The Alpine press debates the wisdom of turning down a lucrative outside advertisement to protect home merchants. A Red Bluff editorial is cited on whether newspapers should sell space to out of town rivals or prioritize local business and community growth through advertising.
A critical view contrasts economic prohibitionists with political crusaders seeking offices and salaries. The piece argues prohibition has yielded major gains, with public sentiment turning against booze and saloons, while warning self serving politicians harm the cause. It notes enforcement progress and questions Gov. Neff's defeated proposal to remove unpleasing local officers.
A Texas speaker denounces Volstead era enforcement proposals allowing warrantless home searches as un-American and Russia-like. He warns such moves would erode civil rights, urges voters to repudiate pro prohibitionists, and predicts a return to normalcy with strong privacy norms. The remarks frame a clash over federal power and individual liberties.
