RETURN OF SALOON
State Shows Deep Interest in
Formulating of Liquor Con-

special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA, Me, November IL
Maine was more excited over the kind
OF liquor control measure which will
be offered its Legislature in the forth
coming special session than 1t was in
the result of the wet and dry vote in
other States on Tuesday.
AT the time those States were passing
on the fate Of the eighteenth amend
ment. a committee of Maine citizens,
named by Gov. Brann, were struggling
in the State house to formulate tenta-
tive draft OF liquor control measure,
the bill under consideration at that
time provided for the sale Of liquor to
be drunk on the premises of dining
cars, steam boats, hotels and restau-
rants. This was In line with Gov.
Brann's announcement that he would
veto any measure which restores the

RENO, New, November 11.-Repeal of
the eighteenth amendment this week
found Nevada way ahead of, the crucial
vote in the States nullifying prohibition.
There was an attempt at celebration
OF the event Tuesday night In the
establishments heretofore known as
bootleg resorts" The term bootleg
has gone out Of style here, however, as
they have been operating virtually
without the padlocked doors and peep
celebrations, but the celebrations seemed
tame. Mainly because pocketbooks
were thin.
Nevada went "wet" some years ago
when it repealed its State prohibition
law. Federal prohibition enforcement
forces were kept busy here, however,
and made occasional raids, SO that Ne
vada did not lose sight of the fact that
the national law was still in effect. In
the last three months, however, there
has not been one enforcement officer In
this State, SO the resort owners prac-
tically admitted any one who had the
price.
The news that the twenty-first
amendment had passed was received BY
many with great deal Of satisfaction
Others wondered what would be the
outcome. Some hoped that 1t would
bring better grade of liquor.
Will License Saloons.
Licensing of saloons in Nevada will
undoubtedly take place before the re-
peal is actually effective through the
action OF State conventions In other
commonwealth.

Repeal Of the national prohibition
amendment left North Dakotans cold.
This State will not be affected by it
since 1t still has statutory prohibition
despite repeal Of the prohibition clause
in the State constitution last Fall.
The only effort to repeal these laws
and make liquor legal proved abortive
when Gov. William LANCER called a spe-
cial election in September, before peti-
tions could be circulated 10 put these
measures on the ballot.
Indications are. however, that meas
ures to ratify the twenty first amend
ment and repeal all but few of the
laws restricting the sale and use OF
liquor win be submitted to the people
by petition at the primary election next
June.
Nevertheless. North Dakotans now
have more freedom with regard TO al
coholic beverages than ever before IN
the history of the State, which adopted
prohibition when 1t became a State In
1889. This is due to enactment OF q
beer law In the special election last
September. It legalizes beer of such
alcoholic content as the Federal Gov

wife of wealthy Denver stock broker,

saloon, preferring instead a middle

The prohibitionists, disheartened, of
course, by the turn of events in one
of their strongholds, have announced
that henceforth their efforts will be
restricted to gospel Of temperance
rather than prohibition.
Mining continued this week to hold
the interest of the State. with one
bonanza strike near Mancos, Colo, in
the San Juan basin, reported as one
of the richest in the history of the
State.
Hundreds Of small nuggets of free
gold and several score of large ones,

OREGON TO HOLD
"REPEAL' SESSION
Original "Bone-Dry" State
Planning Liquor Control
Regulations.
BY RALPH WATSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PORTLAND, Greg, November IL
Oregon's Legislature will meet Monday
November 20. in extraordinary session
at the call of the Governor to solve In
so far as possible two major problems
the enactment of liquor regulation
and control code and the formation OF
emergency revenue legislation to care
for unemployment relief during the
coming Winter and until the close of
1884.
Because Of present economic condi-
tions in the State and peculiar consti-
tutional limitations upon the Legisla-
lures tax levying power, the unemploy-
ment relief legislation will be one
phase of the liquor enactments, so far
as revenues to be derived are con-
cerned.
Oregon was one of the original
"bone-dry" States 1t prohibited the
manufacture or sale of all Intoxicating
liquors by constitutional amendment in
November, 1914, and outlawed the i'm
portation of liquors by a subsequent
amendment in 1916.
At the same period it passed a
statute, absolutely bone-dry, which
made unlawful the use of alcohol for
rubbing purposes, or the prescription
Of liquor by physicians. The voters
recanted in November. 1882, by repeal
ing the statute, and in May of the cur
rent year by repeating the constitu-
tional sections, both propositions having
been laid before the voters by referen-
dunn petitions putting the question on
the ballot at the 1882 regular and the
1888 special elections. In May, 1888,
at the special election, the State voted
by a wide margin to repeal the
eighteenth amendment.
Since 80 beer has been on the mar
ket 1t has been sold throughout the
State, with the exception of one small
town, which is the seat of q Quaker
college. in all restaurants, soda foun-
tains and even along the State high
ways by auto service stations.
When the prohibition amendments
and the bone-dry law went into effect
the State was half dry and half wet.
The old-time saloon was in operation
as the legal method of distribution.
Portland, the metropolis of the State,
had voted its residence districts dry
under the local option law. All of its
saloons were In the downtown dis
trict and along the river front with the
exception Of two or three, one in the
Italian section and another close to the
NORTH Side milling and industrial sec
ton. Many of the small towns and
some of the counties upstate were
closed to liquor sales through local
option elections.
The repeal of the Oregon dry laws
and, finally, of the eighteenth amend
ment, according to the concensus OF
legal opinion, has served to revive the
old laws governing liquor as they stood
at the commencement of the dry era
in 1914.
Consequently. when the twenty-first
amendment becomes effective on De-
cember S, the person desiring to open a
saloon at a crossroads in the coun-
try will be within the law to circulate
a petition, secure not more than 10C
signatures Of registered citizens Of the
district, lay them and the license fee
set up in the old law before the county
court and demand a license to oper
his saloon.

RUM MAY BRING
EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
Wisconsin Lacks Up
tO-Date La,Cs for
Control of Liquor.
BY WILLIAM. 7. EvJUE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MADISON. Wis, November Ii
Repeal Of national prohibition height
ened the demand for calling a special
session of the Wisconsin Legislature,
expected early this month but still
vague as to date, for the enactment of
up-to-date laws controlling and taxing
the sale Of liquor.
Unless quick action is taken liquor
legislation will not be in readiness
until after December in which case
the State will revert back to the laws
IN effect prior to prohibition.
Wisconsin. traditionally a wet State.
which only by narrow margin missed
the distinction of being the first State
to ratify the repeal amendment, greeted
the repeal news soberly, but with sat-
isfaction. There is a general demand
IN the State for regulations to rectify
the evils of the old liquor system and
increasing pressure is being felt by the
State administration to call the prom
1sed special session as soon as possible
to enact protective measures.
Failure Of the State income levy for
relief purposes to produce the neces-
sary revenues has raised the proposal
that liquor be taxed by the State to help
care for poor and INDECENT It Is feared
that the State under present relief tax
measures will be unable to raise suffi-
cient mony to get its full share of
Federal relief, which must be matched
by State funds.
Municipalities have already swung
INTO action regarding local liquor reg
ulations.
Two small communities in Northern
Wisconsin forestalled repeal by voting
their own local dry ordinances. Most
OF the others are ready to pass regu-
lations and have had council and citi-
zens' committees studying liquor sale
problems for weeks. Seriously proposed
by officials in several cities are munich
pal stores with a monopoly privilege 10
sell hard liquor. Mayor James Law of
Madison Is author of such a plan.
Tavern keepers generally throughout
the State are demanding the right to
sell over the bar.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, November IA call for
a special session to decide on a liquor
control plan in Michigan and other
projects Of Importance is expected at
any moment. During the week Gov.
William A. Comstock announced that
unless some means of financing were
found 1t would not be long until nu-
merouS schools would have to close.
This was looked on as the beginning of
a fight to divert the State whisky tax
to school channels.
The State Liquor Control Commission
now is graphing with a proposal for
county option on the selling of whisky
by the glass. The sentiment for sale
by glass comes chiefly from Wayne
County. which embraces Detroit.
An S87, ,000, 900 subway for Detroit, to
be financed by the Federal Government,
received approval of ma jority of vot-
ers at Tuesdays election. A similar
proposal submitted three years ago was
defeated decisively when the plan pro-
posed the city pay for the improve
ment.
Bitter opposition, which charged the
proposal was a pet scheme of downtown
property owners, was the only feature
in drab election here and In a num-
Der of other towns in Michigan. Frank
Couzens was elected mayor by large
majority, thus marking another mile
stone In the reported ambition of his
father, Senator James Couzens, to put
his son in the United States Senate.
No a.-Sempt was made to drag the
national administration into the cleo
tion, as was done in the neighboring
city of Cleveland and in New York in
a vain effort to defeat Republican
Fusion candidates.
The subway plan has number of
hurdles before it becomes reality.
There is strong opposition by pro-
ponents Of other projects for Federal
aid, notably the SOS, 900, 900 sewage dis
posal plant that would serve the Great

SIOUX FALLS, S. Oak, November IL.
Repeal of the national prohioition
amendment had been foreshadowed Tor
SO long that Tuesdays decision caused
practically no excitement in South
Dakota prohibition ranks. 1t was
reiterated that the anti-saloon forces
would see to 1t that nothing stronger
than so beer Is imported into the
State.
They base this stand on the fact that
South Dakota has prohibition amend
ment in It's constitution, which will
prevent the sale Of hard liquor. 1t is
stated that this constitutional amend
mert will be strictly enforced, and that
those who seek to import into South
Dakota any liquor other than 80 beer
will be prosecuted

REPEAL CEREMONY
At CHICAGO FAIR
HELPSATTENDANCE
Brewers Contribute 1000
Barrels OF Beer for Mayors
Celebration.
BY RUTHwELL DUNCAN.


CHICAGO, Nov. i1.-Repeal Of pro-
hibition had its major Illinois celebra-
ton last Wednesday at the Worlds
Fair. Through the persuasive power
Of Mayor Kelly the local breweries were
induced to furnish 1000 barrels of beer
The celebrated packers of this meat
metropolis were coaxed into providing
meat for 10000 sandwiches. Bakers
supplied the bread-white and rye
necessary to inclose the meat. Every
visitor to the fair was given a ticket
emitting him or her to five stems Of
beer with sandwich trimmings.
Twenty beer dispensaries, each
equipped with so barrels Of beer, were
established at convenient points
fort was made to place them in shell
tered positions, since without walls or
roof they were exposed to the sharp
edged breezes that have been prevalent
of late The shelter in many instances
proved insufficient, but shivering pa
irons were not discouraged from
standing in line to get their quota.
Many, no doubt, reckoned that the 80
beverage would afford a counteracting
inner warmth.
Fair Attendance Leaps.
Attendance at the fair, which lately
has languiShed because of the chill
weather, leaped towards 100000 under
the spur Of celebrant enthusiasm and
the lure of free beer It was a bois-
L,,yf Al1a xx,t,0 lo-I i
crowd. There was much impromptu
singing of appropriate songs. Efngies
Of Old Man Prohibition we're paraded
amid derisive shouts.
Visitors from many other States than
Illinois participated in the jubilation.
1t was, in effect, national fete. Dis
approving drys viewed the performance
aloof1y, and made notes that may pres
emily appear In critical comment. In
dividual instances furnished material.
It is suspected that some of the cele-
brants imbibed from private stock more
potent than that provided by the beer
dispensaries.
Originally it was designed to call the
day of wet victory Personal Liberty
day. That was Mayor Kelly's idea of
q fitting name But the w. c. T. U.
protested to the fair management, and
offered as amendment the title of
Personal Responsibility day. Officially
that became the name on the exposi-
ton records, but popularly Mayor
Kelly's name stuck.
Against Return of Saloon.
That official, although sponsoring the
stein fest, has declared himself against
return of the saloon, against the sale
of drinks over the bar, and the location
Of dispensaries, taverns or what not in
any but conspicuous ground floor
quarters. Moreover, he has announced
that. should the State fail to act
promptly for effective regulation of
liquor sale after repeal becomes legally
effective, the city administration, by
ordinance, will set up its own control
system. He regards the danger of chaos
following December as largely imag-
mary, even If the Legislature makes no
provision prior to that time. Local
ordinance and police enforcement can
take care Of the situation, he asserts.
