The attorney general in response to
a request from the senate gave his
opinion on house bill % and senate
bill IS, making it unlawful to solicit
orders for intoxicating liquors in the
state. The opinion was in substance
that the present laws covered sales
wholly consummated in this state and
that if the law aimed at sales made by
statesmen for foreign dealers the state
would have no jurisdiction. Both
bills were referred to the judiciary
committee.
A petition was read from residents
of the fifteenth and thirty-eighth
legislative districts requesting the rep
resentative from those districts to
