Senate Passes Jones Bill Tightening Liquor Laws
By a 65 to 18 vote the United States Senate yesterday approved the Jones bill which could send a first offender of liquor laws to prison for five years and impose a $10,000 fine. The upper chamber shows no sign of yielding to temperance critics or calls for modification, indicating national prohibition remains entrenched despite opposition from university presidents authors lawmakers and newspapers. The public appears to accept the dry system, leaving little chance of repeal or government controlled sales.
