You do not ask us to enforce the pure food act. You do not ask us to help in the enforcement of the penal statutes with respect to immigration. See how the Federal water power act is flagrantly violated by the great power com panics of the country. You do not ask New York to aid in the carrying out of the provisions of the Federal water power act. Why should the enforcement of prohibition fall into our laps in New York? We do not want it and we will never accept the responsibility. Why burden New York with additional taxes that its police may enforce this statute?
