THE MORRIS CASE.

IN the case OF State VS.. l.. U. Morris.
The reason for the reversal is: BE
cause of incomplete and defective aft
davit.
/ The defendant, Morris, was charged
lin the City Court, Judge Fullilove, with
Ia violation of Act 46 of 1906. In brief,
that as the manager of the Red Rock
wholesale house he sold to Chief of Po-
lice Allen FIVE gallons of whiskey in
contravention of law On trial Morris
was adjudged guilty in the City Court
and he was. sentenced to pay fine of
one hundred dollars or be confined in
the parish jail for thirty days. He APP
pealed to the District Court, where the
case was tried. There was a motion to
quash on the ground that Act 46 of
1906 was unconstitutional This motion
to quash was overruled. 1t was fol-
lowed in an able opinion by Judge Bell,
who sustained the judgment of the City
Court.
The contention of the State is and
was that wholesaler can not sell at re-
tail in prohibition district, but if he
sells, the sale must be to retail dealers
for resale.
A wholesaler can not sell to an indi-
vidual for consumption. The sale must
be to retailer for resale.
On this point the Supreme Court de-
cision af6rms TIL. contention of the
States attorney, Hon. J. NJ. Foster,
and his associates in this case.
While the decision of the Supreme
Court BY reversing Judge Bell on a
technicality and BELIEVES Morris of the
penalty imposed ~ the City Court, the
constitutional issue raised by the dis
tinguished and able attorney, Hon. J.
D Wilkinson, representing Morris, is
practically settled, as emphasized in the
syllabus Of the Court:
Il Legislative Power-Article 1871 Of
d. Constifution has never been con-
strned = prohibiting the Legislature
from adopting laws authorizing citizens
residing within local subdivisions of the
State from determining for themselves
the question Of permitting or prohibit
ing the sale Of intoxicants. Such laws
% not Violate the article cited.
4. Local Option-The State under her
l2ws does not act directly but leaves it
% the local Subdivisions.
Retail Act Of 1908 Section 3 con-
4rols ID III subdivisions of the State to
TIT extent that it prohibits the sale of
ntoxicating liquors at retail.
Wholesale-It does not have the
elect Of prohibiting the sale of liquors
IT Wholesale under the terms of the
license laws.
License-The license law of 1893,
pase ~, limits the sale of wholesale
dealers. No person shall be deemed
Wholesaler unless he sells to dealers for
resale. At this oint it becomes evil
dent by Interpretation placed on the
statute that the affidavit was defective
IL substantial particular. It did not
x1e m offense
If the affidavit under which Morris
NAs held was defective, and by this de-
fect he IS relieved and released of all
The responsibility attending the violation
of fhe law, and if, as pointed out in the
fourth paragraph Of the syllabus, 1T
does not have the effect Of prohibiting

LEGISLATIVE COMMENT.
lContlnued from I'D 80

which his services were included.
that OF legislating that the license
fees I'm Yes" towns should be turned
into the state treasury. This mea-
sure had the support of administra-
ton leaders in both House and Sen
ate and was frankly a desperate effort
TO evade the deficit threatened by the
members OF the ways and means COM
mittee The Herald's opinion Of this
act of legislative buccaneering is al
ready well known.
The doe bill was another shining tri-
umph In the history OF the late legis-
lature Opposed by humane sports

this bill was passed. in simple acqui-
escsnce with the ungenerous and mis-
erly intolerance OF certain farmers.
10 whom a few cabbages or rotting
windfalls is more than deer herd,
one OF the most valuable assets and
aesthetic pleasures that the state can
boast
The general charge Of needless ex-
| travagance stands unanswered and
unanswerable. The cases leading up
thereto have been fairly well outlined
by this paper in the last two years.
With the raising of the rate of corpor-
alton taxation at a time when the
state did not actually need more mon
ey, with the announcement of sur
plus where no actual surplus existed
with the insane PRONUNCIATION of the
doctrine that the people pay no ta1
for state support, came the era of foo
l igh avnangfnVt falu,
lnally, bald and unblushing salary grail
bling and graft-permitting appropriat

The blame belongs with the admin

by defeating a man of the. people,

paper believes, of a majority OF Yer
