Denver
In brief filed in the State Su.
preme Court. Attorney John w. Hell,
big contends that the prohibition
amendment to the state constitution
absolutely prohibits the Importation
into Colorado Of liquor for personal
use after prohibition becomes effec-
tive Jan. l. He therefore asserts
that the prohibition penalty law
passed by the General Assembly Is un-
constitutional. because 1t provides
regulations permitting and governing
the importation OF liquors for per-
sonal use In conflict with the consti.
tuition. His brief was filed in the
case pending before the Supreme
Court involving the right of the Leg
islature to insert the safety clause in
the prohibition penalty law to pre-.
vent referendum of the law to the
people. A referendum petition, signed
by 20,235 electors, was presented to
Secretary Of State Ramer, but he de.
cfined to accept 1t on the ground that
the safety clause In the bill prohibits
a referendum.
