Fer Dry Zone.
Sacramento, March 31.-General
oratory attended arguments ON the
Butler bill creating a mile dry zone
around state educational institutions
when it came up for final passage
IN the senate today. Butler, Brown
and Duncan spoke for the bill Wolfe
led the opponents.
: Brown used figures frequently re-
ferred to during the recent state cam
paign, asserting that "liquor-made'
crime costs the state S37 100000 an
nually.
Wolfe charged the origin of the bill
to "Prohibition workers under salary.
who come each year to the legislature
to stir up turmoil and give them some
thing to do to earn their salaries"
Wolfe pointed to C. M. Gandier,
Prohibitionist, in the lobby, who i'm
ediately retiring to the gallery.
Speaking for the bill, Duncan de-
clared prohibition surely is con,inp
and the people are better prepared to
meet it.
