There seems to be some confusion in th,

the establishment Of dspensaries,or agen-
cies, as the systems friends insist, with
the petulance OF miscalled religions de-

The enabling act at least permitted if
it did not command, the establishment of
a dispensary in each city of 1000 popu-

contain city Of that population.
The legislature 50 prescribed and made
the act an emergency measure. But a
referendum was applied to it. In case the
voters in the November election, by ma
jority vote, pronounce against the system,
il repeals the law and the governor is or
dered to dispose Of the liquors on hand
and all incidental property to the best adj
vantage of the state.
But there is really no provision continu-

One cannot favor one dispensary in a

voters at the same time vote down the

to have contemplated In that event the
question would naturally arise as to
whether the enabling act provision, made
a part of the constitution, did not make
the establishment Of one dispensary in
county compulsory. The lawyers would
row around over this indefinitely.
Whether it was merely another piece Of
