LIQUOR
IN ALASKA-COURT
MAKES A DECISION
*
There is absolutely no loop hole in the present prohi
bition law in Alaska. Liquor anywhere can be seized and
the parties owning or secreting the same, can be fined or
imprisoned. There has been a great deal of talk about
“depriving any person of life, personal liberty or proper
ty without due process of law” but read the following de
cision handed down by the Supreme Court of Idaho, which
has a prohibition law, the same as Alaska’s:
The Plaintiff was taken into custody for carrying in
his possession for personal use intoxicating liquor in vio
lation of a prohibition statute of the State of Idaho. He
sued for a writ of habeas corpus from the State Supreme
Court, and sought discharge on the ground that those sec
tions of state law under which he had been taken were in
violation of the fourteenth amendment of the Federal
Constitution, which says that “no state shall make or en
force any law which shall abridge the privileges or immun
ities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due
' process of law.”
The Supreme Court not only affirmed the judgment
i of the lower courts in maintaining the constitutionality of
a state prohibition law, but even went so far as to imply
in its judgment a condemnation of the traffic in general.
It is evident from the opinion delivered through Justice
Reynolds, that in the opinion of the Supreme Court of the
, United States the elimination of the traffic does not con
►
stitutc an abridgement of “the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States.”
“The question presented tor our determination, the
, opinion says, “is whether the Idaho statute, in so far as it
’ undertakes to render unlawful the mere possession of
whiskey for personal use, conflicts with the portion of the |
fourteenth amendment which declares ‘no state shall make
or enforce laws which shall abridge the privileges, etc.”
“It is now regarded as settled on account of their well
known noxious qualities and the extraordinary evils
shown by experience commonly to be subsequent to their i
use, a State has power absolutely to prohibit the manufac-!
ture, gift, purchase, sale or transportation of intoxicating
liquors within its borders, without violating the guaran
tees of the fourteenth amendment. j
“We further think it follows clearly from our numer
ous decisions upholding prohibition legislation that right
to hold intoxicating liquors for personal use does not con
stitute one of those fundamental privileges of a citizen of!
the United States which no State may abridge.”
It is interesting to note that the judgment of the Fed- j
eral District Court from which the case was appealed
echoed the same sentiment, to-wit: “and further, we
have reached the conclusion that this is not in contraven
tion of section 1 of the fourteenth amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States; that it was passed by the!
Legislature with a view to the protection of the public ■
health and public safety; that it has a real and substantial I
relation to those objects, and that it is therefore, a reason- i
able exercise of the police power of the State.” i

PAYING LICENSE
FOR LAST YEAR
■ ■ i i ■— —
The salmon canners in th^ Bristol
bay section have commenced to m;kc!
their returns to the government on

The Alaska Portland Packer’s As-;
sociation, with a cannery at Nusha-j
gak, reports a pack of 80,114 cases,,
while the Naknek Packing Co., with
a cannery at Naknek, reports a pack
of 87,732 cases.
The Fidalgo Island Packing Co.,
has two canneries in this division, one j
at Fort Graham, on Cook Inlet and!
[ the other at Herendeen tfay. At the,
former plant the pack was 29,891
j cases and at the latter it was 2,57?
• cases.
The Alaska Packer’s association
reports the pack of nine canneries in
; this division located at Avickak, Ego
gak, Naknek, Shignik, Alitak, Karluk.
j Kussiloflf, Ugashik and N'ushagak. The
packs at these plants respectively
were 233,868 cases and 1,102 barrels;!
72,381 cases and 475 barrels; 2‘i9tMp
cases and 1,223 barrels, 59,161 cares
and 26 barrels; 146,710 cases; 30538
cases; 1,752 barrels; 166,786 cases and
1,245 barrels.
The tax on canned salmon is four
cents per case of 48 one pound cans
and on salted salmon 10 cents tier
barrel of 200 pounds.
The above canneiies have paid a
tax on a total pack for the season of
1917 on 1,343616 cases and 5,842 bar
rels of salt salmon oi a total of $o4,
327.04. Of this amount the packers
have paid the tax in cash with the
exception of the Alaska Packer's as
sociation, which maintains a hatch
ery and • hiring the season has releas
ed salmon fry to the number of e7,
405,000, and for which it obtains a
rebate of the tax on 57,405 cases of
fish.
There are still a number of can
neries in the division which have not
as yet made their returns for the sea
son, but from now on the returns arc
expected to come in rapidly.
