1t answer this question. 7 simply

not answer IHlS question, aAmpty
ask it.
Contrary to the common under
standing on the streets, there is no
provision or penalty of prohibition,
authorizing amy law to be enacted
prohibiting any person from having
any amount of liquor in their home
or in their possession. They can
keep it and use it themselves, or
keep it In their possession, just so
long. as they do not attempt to sell,
exchange, give barter or dispose of
any Of it to any other person.
Therefore, what would prexeHt
liquor from being shipped into Ari-
zona to individuals by people outside
of the state, and If they used It
themselves. how could the courts; Of
Arizona get the man over in Cali
fornia and punish him?
Another thing and that is, that
the bona fide club will certainly
flourish in Arizona. If such clubs
car get the liquor shipped to them
it is no offense for them to receive
it and no offense for the members
of the club to drink it. This was
clearly decided in Arizona in the case
of Territory of Arizona VS.. Yavapai
club, by Judge Kent, and in the Ian
gUage of Mr.. Black in his work on
Intoxicating liquor, section 142, you
will find the reason.
IF the object of the club is mere
ly to provide the members with a
drink whenever they desire it, or if
the form of membership is no more
than a pretense so that any person,
without discrimination, can procure
liquor by signing his name in a book
or buying a ticket or a chip, thus
enabling the proprietor to conduct an
Illicit traffic, then such is prohibited
by the law. But, on the other hand,
if the club is organized and conducted
in good faith with limited and Sc
lected membership, really owning its
property in common and form for
social, literary. athletic or other pur-
poses to which the furnishing of IL
quor to its members would be mere
| ly incidental, in the same way and
to the same extent, that the supply
ing of dinners, card tables, pool,
bowling. or daily papers and maya
zines might be, then it cannot be
considered as within either the pur-
pose or letter of the law.
1T is therefore clear, that bona
fide clubs or homes, so long as it
was utilized by the members thereof,
can have all the liquor that they wish
and their only trouble would be in
getting someone outside of the state
! to ship it to them"
The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1914-11-20

U. S. Supreme Court. See also Adams
VS.. Kelly, As S. W. s59.
1T is clear, therefore, that the
present license liquor laws will con-
tinue in effect and all liquor dealers
who have licenses now or who secure
the same before the repeal by the
legislature, or by the people, of such
laws, can continue to sell liquor.
Another interesting question is
that while it is the duty OF the leg
isiature to perform all duties i'm
posed upon it by the constitution yet
if it fails to do so, and neglects or
quired, even by such mandatory pro-
visions of the constitution there is no
way to compel such legislature to
act. Vol. 8 Cyc page 1853. SCHUYLER v.
Burdoux, ga Miss. SO. In re State
Census, 81 N. W. 1923. Bowl v. Car
row, 10 Wis. 233.
This coming legislature could ne
glect or refuse to pass law enforc
ing this amendment and no one
could compel them to, as the enact
ment of laws is wholly within theii
discretion. Of course, direct Law
could be initiated, if the proper petit
lions were filed, but this could not
be passed upon until the next general
election, and even if it carried then,
would not go into force until the
next election, and the saloons would
continue until that time
again, even if the legislature did
act and pass a law enforcing this
amendment, yet under the referen-
dun such law would not go into ef-
defect until 80 days after the close of
the legislature unless it were passed by
two-thirds majority of both houses,
as an emergency measure, and it
would not go into effect even at the
end of the 80 days, if 5 per cent Of
the qualified electors would sign a
referendum petition, in which event
it would not become operative if
passed by the people, until the next
general election.
eft is very apparent that Arizona
will not be dry for some time to
come.
Therefore, answer your quee-
ton, that it will be until tn next
general election, at least, before the
saloons quit in Arizona.
Mark you, that until the present
license laws are repealed, anyone
manufacturing liquor can continue
to do so, and anyone selling the same
can continue to do so, until such
laws are repealed and a prohibition
law passed, under the authority of
this amendment to the constitution.
while we are on this question, let
me call your attention to some other

a CONTRARY OPINION.
phoenix Republican,


! Whether or not an attack is to be
made upon the prohibition amend
ment has not yet been decided. 1t
| is stated that the saloon-keepers of
Cochfse county have accepted the
situation and VIII not join in such a
movement, and many business men
who opposed the amendment in the
campaign for economic reasons are
unwilling to take part In any further
agitation Of the subject.
The chief point of attack, in case
one should be made, win be that clause
of the amendment directing the legis-
Iature to- enact such legislation as
may be necessary to give the law full
effect, though a previous section de-
c1ares that it shall be effective on
January 1, 1915. The prohibitory
section of the amendment is drawn in
the. form Of a Law; in fact, in the
exact form of the federal statute for
bidding the Introduction of liquor in
to the Indian country. The offense
is defined and the punishment pre-
scribed.
The direction to the legislature was
not to set the machinery in motion,
since that was intended to become
operative under the enactment itself,
but to enact such legislation as
might facilitate its operation. There
was in mind such law as the Kan
sas custer law of 1909, which gave
the governor the power to remove Off
cials who should neglect or refuse to
enforce the law.
An extended opinion by a Prescott
attorney holds that any constitutional
amendment requires a legislative en-
actment to make it operative, and he
cites several decisions. Yet, there
is a provision of the Arizona constitu-
ton, perhaps unlike any in the con-
situations of the states whence these
decisions came, and under which, it
appears, an amendment may become
operative without the subsequent as
sistance of the legislature.
Section 5, Article W: ANY meas
ure or mandment of the constitution
proposed under the initiative, and
measure to which the referendum Is
the qualified electors and shall be-
come law when approved by major
ity of the votes cast thereon and
upon proclamation by the governor
and not otherwise.
The only want of harmony, which
is evidently not fatal, is the fixing Of
the date of the effectiveness of the
amendment, on January 1, 1915, when
the constitution declares it shall be-
come law on proclamation by the gov

PRESCOTT ATTORNEY
HOLDS DRY ACT
FAULTY

A prominent Prescott attorney
of that city to render an opinion on
the prohibition amendment has rem
dered an opinion that it is faulty.
The following is his opinion printed
for what it is worth.
First. The amendment to the con
stitution. is not self-executing. It is
of no force until either the legisla.
ture acts or the people, by initiative
law, carry said amendment into eff
feet.
THE amendment itself clearly
shows that it is not self-executing
because it specifically provides that
the legislature shall, by appropriate
legislation, provide for the carrying
into effect of this amendment.
THE latest section of the propos-
ed amendment says that it shall take
effect and be in force on the first
day of January, 1915. This clearly
means that the legislature of the
state of Arizona shall have no au-
thority to pass appropriate legisla-
ton to carry such amendment into
effect until after the first of Janu-
airy, 1915.
1T is the universal rule of the
law that where constitutional pro-
vision either expressly or implicitly
requires legislative action to give eff
feet to the purpose contemplated, 1t
is not self-executing."
Here he cited the following au-
thorities:
American G English Cyc. of Law
Vol. 6, page 915. Missouri VS.. Texas,
10, Fed. 497. Spiney VS.. Griffith, SO
Cal. 149.
For instance, the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the United States Constitu-
ton was held by the United States SUI
preme Court, not to be self-executing.
U. s. VS.. Reese, go U. S. 314. See also
Vol. Cyc., page 752. State VS..
Bradford, 80 N w. 142.
I'm this last case, similar amend
ment was voted to the constitution,
and the court squarely held that the
adoption of such an amendment was
not self-executing and that this
adoption of such an amendment did
not operate to repeal the existing
liquor license statute. See also
