House Judiciary Committee
The Judiciary Committee of the
House held a meeting yesterday to con-
slider the Latimer bill. The bill pro-
poses to give each State and territory
the absolute control of the liquor traf-
fic. The bill is similar in terms to the
one introduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Tillman. The genesis of the pro-
posed legislation is the trouble which
South Carolina has had with the ad-
ministration of the dispensary.
The Federal courts have generally
decided against the State law. and
hence the appeal to Congress to cure
all possible defects.
