PROPOSES
TO KEEP DEALERS IN
LIQUORS OFF BOND
Woodbury. Legislator Says Bill
Will Have Moral Eject on
Liquor Business.

Des Moines. Ia, Jan. 18.-Persons en-
gagged directly or indirectly in the sale
of intoxicating liquors will not be al
lowed to sign bonds for those accused
of crime If a bill presented in the house
today by u. G. Whitney, OF Woodbury.
county, is passed.
An exception is provided in the bill,
whereby a person engaged in liquor
traffic a furnish bail if he is related
by blood or marriage to the mar
charged.
Mr.. Whitney is of the opinion that
liquor dealers who are attempting te
conduct their business with the least
possible evil do not want to sign bonds
to release al. ed criminals from jail
but that they often are obliged to dc
SO because Of business practices. He
believes that the enactment of the Law
provided in his bill will a cOnsid.
cradle moral effect in every wet com.
munity and will assist in prosecutions
to q great extent.
Pressure is Exerted.
During my experience as a county
attroney, ] often found h a prominent
liquor dealers were practically forced
criminal %offenses On threats of loss OF
business" said Mr.. Whitney. "Often.
times the prominent liquor dealers were
obliged to furnish bail for men whom.
they did not know, but who were o
nected in some manner with his
toners.
' For instance, a wholesale liquor
dealer has a large number of customers
In a community. A friend Of one OF
the retail dealers is arrested. The
Wholesale dealer is called upon to sign
bonds. He does not want to do SO
but must to retain his business.
ION the other hand, there are saloons
