"A passion for legisla ton is not a

EXTRACTS TEETH
FROM CARD LAW
SAYS INDIVIDUALS CAN PLAY
POKER WHEN THERE is NO
TAKE-OFF FROM GAME

1t is the place wherein gambling
take place, and not the gamblers,
that comes within the scope of the
Higgins anti-gambling act, adopted at
the last session of the Legislature, &C.
cording to the Interpretation placed
upon the statute by Luther E, Hall
assistant attorney general.
Assistant Attorney General Halls
opinion on the provisions of the act
was expressed in answer to an inquiry
made by Rene H. Himal, district at
torney for the Twenty-Third Judicial
District, at Franklin.
Governor Halls official opinion, as
expressed to District Attorney Himal
follows:
"You are informed in answer to-
your letter of the 18th inst, that act
1872 of 1920 is directed against the
operation of gambling houses and not
against games of chance and provides
for the abatement of such houses at
the suit of any taxpayer.
Any Kind of Game
"a gambling mousse is defined by
section l of the act to be any place
whatever where any game of chance
of any kind or character is played
for money or wages, or for tokens and
where the conduct of such places OPP
crates directly or indirectly to the
profit of one or more individuals and
not exclusively to the direct profit of
the actual profits in such game.
ALSO any place whatever where
races, athletic contests and sports and
games are not actually, held but
where opportunity is afforded for
wagering upon races athletic contests
sports and games of chance.
1.-THE specific questions asked by
you are answered as follows:
Does the law prohibit the playing
of pool for money or other thing Of
value?"
ut does not. 1t prohibits the opera
ton of place where such games are
played, and where the games result
directly or indirectly to the profit Of
one or more individuals and not ex-
clusively to the direct profit of the
actual participants in such games.
"Dods the law prohibit the playing
Of cards for money or other things
of value in clubs whether chartered
or not and in lodge rooms or frater-
nal societies or orders?
Can play Cards

ing of cards for money or other
thing of value but it prohibits the
operation of any place where such
games do not result exclusively to the
direct profit of the actual participants
in such games.
