Interpreting q PrOhibitory Law.

Drs MONIES, Iowa, August 16-Attorney
General John Y. Stone Of Iowa has given q
written opinion as to the present status Of tho
Iowa prohibitory law in SO far as it affects the
interstate shipments OF liquors In substance
he says: 1.-The effect Of the decision Of the su-
preme court in the case OF Leisy ct al. agt
Hardin was to deny that the prohibitory law
was applicable 10 interstate shipments of liq-
uors. The effect of the recent act of Congress
was to make such liquors subject to thatlaw In
my Judgment the true consideration of the
recent act is that Congress intended that the
state laws already in existence, as we'll as those
hereafter enacted, should apply to liquors COM
ing Into the state for use, sac or storage. The
language Of the law Of Congress, as well as the
object Of its enactment, supports the view that
q re enactment OF the state law is not necessary
70 give vitality TO its provisions.
