WHAT DOES THE LIQUOR
BILL MEAN.

The joker In the liquor bin which
passed the house has been discover
ed. II reports from Salt Lake are to
be accepted
The Kuchler amendment to the
Badger bill is as follows:
Provided, however, ina the pro-
vision shall apply to cities containing
more than $1,000 inhabitants, when
the legal voters of such cities shall
have voted in favor of prohibition "a
4 separate unit"
Prohibitionists claim that, owing to
the wording of that paragraph, the
regulation features OF the bill could
not apply in Ogden or Salt Lake until
after the legal voters of either city
had voted in favor of ine city going
dry"
A further careful reading of the
Joker" says when the regal voters
OF such cities shall have voted for
prohibition as separate unit" The
bill does not say a majority of the
voters, or a two-thirds vote. and the
friends of prohibition are asserting
that 1t would require the vote of every
legal voter ia either of the two cities
to vote the city dry"
The Objectionable features" SAYS
the Republican, were overlooked by
members of the Senate who have
been working for a local option bill

best solution Of the problem In Utah.
The amendment In question was Of
tered by Senator Kuchler and advo-
Gated by Senator Hulaniski, and was
