which is substitute introduced By
the house for senate bill 80, win meet

the opinion Of a number OF senators
interviewed today.
Senator r. II. Makekau, who has
established record fer himself in the
scrutiny Of bills, declared today that
as the bill stands the senators would

ing It.
Makelsau's objection is to the sec
ton which states that the governor
shall call a special session Of the legis-
lature 10 enact prohibition, provided
q pleb4seite for IL passes the people o.
the territory.
Though ! am in favor Of pie

the conclusion that prohibition for the

Robinson uses as an argument the
fact that congress some years ago
called for a plebiscite to prove that
sEch things are federal. He says that
