are successful, distilled spirits viii be
prohibited and beer and vine permitted,
SO far as the Province is concerned. This
faction, however, viii be futile unless the
Dominion parliament changes its law al
lowing provinces to permit that which
1.-The Dominion prohibits.
/ Every effective prohibition law defines
the term Intoxicating hluor The full
committee OF the house Judiciary and the
subcommittee Of the senate Judiciary,
| defined the term to include all liquors
containing one.half Of one per cent aleo
h5l. About II states have defined the
term to include all alcoholic liquors used
| for beverage purposes About an equa
/ number of states have adopted the stan
| dard of one-half Of one per cent alcoho
/ to make liquors intoxicant. The fedora
government first fixed the standard al
1 one-half of one per cent in the tteasun,
z decisions, which determined the liability
for payment of the revenue tax as retail
i liquor dealers. In the revenue bills o
i 1917 and 1919 congress fixed this STANDARD

: L is the alcohol that intoxicates, and th
drinker only has to consume a little NOR
liquid to get the results Secondly, froI
e the legal standpoint. the campaign fe
