SAME PROCESS
AS LAST YEAR
Attorney* for Liquor Dealer* Argue
That Statute Doe* Not Pro
vide for Election.
(Juneau Dispatch.)
Judge Robert W. Jennings notified
the retail liquor dealers of Juneau and
Douglas recently that he would follow
the same plan for determining the
local option situation affecting issuing
of retail liquor licenses in effect a
year ago. Under this ruling of the
court a census to determine the popu
lation within two miles of any com
munity whore a license is to be grant
ed must be taken, followed by an
“election” at which a majority of
those on the census must vote wet In
order that the court can issue a
license. However, as in effect last
year, any resident not on the census
list can swear in their vote at the
near-election. The election is under
the direction of the United States
commissioner. All expenses of the
census and election is to be borne by
the license applicants. The election
is to be held in Juneau on June t.
Represent Dealers
William Holiheimer, representing
the retail liquor dealers, pleaded with
the court in behalf of the applicants.
He told the court an unnecessary bur
den of expense was being added to the
applicants, pointing out the referen
dum election ordered for November.
George Irving, representing the
dealers association, quoted an ex
haustive brief to the court touching
on the legal status of the case at the
bar. Arguing, he said:
Quotes the Statutes
‘*It is manifest from the reading of
the law, that it was the intent of Con
gress, that the intent of the citizens of
the community, not only to say
whether liquor should be sold at all.
but also to say who should have the
right to sell it; a majority of the
people of the community within two
miles of where the liquor was to be
; sold might be perfectly willing that
John Doe might sell liquor, and be un
willing to grant the privilege to John
Smith.
“The provision of the law that no
further consent will be required for
the period of 12 months after consent
has been obtained, is simply to prev
ent the necessity of a person holding
such license from being harrassed in
the enjoyment of same for the period
of one year.
“There is absolutely nothing in the
law* which intimates that it was the
intention of Congress that an election
' might be held for the purpose of as-1
certaining that the consent of a
majority of the citizens, and that such
consent when so obtained should be
binding upon the community for the
period of one year. There are no
rules or regulations in the statute for
the holding of such elections; and had
Congress intended that the consent of
the community wa, to be expressed in
such a manner it would have surely’
provided the ways and means for the
holding of such election at the time
of the passage of the act; on the other
hand Congress has provided and it is
so written in the act the mode to be
adopted—via: by petition.”
