ANOTER PHASE OF THE QUESTION

In conversation with Representative Lewis the first of the
week. the writer CLEANED ideas of the difficulties that
confront the legislature in passing law in conformity with the
will of the people of the state the liquor question expressed
at the election last November
Mr. Lewis is chairman of the important liquor committee In
passing also it said that he personally favor of Bone
Dry law There features of the proposed legislation how
that the reader does understand For instance
the opinion of the best constitutional lawyers that the
atue would have right incorporate into provision
that expressly stated the amendment presented
the people last Fall The amendment passed. briefly stated
prohibits the manufacture and sale of al liquors for beverage
within the state Now the great question with Mr. Lewis and
also with others of the legislature interested this problem
the legislature further than the the
amendment and prohibit the importation of liquors from wet
state Learned attorneys state that such law would be
stuona and would be speedily declared null and void by the
Supreme court.
In discussing provisions of the "Webb-Kenyon law Mr.
Lewis said There question but what this law recently
interpreted by the Federal the legislature the
to law prohibiting the importation liquor
state but in the opinion of this would have to be
aate These provisions could not be incorporated the law
passed to out the provisions of the Dry amendment
So is that Mr. Lewis and the liquor committee having
their troubles They beseged by petitions from all the
state praying for Bone Dry state The of the state
almost without exception favor such law Grant Hudson for
many leader of the ansaoon league of the
in favor of such law 1t is probable although Mr. Lewis did
not that it is matter of political expedency with Mr.
Hudson There probably sections of the state where Mr.
Hudson and his campagnes last fall expressly
for the amendment vote against the open saloon and
vote against the importation of beer other liquors
consumption Mr. Hudson undoubtedly looks the situation
from political standpoint and fearful of the consequences
The True NOrtheer however, changing
its attitude expressed in these columns previous We
believe that Mr. Hudson and others who advocate Fifty
Fifty law Bone Dry in theory but Moist" in
taken regard to the sentiment of believe that
great majority of those who voted for the amendment fall did
with the understanding that they voting
Dry We believe that the legislature should make the
broad enough prohibit the importation of all liquors
territory If they cannot do it with law then pass many
as may be necessary to bring about such result The future
will take of itself.
