E.B. Benn letter to Senator Wesley Jones regarding the status of bootleggers in Aberdeen, Washington, November 18, 1921
No full textE.B. Benn of the Taxpayers League of Grays Harbor County writes to Washington State Senator Wesley Jones to report on the status of bootleggers in his area. Benn writes that the jail is full of prohibition violaters, however prohibition officer Roy C. Lyle could be enforcing prohibition more, because he has jailed less men.Prohibition in the United States was ratified under the 18th Amendment in 1919 and officially established in 1920, making the transport, sale, and production of alcohol illegal. The National Prohibition Act, commonly referred to as the Volstead Act, was subsequently passed to establish methods of enforcing the law. Washington State passed a statewide prohibition law in 1914, then became the 22nd state to ratify the national bill in 1919. Prohibition became hugely popular due to the efforts of organizations such as the Prohibition Party, Anti-Saloon League, and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, who championed the movement on health and moral grounds. Due to the inefficient enforcement of the law and increasing crime rates from black market sales of alcohol the 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933 with the passing of the 21st Amendment.
Wesley Livsey Jones was a Republican Senator from Washington State, serving from 1909 to 1932. During his time in the Senate, Jones championed federal investment in the Pacific Northwest while serving as Republican whip and a chairman of the Appropriations and Commerce Committees. Jones was a strong proponent of Prohibition, even attempting to pass legislation to strengthen its enforcement. As Prohibition’s popularity waned in the late 1920s, Jones’s stance appeared outdated and old-fashioned. He lost the 1932 Senate election and died shortly after

United States Marshal E.B. Benn letter to Senator Wesley Jones regarding the appointment of a new deputy during prohibition, December 5, 1927
No full textUnited States Marshal E.B. Benn writes to Washington State Senator Wesley Jones to report an intoxicated deputy and to give Jones his recommendation of a new deputy. Benn writes that deputy Williams appeared drunk and was subsequently fired. Benn says that "he went straight for a long time but his former weakness finally overcame him." He then reports that he plans to appoint John Green, a black man, to this position. He lists the organizations and individuals who support Green and writes that "the colored people have from ten to fifteen thousand votes in the State, mostly Republican, and as a matter of justice they are entitled to recognition."Prohibition in the United States was ratified under the 18th Amendment in 1919 and officially established in 1920, making the transport, sale, and production of alcohol illegal.

Japanese corporate groupings (Keiretsu) and the informativeness of earnings
No full textThis paper examines the effect of Japanese corporate groupings, keiretsu, on the informativeness of earnings. Keiretsu firms maintain close financial and personal ties through cross-shareholding, credit holding, interlocking corporate directorates, and various business transactions. We propose that the strong interrelations of the keiretsu ownership structure enhance the informativeness of earnings through efficient monitoring of managerial performance. Our empirical results show that keiretsu firms have higher earnings response coefficients than those of non-keiretsu firms, the earnings response coefficient increases as the strength of the keiretsu relationship increases, and discretionary accruals by keiretsu firms are smaller than discretionary accruals of non-keiretsu firms. All of these results suggest that the monitoring ability of the keiretsu improves the informativeness of earnings. © Blackwell Publishers Ltd. 2001

An extremal property of the inf- and sup- convolutions regarding the Strong Maximum Principle
No full textIn this paper we continue investigations started in the paper "Local estimates for minimizers of some convex integral functional of the gradient and the Strong
Maximum Principle" concerning the extension of the variational Strong Maximum Principle for lagrangeans depending on the gradient through a Minkowski gauge. We essentially enlarge the class of comparison functions, which substitute the identical zero when the lagrangean is not longer strictly convex at the origin
