 And almost nothing was ac- complished, though some matters of importance were begun. A bill was introduced into the house by Mrs. Marsh of Santa Cruz creating more teeth for the prohibition law. It pro- vides for the confiscation by the state of automobiles or other vehicles in which intoxicating liquors are trans ported into or within the state within 200 miles of an army or naval es- tablishment. Thirty days after the conviction of the person so employ ing the vehicle it shall be sold at auction and the proceeds converted into the state treasury. The act is declared to be supplementary to exist ing legislation and the penalty proe vided is cumulative.
