Six whisky laws were enacted by
the legislature and signed by the Gov
crnor. \ score or more bills We're in
rolucel. but only six became laws.
The Governor porketed one. which WAS
TO prohibit canliIateS Tor office in san
Benz O county from "trcaling the
people. This was Il farce. The bill
hal been introduced a> Il general
measure. but was amended so as to
apply only to the county represented
bN its author. The laws are a> follows
The Berkeley act, the Napa Insane
ASvltlni act. Mckusick's bill prohibit
inw he sale of liquor on election days,
the Local option law, the law prohih-
illn~ suits To collect bills for drinks
when the amount exceeds five dollars.
and the act prohibiting the sale oi
liquor to Indians and habitual drunk
arls. Time alone can tell whether any
OF these laws will be operative. but the
impression has been that they We're
