A motion to refer the bill to the
consideration of a committee to re-
port at the next session was strongly
opposed by Rep. Ashford in very
pithy argument. He was also OPP
posed to the amendment proposed
by Rep. Smith relative to the "voice
of woman being heard" in the grant
ing of the application for license.
Noble Baldwin was opposed to the
bill. He argued with Rep. Kanealii
that the saloon was the primary
school for the education of drunk
ards. He did not think the passage
of this bill would lessen drinking.
There were now good laws relating
to minors being prohibited from
patronizing saloons, but in the outer
districts those laws were not carried
out The bill was not in accord
with it's title; instead of light wine
it was proposed to spread the sale of
heavy wines at standard of II per-
cent of alcohol. He thought it
would be very hard matter to en-
force the provisions of the proposed
law. Now, men in his part of the
country were seen to go into Chinese
coffee houses sober and come out
drunk, yet nothing was done about
it: there was no investigation.
Noble Marsden said that the cause
lay in the construction put on the
law by the Supreme Court. Under
the law now existing it became neces-
sary to prove an actual sale to obtain
a conviction of illicit dealing. The
possession amounted to nothing.
Under this proposed law the posses
sion of liquor higher in strength
would be sufficient to cause fine and
loss of license. He considered that
the matter had been argued enough
and nothing could be said of sutfi-
cient influence to change anybody's
vote, so he moved the previous ques-
ton. Carried
The amendment to refer to the
Legislature of 1894 was lost, 10 to 10
