VOLSTEAD SAYS SMITH WOULD REVIVESALOON Author of Dry Act Doubts Promise to Enforce Prohibition. Bu United Press ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 24.—Andrew J. Volstead, author of the pronibition enforcement act, said today ‘.that modification of the law as suggested by Governor Alfred E. would mean the restoration of the saloon. “The promise of Mr. Smith to enforce the prohibition law and the Eighteenth Amendment,” Volstead said, “is no more sacred than the oath he took to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment when he became Governor of New York. “His proposition to have a scientific 'investigation of the quantity of alcohol that liquor may contain is a joke. Any one who knows enough to get in when it rains knows such a thing is impossible. “If this proposition means anything it means that he wants a substantial increase in the alcoholic content of near beer to go on the market for sale in the soft drink bars. If this beer does not contain enough alcohol to have an intoxicating effect, it will be no different from the present beer and will satisfy no one. If it does it will simply mean the restoration of the saloon. “The plan of selling liquor by the States is being tried in Canada and is a failure.” PREDICTS CONTINUATION OF SOUND PROSPERITY I. D. Carson, Former Local Man, Visits City on Way to Culver. Continuation of sound business conditions in the United States was predicted today by I. D. Carson of N. W.
