ANTI-ROAOHOUSE LAW VALID
State Supreme Court Puts an End to
the Issuing of Saloon Licenses
by County Boards.

The anti-roadhouse law was held
valid by the state supreme court in a
decision handed down in the case of
William l.. Kohlman, who was arrest
ed on the charge of operating blind
pig at Kohlman's lake near st. Paul.
The decision of Judge Michael of the
Ramsey county district court is re-
versed.
The court passed on the alleged ir-
regularities which it was urged made
the law void. The defendant urged
that the law was not legally passed
because the house failed to suspend
the rules by two-thirds vote to per-
NIT the second and third readings Of
the bill on the same day.
The supreme court held this is not
necessary, but that the passage of the
law by vote of more than two-thirds
OF the house automatically suspended
the rules. They held also that it re-
quires no particular formalities to
suspend the rules, but that the body
itself by its action may overcome all
such objections.
The decision puts an end to the
granting of liquor licenses by county
boards and holds that only duly in
corporated cities and villages may
grant such licenses.

BOARD POWERLESS TO ACT
Says Telephone Rates Took Effect
Prior to July I.

Says Telephone Rates Took Effect
Prior to July I.
The state railroad and warehouse
commission in letter told the traffic
division of the Minneapolis Civic and
Commerce association that it had no
power to prevent the telephone COM
panies from increasing their rates
prior to July I, when the commission
assumed control of the rates, and that
the commission did not have power
to compel the companies to restore
the rates that prevailed before the
companies changed rates in May and
June.
The association asked the commits,
sion to use it's influence with tho
Northwestern Telephone company,
which changed it's rates May 1, and
the Tri-State Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which changed it's
rates June 1, to get them to restore
the old rates as a basis for rate ad-
justment by the commission.
The rate changes announced by the
companies in general increased the
rates and the Civic and Commerce as
sociation contended that the rates in
force when the law was passed should
be used as a basis for adjustment by
the commission.
