OFFICIAL PAPER or The CITY,


The following sample OF the kind OF
nonsense that IS going the rounds.
comes from the Philadelphia Pablo
Lsfsr.
Michigan has had 10 high license
law ot l-.J declared unconstitutional,
because. 0f tue caralessness. or worse,
of the officers And clerks OK the Leg sla-
,tlrc The oil. certified o. the Govern
or and gled by nm was not that
which uAI passed tAe legislature. the
I4u1r mru Hul lad raised the question
showed such knowledge ot the change
tIltt 10 IS strongly suspected they had
some hand u atuug the b.u .m-
uroner.y transcribed. They could al
ford t1 resort Co. tubcry, !0r each Will
save $500 iu license fees uy the decision
OF the court that the new act is uuCOu-
s-tut 0utl."
The knowledge OF the changes pos
sessed by the liquor men argues moth
lug0t the kind suggested by the Ledger.
Their knowledge was due solely 20 the
researches of MS asJute L constitutional
lawyer as there IS "a Michigan. and all
he had 90 do 20 ct the knowledge was
% trace the course OF the b.l through
tae two Housesof the legislature, rs re-
corded ln the journals. And, moreover,
correctly speaking. the discrepancies
were not due 20 changes made n the
process of enroIlment, but to the omis-
s.ouof someamendments recommended
~ the conference committee and
