The county option bill, which
passed the senate several weeks ago,
has passed the house by vote OF
sc to 81.
The vote was taken after the house
had been in session ten continuous
hours, nine of which were devoted to
a consideration of the county option
bill.
One amendment was made to the
bill as it passed the senate. This ex'
tends the time from sixty days to six
months in which saloons must close
after a county votes dry.
The senate promptly approved the
house amendment and the bill now
goes to the governor.
The county option law will take eft
feet as soon as it is signed by Gov
ernor Hammond, but it will not elimi.
nate any saloons until they are voted
out by counties. The machinery for
this process is simple.
When a petition, signed by Is pei
cent of the voters of a county, based
Oh the number cast for governor al
the last election, is presented to the
county auditor asking for a special
election, the auditor is required to is
sue an order for the election. 1t must
take place on a Tuesday, not less
than forty or more than fifty days at
ter the fling of the petition. The
usual machinery is provided for the
election and both "wets" and "drys'
arc to be represented on the election
board in each precinct The ballots
will read:
"Shall the sale of liquor be prohib
ited?" with blanks for marking Eyes
or mo-" If majority votes ''yes,'
then the county goes dry" No more
saloon licenses may be issued and
every saloon in the county must close
up within six months.
If the county votes wet" then the
present local option law remains in
force and each city or village may Ii
cense saloons or not, as it pleases
In either case the question may not
be submitted again in that county for
three years.
