The measures on prohibition now
pending are most varied. The Can
non bill, which was among the first
to be introduced, calls for the abso-
lutte suppression of the sale of liquor,
except for sacramental, medicinal and
mechanical purposes. 1t went so far
as to prohibit the keeping OF liquor
in home. The general impression is
that the bill calls for such radical
change that it would be unconstitu-
tional and would call for such a great
change IN conditions that it would be
practically impossible to enforce it to
the full letter of the law.
Another bill, known as the anti
treating" bill, is still pending in the
house The salient features to this
measure is that treating is forbidden
and saloon is confined to but one
room. opening upon the street or side
walk, and containing no tables OF seat
Ing places of any kind.
