| Mr. ALLEN of Jonesboro: Mr..
| Speaker, this bill relates to making
| uniform the percentage of alcohol in
intoxicating liquors and was reported
| unanimously by the committee. The
purport of the bill is to make the Maine
| law correspond with the law of the
| United States I presume the members
| of the House may be aware of the fact
| that there is at the present time no le-
gal standard. The courts have decid-
| ed that per cent, or liquors contain
| ing ) per cent. of alcohol are intoxi-
cants; but that ruling is without any
| law and the purpose of this bill is SIM
| ply to make a standard that should
| correspond with that of the United
| States, and it seems to me there is no
good reason why this matter should
be tabled; and l make the motion that
the bill be taken from the table.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr Allen then moved that the bill
be passed to be enacted.
Mr. Rounds of Portland moved that
the bill be tabled and be taken up to-
morrow morning.
MIR. ALLEN: Mr.. Speaker. does the
| motion of the gentleman from Port
land have precedence?
The SPEAKER: The motion to post
pone to a day certain has precedence
over the motion to place the bill upon
its passage to be enacted.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr.. Speaker. then call
for division of the House.
The SPEAKER: The gentleman from
Portland, Mr.. Rounds, moves that fur
Their consideration of the bill be post
pcned till tomorrow. The gentleman
from Jonesboro. Mr. Allen, asks for a
division upon that question.
A division being had. 40 voted in the
affirmative and 81 in the negative.
So the motion to postpone further
consideration until tomorrow was car
ried.
Finally Passed.
Resolve. in favor of Herbert l.. Kim
ball.
