BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 1s.-Judge

decided that the law passed by the last

This was test case of the law. In
rendering his opinion Judge Bennett
said in part:
The proviso in said section, whereby
man who has been engaged in the
business of selling intoxicating liquors
a a given place for six months is per-
mitted to continue to sell such liquors,
while man who has been engaged in
such business for only months and
29 days is prohibited from continuing
such business. is so clearly in violation
OF the provisions of the constitution
requiring all laws of general nature
to have a uniform operation that no
judge or court ought to shirk the duty
of declaring such statute to be un-

FARMERS REFUSE TO SELL
WHEAT AT PRESENT PRICE
Stockton Grain Market in Ma
ture of Deadlock
Especial Diseaich TO The CaIll

STOCKTON, Aug. 13-The situation
in the local grain market is in the ma
ture of a deadlock, the dealers and
farmers being unable to reach any
agreement as to prices.
The high prices offered for wheat a
few weeks ago have spoiled" the
farmers, argue the dealers, and they
can not come down to the present quo
tations. There has been a general re-
duction on all lines of grain of 81 ton.
The crop this year in San Joaquin
county exceeds that of last year. AS
most Of the farmers are well to do
and as the weather conditions will per-
NIT them TO allow their grain to re-
main in the fields at least a month
more, they can afford to hold off from
selling.
Another reason assigned for the low
prices offered IS fear of Oregon grain
being imported The Oregon farmers
usually sell their stock as soon as
harvested.
