 LEGISLATION THAN
 EVER IS PROPOSED

 Exempt from Referendum

 TUCSON Jan. l3.-That the pro
 hibition amendment as passed at the last election is not drastic enough to | smt some is shown ya bin which
 has been drawn to be introduced at
 the coming session of the legislature, printed copies of which have been re. ceived in Tucson
 The bill which it is reported was
 drafted by the Temperance Fedora. ton, is evidently aimed to help the legislature in carrying out the section ] of the constitutional amendment
 which says "the legislature shall by appropriate legislation provide for the carrying into effect of this amend mcnt"
 The proposed law, which is de- Clared in iself 10 be an emergency measure. and thus exempt from the referendum feature of the consum ton defines what is to be liquor in legal sense in Arizona, and makes the prohibition against such liquors much more stringent than did the amendment which was proclaimed the most drastic measure of the kind ever proposed
 lt also provides more severe pun ishments for violation than does the amendment jim that it makes a sec ond offense a felony punishable by five years Imprisonment in the pen itentiarv and provides system for securing evidence of violation. pro cedure for prosecutions and methods Ui enforcing the law generally.
 Probably Che most drastic feature of the law is the one that makes it a crime to keep liquor in a private home for the personal use of the owner this is prima facie evidence of vio- lation of Che law and also empowers l officers to break into house in search of such evidence without a search warrant 1t aso definitely makes the giving away of liquor uu lawful
 The bill makes advertising liquor !. an olfeuse equal to selling or having 1. it extending the prohibition to adver 1 dsements in newspapers or other pub ]. ucauons and on bill boards. as well as 1, to circulars price lists. catalogues, i etc. and makes an offender fany one who prints O publishes O ral.ows ! such advertisements to be posted or l displayed on his premises
 An malt or brewed preparations l whether intoxicating or not are de- clarcd to be liquors under the law . and any preparation containing so l much as one-haf of one per cent ale | cohol is listed as a spirituous liquor .
 One section O fthe bin is evidently ! amed to remove from the amendment ! cortan features that have already !. proved undesirably drastic In this l this section certain exceptions in re- l gard to handling liquors are made. . Denaured alcohol is definitely eE-| cepted .as it is in the amendment and | alcohol for the use of druggists in l Limited quantities is excepted. but l its use placed unde rthe most string 1 eut regulations and restrictions, and . wine for sacwmental purposes is also l excepted.
 It is noticeable, however. that there ! is n oeXception made for the sale of 1 alcohol for scientific purposes, and !. in fact pure graf nalcohol cannot be . sold at all except to druggists. Drug gists are allowed to sell alcohol only . fin mixture with other preparations. . Neither is any exception made in fay- or of navoring extracts or similar preparations
 Following the bin as printed in pamphlet form is Legislative brief. in which are cited many court decis- l ions showing the right of the legi7 lature to ampIyfy the prohibition amendment by legislation. Many Of 1 the citations however definitely say | that while the legislature can further . Iegis.ate on the prohibition matter . t cannot modify or detract from the ] Amendment. and none of them show ! .thath tie legislature has the right to ! make any notifications or exceptions, ! as is attempted
