the way the Excise question Was
Handled by It's Solons.
A translation of King Hamourabfs
code. written about $3.50 years before
Christ, gives us an insight into the life
Of the great city of Babylon at that
remote time and Of the way in which
1he excise question was handled by its
legislators.
Nearly all the dealers of wines and
liquors Mt that time We're women, as
many of the laws translated from the
code speak only of women as sellers of
drinks. Severe measures We're taken
against those who adulterated the
wines of mixed them with water, so as
to safeguard the purity of the article
for the use of the public. The barmaid
was held responsible for all disorderly
scenes or drunkenness in her premises,
and death was the penalty for those
drunkenness to the police. Those wom-
en- who We're employed in the temples
were forbidden to enter public hostel
ries under penalty of death, and even
drinking in private was forbidden to
them
Special police officers were detailed
for the enforcement of the excise laws
in the city of Babylon, but then as we'll
as now the officers charged with this
duty We're, If we are to believe the
: code in question, either negligent in
, the performance Of their duties or
| too willing TO accent hrihas from the
barmaids in the shape of drinks or
even money.
Severe punishment is dealt out in the
document to the police officers who
shall accept brlbes in connection with
the enforcement of the excise laws OF
Babylon, but it is probable that then
as we'll as now many of the fair saloon
keepers found a way to bribe the OH
GERS and evade the laws.

There has been more or less agita.
ton Of dividing the state into districts

that there will be some opposition to
the proposed measure in the legisla-

posed division line.
Politicians from the slope region
have all along favored division but
have insisted that the line form an
eastern and a western district. Those
in favor of the northern and southern
districts claim that they will he able to
carry their measure through both
houses in spite of the opposition.
