isfaction with.the legislature in thg,]
passage of the prohibition measureX]
of the last session. However, MRS.
Anderson does not seem to be conf
dent that the sentiment as reflected
in the legislature, is permanent
one in the state. She calls attention
to the growth Of the prohibition SEN
timent and compared tho same with
the time when resubmission was de-
feated by the narrow margin Of one
vote. Now the vote in the legislature
was more than two to one. At the
same time Mrs. Anderson, represent
ing the union, regretted the passage
of the iniatiaGiye and referendum
law. as it opened the way to vote
on the resu omission question. 1t
would seem plain that. if the, prohi-
bittion law is reasonably enforced in
the state the next two years that
Mrs. Anderson. fears as to the stabil-
ity Of the law .are groundless. The
main. reason fer the repeal of the
law will be its non-enforcement. 1t
is plain that the law is on trial be-
fore the people of the state and its
fate will be decided one way or the
other within the next two years, .as
the people have given the law many
years of trial :.
Mrs. Anderson EXPRESSED satisfac-
tion with the passage of the temper
ance commissioner act, which she
stated digniied the enforcement Of
prohibition in the state. She referred
to the passage of the act which pro-
tibits solicitation of liquor orders
and commented with pleasure upon
the recent decisions of the United
States supreme court, which declared
that a similar Law in South Dakota
was constitutional. She also expressed
satisfaction with the law legalizing
searching for liquor without search
warrant, believing it would make life
harder for the bootlegger. Mrs. An
derson expressed regret that the child
LABOR bill and the anti-cigarette bill
did not pass.
