SOME LAWS To
Be CONTESTED
WILL THAT NEW LIQUOR LAW
GIVE sALooNkEEPERs AN
OPENING.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
Senator Warner Says II 10 All Right
The New Domain Act May Be
Contested in the Courts.

1t is said that the Warner-Cram-
ton liquor law may have been doc
.ored" so that there is no penalty
under it's provisions for keeping a sa-
loon open after hours, Sundays, cleo
ton days and holidays. There is gos-
sip to that effect and a declaration
that at least the question is sufficient
ly open to warrant test in the courts.
The section in the new law is a
copy of the old except that the fol-
lowing clause is left out: And this
punishment shall be taken in excess
Of all other manner of punishment in
this act provided for a violation of
the provisions of this section" So the
only provision in the new act fixing
the punishment for keeping open al
prohibited times reads ANY person
found guilty of violating any of the
provisions of this section shall be
deemed guilty of a breach of the
peace and punished accordingly; and
the arrest therefor may be without
process"
Under this phTaseology of the sec
ton It is believed that the only pen
atty is that the offender shall be
deemed guilty OF a breach of the
peace.
mo penalty clause was necessary,
and was dropped out of the act as
being mere surplusage."
So says Senator Warner, one of the
sponsors for the Warner-Cramton
liquor law passed during the last SEES
sion of the legislature.
Penalty for violation of the clos
ing hours is provided for in the main
body of the act" he added. Saloon
keepers who keep open after hours
or on holidays can be fined or i'm
prisoned or both. Further, two vio-
lations of an ordinance passed under
the law will operate to nullify the Of
tenders license and that's penalty
also"

According to the late census re-

any state in the union Within it's
borders are 284,886 farms which
average 100 acres to the farm. The
improved land to each farm averages
SeVenty-five acres or Sixty-twO and
one-half per cent. The yield of the
land is enormous under the ordinary
method of farming, but if the entire
