Santa Fe.-The first definite step
towards statewide prohibition in New
Mexico was taken by the present Leg
islature when Senator J.. A. Melon
old Of Socorro county, introduced in
the Senate a resolution providing for
an amendment to the constitution de-
claring that after January 1, 1918, the
manufacture and sale of s%pirituous
and malt liquors shall be illegal. The
resolution, which was introduced by
request, was ordered printed and
translated and referred to the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments.
The Mcdonald amendment, while
simple in its terms, contains sweep
ing provisions for making the state
dry. It bars absolutely all forms OF
alcohol except as used for scientific,
medicinal and sacramental purposes,
and imposes heavy penalties for VIC
lation of the law.
