HITS OUR DRY Law
Missouri Pacific Railroad Seeks
To Discredit Kansas.
If Case Is Upheld, State Could
Receive Liquor Shipments.

One more look upon wine that is red
and one more swallow of the juice of
John Barleycorn before the national
drouth sets in next July are the visions
that may come before the thirsty of
bone dry Kansas as result of an ac-
ton brought before the United States
supreme court by the Missouri Pacific
railway. company against the state of
Kansas in which the railroad seeks to
have the Webb-Kenyon act and all
other bone dry measures based upon
it declared unconstitutional. Victory
for the railroad in this case. it is
claimed would knock out the Kansas
bone dry law and permit liquors to
again be shipped into the state.
The railroad was convicted in the
state on a number of counts in which
it was alleged to have handled liquor
shipments in the state, and in at
tempting to beat the cases the road
seeks to have the Webb-Kenyon law
declared unconstitutional on the
ground that it was vetoed by the pres
ident and that it was passed over his
veto without a sufficient majority in
the senate.
Cripple Mahin Law Also.
1t is claimed that of the IS member
ship of the senate it would have re-
quired the vote of "a members to pass
the measure over the veto of the pres
| have required two-thirds of all the
members.
| Should the United States supreme
| court sustain the contention of the
railroad, it is asserted that this not
only would knock out the Webb-Ken-
! yon law and the Kansas bone dry law
| but also would render imperative the
Mahin law.
| The question involved is. Does it take
| vote of two-thirds of all of the members
l nf md tn. lno
| over the veto of the president, or does il
| take only two-thirds of the majority o.
| both houses?
! The constitution provides that ma
/ JoFfty shall constitute a quorum to d.
| business. 1t also provides that after thu
| veto of the president, the bill being re
| turned to the house. where it originated
| should be considered by that house, ant
| if after that reconsideration two-third
/ shall fail to pass the bill. it shall be sen
| together with the objections, to the othel
| house by which it shall be likewise re
| considered, and if approved by two-third
| of that house. it shall become law.
| ting amendments, provides that "congres
] whenever two-thrds of both houses shall
deem it necessary, shall propose amend
| ments ito the constitution
| The resolution submitting the prohibi
tory amendment to the various states die
| not receive vote of two-thirds of all o
| the members of both houses, but 1t die
| receive more than two-thirdS OF a quorum
| If the supreme court of the United State
| should hold that the Webb Kenyon Law
| was not properly passed, the recent bone
| dry laws of the several states would fall
and the resolution submitting the proh1b1
