MRS. HUNGERFORD EXPLAINS
THE PROPOSED DRY LAWS

Denver, Colo. Jan. 10. 1917.
Dear Comrndes:
1t seems 20 be my duty 10 make
PLAIN the difference in tise temperance
bills in the legislature. The term
hone dry is deceiving the people.
No state has "bons dry" law and
none Is proposed for Colorado. The
West Virginia law is quoted continu.
ally. but il permits people TO bring
intoxicating liquors into the state for
their own personal use.
II bone dry" law were wise at
this time. il would not be constitu.
iional according to good legal author
ity. Consequently the question is the
kind OF a permit 10 be allowed for
Importation for personal use and the
one most difficult To evade by boot
leggers.
The so-called bone dry" bill pro
hibits the bringing into the state of
any intoxicating liquors by reeogniz-
ed common carriers. express. freight.
etc. but does allow individuals TO
bring in for personal use, not more
than one quart of anything but beer
and twelve quarts OF beer. at one
time. but the frequency OF these inn
portations is not limited. The find
ing OF more than these specified
quantities In the possession OF any
one. is evidence of violating the law.
The other bill provides that no In.
toxicating liquors can be brought In.
TO the state except by common car.
riers recognized as such by the Inter-
State Commerce Commlnsion. Il can
only be ordered or brought In per.
