LIQUOR SELLING
NOT A FELONY
ROSS LAW lNVALlO-CRlmlNAL
COURT DECLARES oFFENSE
ONLY MiSOEMEANOR.

Until th. passage o. further lesis la
ton, selling liquor 10 minors can b,
prosecuted only as misiemeano
and not as felony. under a decision
o. the criminal cour, handed dow
Monday which holds the Ross Law
passed by the 1909 legislature. fxina
The punishment for that ofense a
from one 10 five years imprisonment
unconstitutional because it increase.
the minimum penalty fixed by the con
s.iwtion Tor the sale of liquor.
The court specifically holds tha,
rhe constitutional provision is not a
limitation on the power OF the legis
lawre 10 fix such a maximum penalty
as is provided by this law, and TO de
clare such an offense a felony 1t Is
further held that the constitutional
provision is all embracing in its terms
and includes the sale to minors; that
the legislature can not remit the con
s-itutional requirements that the OF
fcnse be punished by fine OF not less
than $50 and Imprisonment for not
less than thirty days, and that while
the legislature may fix a maximum II
can not change the minimum and the
act is therefore unconstitutional and
void.
1t is pointed out that the constitu-
tion follows the language of the en-.
ablins act, except az it extends the
law over the entire state, and the be
lief is expressed that congress "pur.
posely omitted to declare a maximum
punishment in order that the legisla-
ture might be free to fix it as future
conditions might render proper, even
varying such punishment as it saw fit,
according to the age, sex, condition
OF the person to whom the liquor
should be dispensed, the nature of
the liquor sold, the manner of the sale
and the status of the seller"
The opinion is written by Judge d.
\. Richardson of Durant former judge
of the criminal court, who sat as a spe-
cial Judge in this case. Judge Arm
strong. while on the district bench,
had held the law constitutional, and
therefore felt some embarrassment in
regard to sitting in this case The
case in which the opinion is rendered
T.; that of John Nowakewski, from Pot

and remanded with instructions to
certify the Indictment and record to
the court having jurisdiction, which

the county court.
The same order is made in the
cases of Porter Meek. from Pottawa.
tonic county; Grover Kester. Greer
county. and Ed Evans, Greer county,
all charged with the same offense.
A slight difference is found in the
case of Fred Wychoff of Okfuskee
county, who was prosecuted by infor-
nation. The court holds that a case
properly a misdemeanor can not even
be transferred by the district court
when prosecuted under information,
and that this case must therefore be
dismissed. Oklahoman.
