information as to the amount ot' spinnable cott' n contained in this i suiplus, it being urged tha; on ac-j count of the tremendous importance! of this matter that necessary legi - k.tion be requested through congres.; i t-? secure the information if it can, rot. be secured other wi. e. Mr. Wan-, namaker said: "Confidential informati n received from many sources unquestionably brings to light the fact that a large proportion of tho cotton shown as! surplus cotton should he eliminated, as it contains 1 inters, regins, and unspinnable cotton, and it also show;; j and points out that the amount of cotton being shown as stocks of cotton at a number of interior points of , concentration and ports is far in excess of the actual amount of cotton j at said concentration points an i , ports. "The result of an actual investiga , tion by representatives of the American Cotton association brings to , light the fact that an enormous proportion of the amount of regins and linters being carried as surplus, is in a worthless condition, unfit for any form of manufacture, a tremendous amount of this class of cotton boing shown as lying out in the weather, flat on the ground in many cases without any protection whatever and a large proportion of the same only partially protected from 11 -1-l 1 ^ 1* ~ ' wm HAnr)AWA/1 / ? 7*1 me weax/iier uiu? u*.mu^ icnuuiuu v>?? account of weather damage abso-1 Intely worthless.
