ARIZONA DRUGGISTS
GET OPINION ON
DRY AMENDMENT
cite Decision of Supreme Court Of
Kansas in Support of Their State
n1ents That Arizona Prohibition
Amendment Will Prevent Use OF
Alcohol for Medicinal Purposes.

Prescott, Arizona, Sept. 16-Armed
with opinions from leading Arizona
LAWYERS and a recent decision of the
Supreme Court of Kansas, the drug
gists of Arizona have begun an ex-
tensive campaign against statewide
prohibition.
The Pharmaceutical Association Of
Arizona, an organization which in
cludes practically every druggist IN
the state, will conduct the campaign
with Prescott as Headquarters and
effective work has already begun.
Satisfied that the prohibition
am endment will greatly injure the
drug business and work hardship on
the people as well as themselves, the
druggists will make their campaign
an educational one-informing the
voters of the state of the destructive
effects of the measure.
The Association recently obtained
opinions from prominent lawyers OF
the state, including the attorney gem
erals office, to the effect that the
amendment would prevent the bring
ing into the state of alcohol for med1-
cinal purposes.
This was denied by the prohibition
leaders but decision of the Kansas
Supreme Court handed down last
month seems to have settled the mat
ter. The court decided that Jamaica
ginger was an Intoxicating beverage
and that any, druggist who sold 1t
was liable to punishment for violating
the prohibitory law. The decision
also put under the ban, lemon and
vanilla extracts, cologne, camphor and
similar tinctures, extracts and essen
ces. Any of these, the court held,
which would make man drunk, are
to be classed as intoxicating liquors.
There is little doubt that any court
would construe the Arizona amend
ment in like manner as it is the boast
of it's trainers that it is even more
drastic than the Kansas amendment.
Druggists Pass Resolutions.
The following resolution has been
passed by the Publicity Committee OF
the Pharmaceutical Association OF
Arizona:
At the called meeting of the Pub
licity Committee of the Pharmaceuti
cal Association held at Prescott, IT
WAS RESOLVED:
WHEREAS, The proposed amend
ment to the Arizona Constitution to
tally prohibits the importation anG
sale of alcohol for any purpose, Of
under any pretense by druggists, Of
other persons, or by medical men II
their treatment of the sick, and
WHEREAS, if said amendment
should carry, it would entail great
hardship, loss and endless litigation
upon our profession, as of great dan
ger and injustice to those sickly ones
so much dependent upon us. BE II
HEREBY RESOLVED,
THAT the Association denounce and
protest against said amendment as
being vicious, ill.considered and hall
baked legislation, deliberately direct
ed by extremists against the worthy

Little Activity in Pig Iron
New Blast Furnaces.

little activity I'm the market for pig iron.
The Iron Age" will say to-day: In
the finished steel trade the first half OF
March has been disappointing. There is
the hope that as the active season adj
yances improvement will come, but little
evidence is seen as yet.
so FAR as can be learned, independent
steel companies did not make gains in un-
filled orders last month IN proportion to
those OF the Steel Corporation. Some of
the former, however. have had fuller
blast furnace operation than the Steel
Corporation. the corporations percentage
now being IS after the blowing In of five
furnaces last week and the blowing out
of one. The Steel Corporation has 50
per cent Of ingot capacity active this
