was in May. 1905. when that canton en-
acted a law prohibiting its sale The
law, passed February ,. 1907. The oppo-
sition was very general and determined,
and although the people adopted prohi-
bition by popular vote. with a small ma

Power of the Cantons.
"It should he understood that under
our constitution the legislatures of the
cantons have only the power to prohibit
the sale in retail. Federal legislation was
necessary to prevent It's manufacture and
general traffic In 1907 an initiative for
an amendment to the federal constitu-
ton prohibiting the transportation and
sale was signed by 167.s14 citizens. The
federal council in it's message to the
federal assembly, dated December o. 1907.
opposed the initiative on the ground that
federal Intervention was unwarranted be-
cause the production and consumption of
absinthe is restricted to a very small
part OF the country: 1t is. In fact. al
most unknown in the German cantons.
It was represented that the people of the
cantons interested in its production and
sale had sufficient authority to protect
the public against it's use. and that 1t
could be left to them to take the neces-
sary steps, It was also argued that the
