Roosevelts Letter Favors Sharing Prohibition Burden
New London July 16 Governor Roosevelt reading a letter from George W. Wickersham head of Hoover’s law enforcement commission argues the federal Volstead Act enforcement rests mainly on the national government and suggests dividing the burden with states. The plan would have states handle retail policing while the federal government retains wholesale control, with the 18th Amendment supporting concurrent jurisdiction but federal burden dominant to date. The letter also notes public attitudes toward crime and law enforcement and mentions upcoming sessions on taxation and aviation with governors Ritchie of Maryland and Reed of Kansas presiding.
