One "DTy" Measure Boiled
DoDn TO Only II5 Words

State Capitol, Salem-Ail pending
Legislation intended 10 make effective
the prohibition amendment enacted by
the people at the election last Novem-
ber is embraced In bin Of precisely
1I5 words introduced In the house by
Representative Cardwell. Of Douglas
county. The Cardweil bill. which. It's
author says, il all that 10 necessary to
make Oregon as dry as the proverbial
bone, is:
Amy person or persons who shall,
after the first day Of January. 1916,
manufacture, sell or have In his, her
or their possession for the purpose Of
sale, any intoxicating liquor Of any
nature shall be deemed guilty Of a mis-
demeanor and upon conviction. thereof
shall be punished by fine In sum Of
not less than $500 or more than $1,000,
or by imprisonment in the county Jail
for term not exceeding six months;
provided, however, that this act shall
not snrly TO licensed physicians pre-
scribing al ,oholic ligrors for medicinal
purposes or the sale thereof for scien-
tific, sacramental or mechanical pur-
poses. All laws and parts Of laws in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed. !"
In striking contrast TO this measure
is the Committee Of One Hundreds
bill containing about 5000 words, and
the bill of Representative Lewis, con-
tanning about 5000 words, either de-
signed TO carry into effect the pro-
hibition amendment. The Cardwell
bill is proclaimed by its author as con-
tanning more real Legislation than the
two others combined.
"My bill will do the work" said
Representative Cardwell. "You don't
need another word to drive every sa-
loon, brewery and distillery out Of the
state"
In explanation Of the provision that
will give physicians the right to pre-
scribe alcoholic liquors for medicinal
purposes, he declares that the constitu-
tional amendment requires that exeep-
tion be made.
'The amendment specifically pro-
vides," be said. that licensed physi-
clans be permitted to prescribe intoxi-
eating liquor for medicinal purposes.
Now this legislature cant go ahead
and pass a bill that win deny them
that nyiyiieOe Our law would be un-
constitutional If we would"
