by the opinion of the attorney gen
eral rendered May 5, 1916, and re-
ported in the attorney generals re-
port of 1916 wherein the attorney
general holds that the purpose OF
the act is to exempt from licensed
chauffeurs casually in this state,
but it does apply to Nonresident
chuaffeurs that regularly operate
cars in Illinois. In this conclusion
Attorney General Brundage agrees
and holds that this act has refer
ence to chauffeurs sojourning in

ney, the following opinion:
Answering your inquiry con-
corning the scope of the law of
June %, 1915, of this state, affect
ing the licensing of chauffeurs, l re-
ply as follows:
IF an individual drives his own
machine selling for Davenport
firm, l do not think he would be
obliged to take out chauffeur's
license.
IF person living in Iowa, hav-
ing his machine driven by his
chauffeur, comes to Rock Island for
the purpose of buying merchandise
and then returning into Iowa, I do
not think he will be required to
have license.
Il am of the opinion that the mo,
tor law does not apply to chauf-
feurs residing in other states who

PREVENTS SALE
OF NEAR-BEERS
IN DRY CITIES
State Laws Clearly Point That No
Alcohol Shall be In Any
Soft Drinks.
SOLD At DEALERS OWN PERIL
states Attorney Floyd f. ThOmp-
son Makes SAL ament Regard
ing Situation Here.

Soft drink parlor proprietors who
sell near beer" containing any
amount of alcohol do so at their
own peril.
II is clearly stated in the state
laws regarding the sale Of drinks
in anti saloon territory that alco-
hol is not allowed in any liquid
that is sold under the preJenses OF
a soft" drink.
The state law in no section de-
fines what amount OF alcohol shall
he permissible The sO-Called near
beer drink in many cases contains
alcohol. The sale Of this in anti
saloon territory, according to the
law. is a direct violation.
States Attorney Floyd E Thomp-
son said the following today in re-
gard to the matter:
The so-called local option law
prohibits the sale Of intoxicating
liquor in any quantity whatever
within the limits Of any city or
town in this state while the same is
anti-saloon territory 1t also pro-
hibits the granting of any license
to sell intoxicating liquor in any
quantity WHdLeFtI III Sutu tti A4tOA =
and any such license is void.
No Fixed Amount.
Intoxicating liquor includes all
distilled, spirituous, vinous, fer
mented and malt liquors. There Is
nc statement anywhere in the law
OF this state that fixes the amount
of alcohol liquor may contain be
fore it is declared to be intoxicating
liquor. 1t is a violation of the law
to sell in anti-saloon territory any
fermented malt liquor without re-
gard to the amount of alcohol it
contains.
Anyone selling these so-called
near beers in anti-saloon territory
is doing so at his own peril"
It was geneally believed by
many in Rock Island that the sale
of near beer containing not to ex-
coed 2 per cent of alcohol was per-
missible. The state law clearly
shows that no alcohol of any amount
shall be contained IN drinks sold as
notwithstanding liquor.
