LAWYERS OPPOSE ABOLISH
NENT OF COUNTY COURTS
TOPIC PROVES PRINCIPAL SUB
JECT BEFORE STATE BAR
MEETING AT o. c.

Oklahoma CITY, Dec 29.-The lead
ing topic at the morning session Of
the state bar association at Oklaho-
ma city today was the abollshment
Of the county courts of the state
Judging from the trend Of the argu-
ments 80 per cent Of the lawyers at
the meeting are against discarding
the county court.
Am amendment to the state const-
tuition was authorized by the last leg
islature and will be submitted to the
voters next August
1t is predicted by some Of the law
yers that if the county courts are tax
IN away it would result in an increase
o. the district courts or district court
judges and that where there is now
enc Judge in a district two will be
needed in the event the constitutional
aemndment is carried.
1t is understood that some lawyers
Who are opposed to the abolishment
of the county courts will bring the
natter up at the bar meeting and at
tempt to place the association on
record. This would, it is thought,
have considerable influence in de-
.eating the measure. 1t is argued that
the county courts are a necessity in

EIGHT MILLIONS ADDED
TO PROHIBITION RULE


Chicago Dee 20 statewide prohi-
bition Will become effective in seven
states with the coming OF the new
year They are Colorado. Iowa Wash
ington, Oregon Idaho, Arkansas, and
South Carolina. When Virginia clos,
e its saloons on Nov. l, 1916, nins-
teen states win have joined the dry
column.
Nebraska, California, Michigan,
South Dakota, Vermont and the ter
ritory Of Alaska will vote on prohibit
ton next year and several other states
are expected TO ballot on the question.
The seven states which board the
water cart next Friday midnight add
population Of S,254O43 to the dry
ranks, according to the 1910 census.
Colorado Shuts 800 Bars.
Colorado's turning to the drys is
the greatest blow OF the year 10 thN
saloons. Sixteen hundred dramshops
and eleven breweries will be put out
Of business in that state. After Fri
day midnight liquor can be obtained
only four ounces at a time, on non
refillable prescription OF a physician
and liquor advertisements may not
appear in colorado newspapers after
New Years.
The plan to have several thousand
hartenders and brewery workers
march on the governor and make a
demand for employment is disconcert-
ing officials.
The remaining 4S3 saloons, and Kx-
teen breweries, in Iowa viii close be-
cause Of the repeal of the mulcit law
by the legislature a year ago. The
breweries which go out of business
are capitalized at 1926, 1868.
Arkansas Has Drastic Law
In Arkansas 1876 saloons will go on
of business under the most stringent
prohibition law in the United States.
Under local option elections all ex-
cept six of the seyenty-five counties
have been dry for some months. The
new law provides one year in the
for violations, and clubs
are prohibited from serving drinks to
members.
Tdahos 200 saloons will close under
the drum tight prohibition law. An
attack on the law is now before the
United States supreme court on APP
neal
Police were called Yesterday in
rany counties in South Carolina to
lid in handling the crowds which are
forming dispensaries before their
closing. After the first each citizen
has the right to receive one gallon
Of whisky or beer a month.
