Iowa Prohibition Amendment In.
valid.

The supreme court of Iowa has affirmed
the decision ofthe court below, declaring
the prohibition amendment unconstitution-
81, and therefore null and void. The opin.
ION recites the origin ofth amendment
and tracing it through the house finds that
in the senate substitute for the original
measure was introduced, adopted and
agreed to in due form, being worded as fol-
lows, As shown by the senate Journal: "No
person shall manufacture for sale, or keep
for sale as beverage, or to be used, any i'm
tox'cating liquors whatever, including all
wiae and beer" In this shape it went to
the house. The Journal shows that the
proposition agreed to read as
follows: mo person shall, manufacture
for sale, or sell or keep for sale, as bever-
age, any Intoxicating liquors whatever, in
Guiding ale, wine and beer" The difference
between these two clauses is where the
trouble lies. and the court decided that both
a:e invalid, j. e., that no amendment was
enthusiastically submitted or adopted.

ers Tor the entry of each 16O acres of land,

tries of swamp lands were not embraced in
