COVERED THE ENTIRE
DRASTIC FIELD

These bills, six in number. covered tho
entire field of drastic temperance laws
Two prevented inter and intra-state shi J.
ment of liquor The first was intended to
perfect the Webb act OF Congress as ap-
piled to Tennessee, for under the peculiar
four-mile law of the state, the common
wealth Is not regarded as prohibition
state. The statewide law that is but an
extention of the four-mile law means
that intoXicants cannot be sold within
four miles of an institution of learning.
This wording under the strict con-
struction keeps Tennessee from being
put strictly in the prohibition class of
states.
Another Hooper law meant that
judges could be interchanged to get
the temperance inclined to preside over
the wet territory. There was law to
provide for the removal of derelict city
officials and an act to require muni-
cipalities to enforce the state laws gov
erning the liquor traffic. Still another
statute proposed to close all saloons
under the nuisance plan.
When the general assembly recon-
yened September IL it was little
thought that the pet measures would
ever see the light of day, with Mayor
Crump and his IL Memphis legislators
standing with the regular democrats Of
the general assembly. However upon
coming up in the senate, the bills on
the jug traffic and the nuisance act
secured the support of three regulars,
Messrs. Elkins. Pope and Maxwell, and
were passed in that body.
