Madison-The Heden bill prohibit
ing treating to intoxicating liquors
has been sent to engrossment in
the assembly after a motion to kill
the bill was defeated by a vote of A
TO 80. Under the terms of the bill as
it now stands, treating to intoxicating
liquors is prohibited, except that a
man may treat his wife and there may
be treating at a banquet. Every sa-
loonkeeper must put sign over his
bar stating that under the state law
treating is prohibited. At the opening
of the debate Assemblyman Engebret'
son, chairman Of the committee on ex-
else and fees, sent a letter to the
speakers desk, which was read, in
which Attorney General Owen held
that the antitreating law was consti-
tutional. Assemblyman Heden said he
believed the bill would remove many
OF the Objectionable features IN the
liquor traffic. Assemblyman Minkley
said he had noticed that in saloons
where there were signs prohibiting
vulgar language and swearing better
saloon was conducted, and he believed
that a bill discouraging treating would
have the same effect. The measure
will come up for final action by the
house about next Wednesday.
