 "The provision of the law that no further consent will be required for the period of l2 months after consent has been obtained, is simply to prev ent the necessity of a person holding such license from being harassed in the enjoyment of same for the period of one year.
 "There is absolutely nothing in the law which intimates that it was the intention of Congress that an election might be held for the purpose of as certaining that the consent of a majority of the citizens, and that such consent when so obtained should be binding upon the community for the period of one year. There are no rules or regulations in the statute for the holding of such elections; and had Congress intended that the consent of the community was to be expressed in such a manner it would have surely provided the ways and means for the holding of such election at the time of the passage of the act; on the other hand Congress has provided and it is so written in the act the mode to be adopted-via: by petition"
