ARKANSAS DRY"
LAW NOT VALID
MOOSE SAYS RECENT
ANTi-LlQUoR LEGISLATION
UNCoNSTiTUTIONA

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 23.-In the
opinion of Acknowledgement William
l.. Moose, of Arkansas, the law enact
ed at a recent session of the leeisla-
ture to regulate the issuance of liquor
licenses in this state, is unconstitu-
tional. The law, which went into eff
feet Jan. /, makes the consent of a
majority of all the white adults of a
community requisite to the issuance
of a license to conduct a saloon. Dis
elimination against negro adults, the
encouragement contends, makes the
law invalid
The encouragement made this an
nouncement when he learned that an
opinion which he had prepared but
which he had decided to withhold for
the present at least, had disappeared
from his office. The opinion had been
requested by the prosecuting attorney
of Hot Springs, where a suit to test
the validity of the law is to be filed.
The enforcement of the law, pro
hibition advocates contend, would
make the greater part of the state
dry" With the exception of seyera
cities where petitions meeting the re
quirements of the law have been Sc
curd, all the saloons in Arkansas hay,
been closed since Jan. l.

Washington, Jan. 2s,-President
Wilson's trust message bore its first
fruit Thursday, when a bill to create
an interstate trade commission was
introduced in the house.
Following a conference between
Attorney general McReynolds, Sena-
tor Newlands of the Interstate Com
merce committee, Representative
Clayton, chairman, and other mem,
bers of the Judiciary subcommittee.
Mr. Clayton submitted the measure.
and it was referred to the Interstato
and Foreign Commerce COMMITTEES.
An effort by Senator Newlands to
introduce the bill simultaneously in
the senate failed, owing to debate on
| the Alaska railroad bill.
President Wilson told callers that he
| resal0s the group of bills as reason
ably homogeneous and that he expects
prompt action.
| The President reiterated his desire
that business men should be given a
full opportunity, in public hearings,
to express their views and critize.
While the President recommended
in his message supervision by the In
terstate Commerce Commission of the
Issuance of railroad securities, Ae
took occasion Thursday to emphzlnze
that this did not mean necessarf1v
that past issues would be inquired
into, or affected by the present lexis-
iation. Nor did the President cor:
slider that the regulation Of railwa}
securities has anything to do win

cratic platform, and he did not feel
that he should recommend anything

The fact I have always tried to

market to those of big shipper. So
it is up to him to be a big shipper
And the only way he can be a big
