OLD AND new DRY
LAWS ARE UPHELD
STATE SUPREME COURT SAYS
GOVERNOR HAS RIGHT TO
CALL EXTRA SESSION.

Deciding three cases from Savan-
nah the state supreme court has up
held the constitutionality of the pro-
hibition law enacted by the extraor-
binary session of the general as
sembly in November, 1915.
Two Points Decided.
Two of the points so decided
would apply with Ike force to the
present bone-dry law if it was at
tackled. These are:
That the governor has the au-
thority to call an extraordinary SEES
sion of the legislature to pass pro-
hibition legislation and that a person
who has more than the quantity of
liquors permitted in his possession
after the law becomes effective, not
withstanding he may have obtained
them prior to that time, is guilty of
violating the law On this latter
point Chief Justice Fish and Justice
Atkinson dissent. They hold that the
law cannot be retroactive. However,
all justices agree on the constitution
atty of the law enacted by an ex-
traordinary session.
Cases Decided.
The cases were those of Andrew
D. Barbour, John D. Bunger and
Castos Lagos. All were convicted in
the Savannah city court of having
in their possession a greater quanti-
ty of liquors than were PERMITTED
under the law. Each contended that
he had acquired the liquors prior
to May l, 1916, and therefore had
right to keep it. Bunger attacked
the constitutionality of the law, and
based his attack on the authority
of the governor to call an extraor-
binary session for the enactment of
prohibition legislation.
The court held that the governor
alone is to determine when there is
an extraordinary occasion for con-
vening the legislature.
Takes Issue.
In the decision on the Barbour
case, written by Justice Gilbert, the
court took issue with the conten-
ton that having possession of liquor
prior to the date it was outlawed as
follows:
"That this contention is unsound
we entertain no doubt. Intoxicating
/ liquors are peculiarly beyond all cavil
the subject of the police power of
the state, and their inherent evil
qualities are so well recognized as to
form an unquestioned basis for the
exercise of such power
"The exercise of this power by the
legislature as we'll as the adjudica-
lions of the courts have been pro-
gressive toward the complete outlaw
ing of Intoxicating liquors. The
present nearly harmonious view of
the question did not always prevail.
There was time when many things
now forbidden by laws because harm
/ full to the public morals, were per-
mitted to flourish without let or him
drance. Lotteries, bucketshops and
numerous other things were consid-
cred legitimate. Few will now be
found to defend any of these.
Dangerous Character.
"The dangerous character of alco-
holic liquors is universally recogniz-
ed by the courts. The fact that it is
an article fraught with such danger
Gus perilS to the morals, good order,
health and safety of the people places
it upon a different plane from any
other kind of husinesS +"
