BONE-DRY PROHIBITION
MEASURE IS PASSED
FOURTEEN VOTES is STRENGTH
OF OPPOSITION LIST OF
LAWS NOW SIGNED
The bone-dry prohibition bill,

1uC UonC-uLy PIoAAOAeAOh UA1i;
framed by officers of the anti
saloCmI leaere, has become a
law. 1t was passed by the house
last week Wednesday with only
ten dissenting votes, and by the
senate Tuesday, with but four
votes against it. If the test
proves as ironclad as the fram-
els and supporters believe it
will the cid cry that prohibition
does mot prohibit will MT have
chance to survive.
Many other measures, covering
matters for which the people
voted Last fall, are under C misi-
delation. The rural credits law,
with a proposed appropriation cit
5000, 900, and the irrigation code
are sa3ime of these measures.

tuae and morning, afternoon and
