Congressman Vaughn on Nationwide.
"I have been and am now un-
willing to vote to deny the people of
my state the benefit of a statewide
prohibition law simply because it
might not accomplish the good it
should in some very wet«localities,
and I have been and am willing to
favor statewide prohibition, even
though realizing that at least for a
while it might not and probably
would not be enforced in some lo-
calities in the state. Believing in
the right of a majority of the peo-
ple of the whole state to determine
the policy of any part of the state
or the people of any part of the
state, I favor statewide prohibition.
But I do not believe that even
three-fourths of the states can
amend the constitution of the
United States so as to prohibit the
traffic throughout the United States
without infringing upon the right of
each state to determine for itself
its own policy in regard to the
traffic. I understand full well that
the states have already agreed in
the constitution that it may be
amended in the manner provided
therein, by two-thirds of each house
of congress voting in favor of the
amendment and the ratification of
the same by the legislatures of
the states. But this does not prove
that the amendment would not con-
travene the doctrine of local self-
government. An amendment pro-
viding for a consolidated centralized
government could be adopted in the
same way and the rights of the
states to govern themselves abso-
lutely done away with.
"If a state prohibitory law would
be difficult to enforce in some parts
of a state, who will say that a
national prohibitory law would be
observed and obeyed in these states
where a majority of the people of
the whole state were opposed to the
law, unwilling to observe it and to
enforce others to do so. When the
people of a state adopt a law it
sometimes becomes necessary to
send the armed militia to localities
to enforce it. In Texas the rangers
have been sent to localities to do
so. But suppose the people of a
state are against the national pro-
hibitory law they will elect officers
who are opposed to it, and it
would be necessary to send the
United States army to the state to
enforce it, and we would find it
necessary to amend the consti-
tution in another respect and
authorize the president to send the
army into the state without being
first called upon by the state
authorities to send it. That a state
may be entirely free from the drink
evil and from the liquor traffice and
the evils attendant, it is not neces-
sary that every other state should
be so free nor that its own freedom
should be accomplished by national
law.
"I believe my position on this
question is understood by my con-
stituents. While I was a candidate
I said in my printed speech that
'the right of local self-government
leaves to each state the determina-
tion of its own policy as to this
traffic, and the question whether
the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall be prohibited in the state is
for each state to determine for it-
self." '
"We will do well in Texas if we
will work out our own crop before
we undertake to work out the crop
for the entire country."—Congress-
man Vaughn of Texas.
