Funds Needed
To enable him as the executive arm of the Government to uphold the Constitution, specifically that short passage* of it known as the 18th Amendment, the President sent a message to the House demanding $3,000,000 in addition to the $21,000,000 which the House has already appropriated for prohibition enforcement during the coming year. This new money is for new activities under General Lincoln C. Andrews.
*There are 106 words to this amendment, as follows: 1) After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the U.S. and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. 2) The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. 3) This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the Legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission thereof to the States by the Congress.
