The Cramton bill. creating a separate division of the Treasury for the Prohibition Unit. with increased salary for the AntiSaloon Leagues mal Haynes. was killed in the Senate. The Stalker bill. providing a mandatory jail sentence for the maker of onehalf of 1 per cent homemade beer. but permitting the free manufacture of homemade cider and homemade wine of onehalf of 1 per cent and more. never even came to a vote in the House. The alien deportation bill. a pet measure of the AntiSaloon League. died in the Senate. Had it passed. an. alien could have robbed and assaulted. with any number of jail or penitentiary sentences of an aggregate of 18 months. and still remained in the United States. but if his several violations of the Volstead Act alone amounted to only 12 months. he was subject to deportation. no matter if such 12 months sentences were only for making homemade beer for exclusive use in his own home. This bill also died in the Senate. So the state of the Union is better in many ways than it was when the Sixtyeighth Congress held its first session.
