OBJECT OF PROHIBITION ACT IS TO
PREVENT USE OF BEVERAGE
LIQUORS

"The object of the Prohibition act is
not to entirely prohibit the SALE trans
portation and use of intoxicating liquor
at all times, at all places and under all
circumstances. If such had been the
purpose of the act it would have been so
stated in the title. The object of the
statute is 20 prohibit the use of intoXi-
eating liquors as a beverage, to impose
prohibition, and to restrict regulate, and
even prohibit, their use for certain pur-
poses. Therefore any means reasonably
adapted to. the purpose of restricting the
manufacture, sale, ETC., of Intoxicating
liquor may be included in the body of the
act. One of the means of restricting the
manufacture sale and use of intoxicating
4liatot5fsA to prohibit it's use and sale at
Certain times, places and for certain pur-
poses, or to prohibit its sale and use in
certain places, at certain times and UNI
der certain circumstances for all pur-
poses. A prohibition of the use of in
toxicating liquor is necessarily restric-
ton on it's Use. The state has authority,
under its police power, to prohibit the
manufacture and use of Intoxicating liq-
uor for any or all purposes, and it has
the power to authorize municipalities to
pass ordinances prohibiting such use.
This power has existed in municipalities
for many years under clause 46 of Sec
ton or article CT the City and Village
act. Section 38 Of this statute confers
upon municipalities the same power
which prior to that time they had under
paragraph as. The Legislature had the
right to make provision for the limited
manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating
liquor in various sections of the Prohibi-
ton act and at the same time authorize
I0rOhihif
manufacture, sale and use for any and all
purposes within the limits of the munich
pality. Such provisions are within the
general title of the act are means of re-
striction and are within the police power,
and section 38 does not violate section IS
of article of the Constitution. Tt neces-
sarily follows that if section 38 is valid
the ordinance is not void for the reasons
urged"

RIGHT INHERENT IN POLICE POWER
OF STATE

"The question as to the constitutions
atty Of various provisions Of the Prohi-
bition act has been before this court on
several occasions and the act has been
held to be constitutional as against the
grounds urged. The general rule rcquir-
ing the body of the act to be within the
title was considered in those cases, tfaeoll
pie v. DeGeovanni, 326 III. $780, People V.
Jabine, 324 id. 55; Swierczel1 V. Baran,
324 id. $50; People V. Alfano, 322 i'd $780,
State Of Illinois V. Milauskas, 318 i'll.
1852 1T was held in those cases that the
Prohibition act, in the respects COM
planned of, did not violate section 13s of
article of the Constitution by including
in its provisions subjects not expressed in
the title; that the act is regulatory as
well as prohibitive; that the right to en-
act laws prohibiting the manufacture,
sale, transportation and possession of in
toXicating liquor is inherent in the police
power Of a state and is not derived from
the Eighteenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution nor from the state Con-
stitution; that the state has power to
prohibit the traffic in intoxicating liquor
and to adopt any means reasonably
adapted to make prohibition effective,
provided constitutional rights are not vio-
lated; that the constitutional provision
with reference to the title Of an act viii
be construed literally in favor of the
validity of the act, and that in order to
render provision void it must be in
congruous with the title and must have
no proper connection with or relation to
the title. Where the general purpose is
declared in the title the means of &C
complishing that purpose are presumed
to be intended as necessary incidents
thereto, and any means reasonably adapt
ed to the purpose indicated may be in
cluded in the act. If by fair amendment
the provisions in the body have a neces-
sary or proper connection with the title
the act is not open to this constitutional
objection. II the title is general any

number Of provisions may be contained in
the act, no matter how diverse they may
be, SO long as they are not inconsistent
with or foreign to the general subject

therance of such subject"
