ATED TOWNS-CUTS OUT NEAR
BEER.

Further progress in moral reform
in the state of Oregon, and, incident
ally, further endorsement by the SEN
ate of the program of Governor West,
was effected today when the Hoskins
bill for the prevention Of the sale of
liquor outside Of incorporated towns,
and prohibiting the sale even of near
beer in incorporated towns that are in
prohibition territory passed in the
upper house with 25 hearty ayes. The
measure was one of those drafted by
the governor.
The bill takes away from the coun-
ty courts the power to issue liquor
licenses, 1t was not passed in exact
| ly the form in which it was originally
introduced, but was weakened very
little by amendment The amendment
to the bill merely made it none-effec-
tive against the sale of liquors on
| trains.
Carson Bill Passes.
The bill introduced by Senator Car
son, Of Marion county, relating to de-
crees and judgments, an amendment
to section 54S, Lords Oregon Laws,
passed the senate. Senator Joseph
debated against the bill on the ground
that it would provide rule by injunc-
tion. On the other hand Senator
Thompson argued that it would pre-
vent government by injunction, and
that if Joseph did not believe in gov
ernment by injunction he ought to
vote for the bill.
