MAY QUESTION
new LIQUOR LAW
The SimmS Act, Believed by Many
Repeats Three Nile Law Re-
StriCting Liquor Sale

The act passed by the recent
legislature, known as the Simms
act, introduced in the senate by
J. G.. B. Simms of Chicot county,
to limit the granting of saloon
licences, is believed by many to
conflict with other license laws
of the state, and some of the
liquor dealers of the state claim it
repeats all the other prohibition
laws of the state.
There are only two sections in
the Simms act. That hereafter
it shall be unlawful for any coun-
ty court in this state to grant IL
cense for the sale of liquor of any
kind or character, for which
license is now required, except
within the limits of incorporated
towns or cities, where there is a
mayor and town or city mar
shall, or other body of police"
The second section provides
that all laws in conflict with this
section are repealed, and that the
act take effect from it's passage.
Since the Simms act became a
law several towns have been in
corporated which entities each to
a mayor, town council and mar
shall and therefore, where the
county voted for license in the
general election of 1906, such
towns were permitted to have
saloons.
Three such towns were recently
incorporated in Poinsett county
and town officers elected. About
8 o'clock Tuesday night Acting
Governor X. O. Pindall issued
commissions to each of the may
ors of those towns as follows:
J. G.. Probst, Wiener; Joseph
King, Pitts; M. M. Chancellor,
Fisher. Applications for license
to sell liquor in each of these in
corporated towns, it is said, will
be presented to the Poinset Coun-
ty Court before the first of jan
uary, and it is stated by those
who are reported to be in pos
ition to know, that the applica-
tons will be granted. 1t is also
said that the county courts in
other counties will be asked to
grant licenses in towns where
the three and ten-mile acts have
long been in force, and whether
the applications are granted or
denied, the question of issuing
such licenses under the circum-
stances will eventually have to
be decided by the state court of
last resort.
Those who oppose the granting
OF licenses to selling liquor con-
tend that the words, for which
license is now required, " which
occurs in the first section of the
Simms act, limits the granting of
license to incorporated towns in
the wet counties. Liquor deal
erS who are interested in the eX-
pansion Of the license ten ritory.
it is said, insist that the second
section Of the Simms act repeats
! all the special arti-license laws
affecting counties, and that by
complying with the general law
liquor may be sold in any incor-
pOrated town.
The question involved has
never been presented in any
court, but it is believed it will be
after first of the coming year.
The law willprobably betesteG as
as soon as the county iudgeinsome
county grants a license to some
one to operate a saloon in a in
corporated town where a three
or ten-mile prohibition law is in
force, and it is reported that
next week or later, applications
for license will be made in sew
eral Of them in their respective
county courts.
