Auatln In Juat now a 'Aot bad of
polltlci. Oot. Hobby called the Legle-
latitra in aoeclal eeealon t enact
lawa to protect military cantnn-
maati atalnit the enla of tbe liquor
traffic and attendant debauchery.
In oompllance with the wlahoe of
the war board at Waahlngton he.
aaked for a ten mllea aono law. Even
before Itio eeealon met there began
maneuvora to bring about a itatu-
fow proe wanted a atate wide act '
paaaed flrat. A Bomber of antll were
In favor of tho atatewldo act but
proa like Bledaoe of Lubbock be-
iieved that tho antla conaldored luch
law would not Hand and he urged
proa to Hand aolld for a aone
law. and then play politic.
Before the week waa out It wa
am that tb none law would ba
jadoptad. I th moanUmt guto-!
Iwlde bill waa prepared and Introduc-
ed and will probitily ba piaiod In:
I . Li - I I. ..1.1 ik.4
noma aorl of ahape. It II aaid that Hy motion duly carried ). W. Mai-
Attorney General Ixinney who la a ley and O. P. Wolfe wore Inatructed
candidate for (lovornor wrote the
bill and there li a belief that he put
rcrlnln clauace In It that If parraed
would be objected to by (iov llob-
tiy. It la aaid the bill would pro-
hibit tho mnnufitcturo and aalo of
non-alcnhollc drlnkri nurh aa bovo
and probably other bevirngca. It In
further charged that there are feo-
turoa In It requiring phyAlcttna' pre-
crlptlona and that thoae preirrrlp-
tlona muit bo filed with tho county
clerk and a record fo of 50 centi
piald. Of courao tbli fee would have
to be paid by tho patient. It la elated
that the Mil waa favorably reported
by the eommlttoe but that the mero-
bera of the committee did not study
It. They probably thought ilnco
Looney wrote It It muit be right.
Hut when It went ta the doaki of the
members thoae points were eipoaod
It If not believed It will paai In that
form.
Mr. John i ton of Houston thlnka it
was so drawn that Hobby would not
approve II and that hla refunal to do
so would fit him the riocilon neit
summer Anyhow the people will noi
want a law that will force them to
pay an eitra four bits for a prescrip
tion.
Another matter of Intercut waa the
ratification of tho prohibition wnj
rr.ei. n the federtl eonntlttjil m. An
ffort was made to havo that que.
tlon aubmlttrl to popular rote but
it wont thrnnRh both houttea with
big majorities.
The leglnliiture Invited Bryan and
Sneppari and finally Included Joe
I!nlly to come and spenk on these
thlnga and then ratified before those
oraclea got there.
Last week cloned with Indications
that the tone law would be enaetrd
