The state faces the situation OF hav.
ing a dry constitution but no statues
to enforce It. The General Assembly
enacted enforcement measures but
they must run the gauntlet Of a refer.
endum next November before they can
become operative and should the vot-
ers disapprove of them there will be
no particular authority by which to
enforce prohibition, 1t is said. Anti
Saloon league officials say they have
not given up hope Of obtaining some
legislation that will be effective on
May 27.
Most of the saloonkeepers are plan
ming to quit business May q and they
may have to retire even before that
date. The license year Of saloon
keepers expires May "a. None has
applied for renewal of license and the
time for making application has now
passed.

the partnership blanks for the return
of income taxes have at last been re-
ceived at the Office of ]. M. Cath

of internal revenue warns those whc
come under the head Of partnerships
or of personal service corporations tc
