Bismarck, N. D., Feb. Ex-Governor
Hanna made the report requested to
the house late today relating to The
condition Of the capitol building fund
showing $1,133,963 Gas the fund with
which to build.n In his report the
governor says in part:
"The older part of the building is a
fretrap and the library Of the supreme
court, which has cost the state between
$4,000 and 100000 is menace By
reason Of its great weight, to the safe.
ty of the building of part Of it, and
in case of fire, 1t would be absolutely
impossible to save it or any part Of
it. If new building is contemplated
by the legislature it would take ap-
proximately the next two years to dis
pose Of lands, to secure plans and ~.
semble material to build with.

Webb Liquor Bill May:
Y: Cause Court Contest;
Opponents Plan Fight

sights Of individuals living in "dry
states to buy liquor from wet state
and bring it in for their own use, Sen
ator Kenyon said:
'"The Webb act does not, for in
stance, prohibit Washington dealer
IN liquors from selling his product in
to Virginia or North Darolina for per-
sonal use. The reason is that neither
of these states nor any Others have
ever prohibited the personal use of H.
quor. To prohibit such use would oe
unconstitutional.
"The law, if it becomes law, is
clearly unconstitutional, for the reason
that congress has an absolute and de-
fined right to regulate interstate com
merce. If congress chose to declare
liquor as a contraband of commerce,
then it would be so declared and the
supreme court would sustain it.
cit is obvious, therefore, that if coa-
gress can declare liquor a contrabaud
OF commerce it can do the lesser thing
cit is patent to anybody who knows
anything about this legislation, how
ever, that the only purpose of the bill
is to prohibit the wholesale violations
Of state laws under the cloak of the
interstate commerce character of
liquor shipments.
cit is ridiculous to urge that ship
per does not know who his customer is
and does not know perfectly well to
what use the goods are to be put. Not
even the widest advocate of temper
ance if he knows anything about this
act, will argue that it applies to the
personal consumption of liquor.'
