UNIT LAW HELD VALID
AS to the Various Counties
OF Kentucky.
UPHELD BY APPELLATE COURT
Opponents of Local Option
Measure Questioned its
COnStitutiOnality.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals,
last week, Chief Justice O'Rear writ
ing, upheld the constibutionality of the
county unit local option act of the
General Assembly, session of 1906,
making the county the unit in local
opticn elections.
The opinion of the court was an
nounced in the consolidated cases of
Board of Trustees, Town of New Cas-
tie, against J. T. Scott, from the Hen
ry Circuit Court, and froIl G. M.
Gentry against J.F. Peyton and others
from the Lincoln Circuit Court. The
court reverses the Henry court judg-
ment and affirms the Lincoln Court.
The Henry Circuit Court held the
act to be unconstitutional or to that
effect, and the Lincoln Court held to
the contrary.
The decision of the Henry Circuit
Court was rendered by Judge r. F.
Peak; that of the Lincoln Circuit
OOuTI ny JuuSc w. ". DCli.
DECISION OF COURT.
The Court says:
At the time the Constitution was
adopted prohibition prevailed, in a
number of counties and towns of the
State by virtue of special laws pre-
viously enacted by the Legislature.
Section 81 of the Constitution, which
required the Legislature to provide
| by general law for local option cleo
tons, was careful to say that the
previous special statutes for certain
localities were not repealed by that
section. All those special statutes
provided prohibition in the localities
specified.
The purpose of the convention is
shown by this action to have been not
inimicable to local prohibition, but
rather in it's favor.
Our construction is, in view of
these conditions and the language
used, that the Constitution meant
that the local units named should
control within their own territory the
question of prohibition; that each
should have the privilege of saying
exclusively that prohibition should
prevail, but not conclusively that it
should not. This construction har-
monies the section so as to allow
all of it to stand, and to give equal
force and power to each unit named.
If precinct votes that prohibition
shall prevail within its territory, it is
not competent for any other unit to
glinsay the matter. If, however, the
precinct votes against prohibition, that
! leaves the question so far as it is
concerned as it was before any vote
was ever taken on it. But if the town
or city which includes the precinct in
question subsequently votes in favor
of prohibition, the whole town or city
thereby becomes dry. Or if the coun-
ty subsequently votes dry, the same
result as to the county is attained.
But if the county or town vote wet
and the precinct has previously voted
dry, the precinct controls for itself.
Thus each unit for itself has the OPP
ton of putting the prohibition law in
to effect within it's territory. And
no larger or smaller unit can prevent
it. This is the only construction of
the section that occurs to us on that
has been pointed out that will allow
equal and uncontrolled power to ev-
cry one of the five units named in
the section.
