Take Long Shot at Saloons

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 30.-Spe
cial to The News: An important fea
ture of the state liquor license law
will be determined as the result of in,
junction proceedings which have just
been instituted and in which the mem.
bers of the town board of Goodwin
township, Deuel. county, are the de.
PENDANTS. The injunction restraints
the board from issuing a liquor
license, the application for the in.
junction being based upon unusual
grounds. Those who secured the re-
straining order contend that at the
recent annual election a majority of
the voters of the township, counting
all those who voted and those who
did not vote at the recent election.
did not vote favorably to the assurance
of licenses for saloons, although a
majority of those who did vote de-
clared themselves in favor of such
licenses being issued by the township.
Those who secured the restraining
order intimate that If the state cir
cult court does not take this view of
the matter, an appeal will be taken to
the state supreme court. On the face
OF 1t there would appear to be little
doubt that license had carried and
that those who did not vote upon the
proposition should not be taken into
consideration, but it is question
which has never been determined by
the state supreme court and the anti
saloon people appear anxious to carry
a test case to that court. Beresford
had a somewhat similar case last
year, but it was adjusted before it
had reached the state supreme court.
