Prohibition submission has lost
out for want of concurrent action
between the two houses of the Gen
eral Assembly and thus there is no
probability that the question may
be pnt before the people now for
several years to come, for there
seems to be much doubt in the
minds of those who have made a
study of such course that resort
to the initiative ald referendum
would be Intellectual because of
legal DEFICIENCIES in the process.
But while tie question has met its
defeat for the present it is not dead,
and unless there is a revolution in
the spirit and methods of the liquor
element it will rise up with great
er force in 1910, when it will be a
heavy factor in determining the
election Of members to the legisla-
ture. Now that an impartial re-
view of the proceeding of the re-
cent session on the prohibition
question may be made. it appears
to Us that there was never any
chance of it's submission from that
body. While both the House and
Senate appeared to be so vitality
interested in the demand of the
people for submission as to pass 81
resolution in each body favoriDg
submission, both the representa-
tives and senator's took care that
their respective resolutions were so
shaped that there would be no mu-
tnHl concurrence upon them. The
House, which was dominated by
the Republicans, passed the reso-
luton as the prohibitioDists want
ed it. So much to the credit of
the House. The Senate. on the
other hand, passed the resolution
with an amendment to increase the
taxes for state purposes 100 per
cent, or as the brewers aud distill-
ers wanted it. The latter felt sure
that if the question went before
the people burdened with the tax
rider it would be defeated at the
polls, and even in the event that it
had carried there. the tax PROPOSE
| tion would have invalidated it at a
test in the courts. Under the law
each proposed change in the con-
stitution must be voted upon sep
arately. So the Senate's action in
adding the tax rider was conspicu-
ously in the interest of the liquor
traffic.

While the Republicans and Dem
ocrats may not be trading places
exactly they are shifting ground
to quite noticeable extent. A few
years ago the Democrats would
have fought the Republicans tooth
and toe nail ON any kind of tariff
proposition, and likewise the Re-
publicans we're always ready to
give their opponents the boot
whenever they sprung the propos
ed income tax. Now we see lots
of Democrats in Congress advocat-
ing protection, and Republican
president recommending an income
tax law. Perhaps in another de
cade or 90 the Democrats and Re
publicans will be rolled into one
party.
