REFERENDUM Is
NOW SUGGESTED

While the Oahu senators and repre-
sentatives in their meeting Monday
evening took no definite action rela-
tive to anti-saloon legislation at the
coming session OF the legislature
there was some discussion of the mat.
ter and II was then passed over for
the reason that 1t is legislation affect
ing all parts of the territory and not
merely Oahu and that the meeting
was called to consider legislation that
would apply to this county alone.
II becomes more and more evident
that despite party platforms liquor
legislation will be considered at the
coming session. Democratic party
leaders when seen on the subject
have said that there viii be no such
legislation by that party as it will
stand by its platform declarations on
the subject, but despite this there
appears q probability that some of
the legislative members will have
opinions of their own.
A proposal heard today is for
referendum to the voters Of liquor
legislation, to thus take something Of
the form of local option. Manuel G.
Pacheco said thsA he believed some
such plan would be the probable out,
come OF proposed legislation.

THE wEBBKENYoN LAW UPHELD.

- King Booze's army lost another citadel Yesterday
when the WebbKenyoR law was held constitutional
by the supreme court OF the United States
The liquor interests have fought the law long and
hard and they have lost. Furthermore, several al
lied pieces OF legislaton-all directed toward keep
ing liquor ont of "dry territorywill probably also
be adjudged constitutional, the Webb'Kenyon act
having been upheld. .~.# ~
At least three state cases haye,be pending be-
fore the supreme court, all more or less connected
with the Webb Kenyon fight. Two West Virginia
and one North Carolina case awaited decision with
the federal case West Virginia has a law which
makes il illegal for any person in that state "to re-
ceive, directly or indirectly, intoxicating liquors
from, common or other carrier The law does,
however, permit small amount Of liquor for per
sonai use, 10 be brought in by the user.
These three cases depended largely on the decision
OF the Webb Kenyon law. The Webb KENYON act
9wss passed to make effective state prohibition mea
sures BY preventing liquor shipments from wet"
states 1t went into effect in March, 1913, having
been passed over President Taft's veto some months
previously. 1t provides, in brief that shipment of
intoxicating liquors from one state to another
(which intoxicating liquor il intended for any per
son interested therein TO be received possessed sold
0rsiH any smanner usedin violation Of any law of
such state--is hereby prohibited"
Counsel for the liquor interests has contended
that the statute il void if it delegates to states the
federal right to regulate interstate commerce. Pres
ident Taft and Attorney General Wickersham held
the act and therefore Taft vetoed
it Before its passage it had been attacked but Com
gress was determined to put It through, and its ap
prevail now by the supreme court therefore comes
all the greater triumph for the essential integrity
Of moral legislation.
The law was before the supreme eourtonce before,
in Kentucky liquor case, but its validity was not
in question: the Kentucky case involving another
point. In many inferior federal and state courts
where the statute has been considered judges have
upheld it, but the supreme court stamp of approval
il none the less q victory for prohibition whose
effect Il j. dificuit to cxAggerate.
