lddhO'S Drastic
Prohibition Law
LEADS ALL DRY STATES in STRICTNESS
Prohibits Manufacture, Disposal, Transportation
Or Having Liquor

When Idaho becomes a prohi-
bition district, January 1, 1916,
as provided by the terms of house
bill No. li2, which was passed by
the senate last week and was
transmitted to The governor for
his signature, and the terms of
senate bill No. so, which also
passed the legislature, making
enforcement of statewide prohi-
bition possible, this state will
probably be under the strictest
dry laws ever enacted by any
state i'm the union. If the con-
slilulional prohibition amend
ment question is acted favorably
on in the fall of 1916 amending
the constitution of the state to
make Idaho permanently prohibi-
tion territory The last word in
dry legislation will have been said
in this state, and the saloon ban
ished forever.
The statewide prohibition en-
aclment house bill No. ll2, as it
is familiarly known, merely de-
clares that on and after January
I, 1916, Idaho will be a prohibi-
ton district It is the terms of
senate bill No. so that then ap-
