Nevada Now Has
Prohibition Law

When 1t was discovered few dave
ago that there was a very likelihood
that the initiative prohibition law
stood good chance OF being declar-
ed unconstitutional through the LACY
OF record on the journals. and thai
the state supreme court had previous
y rendered decision on this point,
tnere was hurry up to get q bill
through to cover the ground.
Had there not been new prohibit
tion Dill passed and the old law
knocked out there would be a wide
open state until such time as the fed
eral law went into effect Even this
law Is not yet matter Of working
fact.
new bill was drawn and offered
by Assemblyman Chandler. This
bill provides for more liberal fea-
lures such as the sale and manufac-
ture of near beer, the sale OF liquors
Tor medical purposes and extracts
for the housewife. The bill is In line
with what the people want.
|, The bill went through the Assemb-
ly, was hurried into the Senate de-
clared an emergency measure and
sent to the committee OF the
whole. There an attempt was made
to amend with the hosting of the
per centage Of alcoholic beverages
but this failed and no amendments
were attached With favorable re-
port from the committee the bill has
passed and is In the Governors hands
today.
Should the supreme court declare
the old law ineffective and uncon-
stitutional the new bill takes its place
leaving Nevada on the dry side of
the stream.
Then the amendments to the pre-
sent act will have to be considered
This amendment to the initiative law
provides for the nse OF near beer, ex-
tracts and some Otner trimmings.
There Is the contention that it is pos
stble to amend the law provii ling that
the amendments do not DESTROY the
intent OF the lawvbr Interfere with
its enforcement and those back of tho
amendment are Of the opinion that
the present amendments as passed
will In no way invalidate the law,
1t Is conceded that the people have
voted the saloon out OF business and
II was the original intention of the
law. II the legislature has straight-
ened out the objections to the I'LL

thing has been accomplished, ,as IL
Is confessed that the bfl in Its pre-
sent form is too drastic and not tho
