LEGISLATURE CAN NOT SUBMIT BILL
Legislature Cannot Submit Adoption of Prohibit
ton Repeal Law 20 People of State

The question of repeal of prohibition laws will
be submitted by the legislature the voters of
the state for their rejection approval has been
proposed in bills introduced by the vets in the last
three sessions Of the legislature long the pres
ent constitutional provision governing legislative
powers remains in effect. The supreme court has
closed that door to the advocates of repeal in Illinois
When Governor ErnrnerSon vetoed the prohibition
repeal bill it's advocates Immediately introduced
repeal measure in the same language as the bill We
toed, adding referendum clause providing for it's
submission to the voters of the state in the general
election in November 1882 for rejection approval
blouse bill No. 935, by Mr.. Woodward Chicago.) But
1t soon became apparent that the vets were marking
time awaiting the decision of the supreme court in
the case of People V. Thompson, and when that de-
ciSion was rendered, through their floor leader
Thomas J. O'Grady, Chicago, they announced that
they would abandon the fight far as the present
session of the legislature is concerned.
Quoting the provision of the constitution which
provides that, The legislative authority of this state
shall be vested in general assembly, which shall
consist of senate and house of representatives,
the supreme court, in the above referred to-
brought to test the constitutionaty of the act pro-
viding for woman jurors, declared:
"ThuS all the legislative power inherent in the
people of the state of Illinois has been vested in the
general assembly, except in those in which the
power has by express limitation necessary impli-
cation been withheld. Since it alone has the power
the general assembly has also the duty and upon it
alone rests the full responsibility of legislation This
power it may not delegate to any other officers or

binding and unconstitutional referenda is vindi-
Gated by the supreme courts decision. If, the
preme court says the legislature and the legislature
alone, is charged with all responsibility and discre
ton in the making and unmaking of laws, let
have courage and loyalty enough to insist that
representatives in the legislature shoulder their
sponSibility give way to those who willing to
shoulder it, and not waste the time, money and
ergy of the people in referenda campaigns which
can settle nothing. The supreme court has spoken.
The referendum on prohibition is the vote of legis-
lative candidates. They, and they alone, can cast
legally binding vote on the question. Their decision
and theirs alone determine what the law shall be-

EDUCATION ESSENTIAL, BUT VIGOROUS ENFORCE
MENT CANNOT WAIT

We are not unmindful of the fact that before there
can be an adequate enforcement of prohbitory laws
there must be created public sentiment for such
laws and their enforcement. Education as to the
benefits of prohibition and education to bring about
better observance of the law are necessary. And
such education must go apace with law enforce
ment Yet vigorous law enforcement cannot wait if
prohibition is to be maintained against the terrific
attack that is being made against it today The ma
tional commission on Law Observance and Enforce
ment emphasizes this as follows:
1t has been urged from many sides that tlse
main reliance must be put on process of edu-
eating public opinion toward observance and
enforcement of national prohibition. There
can be no doubt of the Importance of this if
enforcement is to be effective. But mere prop
uganda to that end will accomplish little if
the bad features of the present situation,
which operate to foster adverse public opin-
ion, are not remedied. So long as they con-
tinue unabated they will largely counteract
educational efforts &.

THIS IS THE LIMIT
Wet Resolution in House Proposed Turning I'm
prisoned Bootleggers on Communi-
ties Again

Immediately following the passage of the OGrady-
McDermott repeater by the senate, Representative
Raymond T. OKeefe, 25th district, Chicago wet
leader in the house, introduced a resolution (H J.
r. 80, citing the vote for repeal and requesting the
state parole board to release under parole to
make recommendations for pardons or communication
of sentences in the case of all persons committed
and held at any of the state penal or reforma-
tory institutions for violation of any of the prohbi
tion laws of illinois,"
This and other outrageous wet bills and resolu-
lions demonstrate to what lengths the fanatical wet
gang will go to accomplish its purposes. But the plan
to turn all imprisoned bootleggers loose on our COM

body of the people, or to majority of the voters of
the state voting at general election at special

Locke wrote in 1859: The legislature cannot trans
fer the power of making laws to any other hands,
for 1T being but delegated power from the people,
they who have it cannot pass it over to others.
Legislative action neither must, can transfer
the power of making laws to anybody else or place
it anywhere but where the people have 1.-TWO Trea-
ties of Government, D. 276) This is the general rule
of constitutional law sustained by the weight of jul

some which hold that the legislature may pass
a general act making it's becoming law expressly
dependent upon its approval by majority of voters
a referendum to the people of the whole state. In
this state it is held that to sustain act whose

Ohio said: THAT the general assembly cannot sur

argument and is denied by no one. This inability
arises less from the general principle applicable
to every delegated power requiring knowledge, dis
erection and rectitude in it's exercise than from the
positive provisions of the constitution itself The
people, in whom it resided, have voluntarily relin
pushed it's exercise and have positively ordained
that it shall be vested in the general assembly It
can only be reclaimed by them by amendment or
abolition of the constitution for which they, alone,
are competent. To allow the general assembly to
cast it back upon them would be to subvert the
stitution and change it's distribution of powers with

FAMILY CAR" LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
Refuses to Place Liability for
Accident of Third Person
on Owner.

The District Court Of Appeals, In an
opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel
yesterday refused to extend the pro-
visions Of the family car" doctrine to
fix liability on an owner for injuries in
f1icted when the car was used by a
member Of the family but actually be-
ing driven by third party at the time
of the accident.
The court sustained the verdict of a
jury In the lower court which had found
in favor of Mrs. Agnes Burch, who had
been sued for injuries after Ralph s.
Turof was struck by the car.
Justice Charles H. Robb filed dis
senting opinion, in which he pointed
out that more than 80 900 persons were
killed during the past year and several
hundred thousands injured by auto
mobiles.
that 1t would be harsh rule to hold
the parent under such circumstances is,
in my view, without merit and entirely
overlooks the demands of public policy.
II a parent finds that a member of the
family Is unwilling to obey instructions
to permit no one not a member of the
family to drive the car. the remedy is
simple-withdraw permission to drive
from that member of the family
Innocent third parties should not be
permitted to suffer injuries because of
the willfulness of a member of a family.
1t is all very well to suggest that the
injured party would have recourse
against the person permitted to drive
the car, but it is common knowledge
that in many instances such person is
financially irresponsible"
The majority opinion reviewed a num-
Der of cases on both sides of the ques-
ton.
