Of course. it appeals very strongly to gentlemen from the drastic dry States. such as the Representative from Kansas. where I understand they have become expert in fixing by legislation the length of bed sheets and other chamber -linen. and also the Representatives from States from which we have just heard. where its senior Senator recently was called on to write a letter with reference to an organization operating within its borders and point out that unless the State put down the organization the organization would destroy the State. I am somewhat familiar with the legislation enacted to enforce the prohibition amendment. I believed then as I believe now that we started in with too drastic a law for the enforcement. and to give due maeed of praise to the distinguished author of that law I would say that I never heard him urge at that time nor since. nor do I think it occurred to him in his wildest dreams. that we should provide for the deportation of aliens who have violated some provision of a State law with reference to the narcotic or the prohibition laws. but I appreciate the gentlemen on the Pacific coast who have been unable to find out how many of a certain class of aliens there are living in their midst and are greatly terrorized because they are compelled to live in a state of ignorance. and if they gathered them all up in one place they would find that they would not equal the population of some modernsized city in the United States. The difficulty out there is that they always find some American citizen who is willing to sell their land to them. and. therefore giving them a chance to become landowners. And the difficulty with these alien bootleggers is that they are always able to find some American citizen who will buiy the stuff.
