Beer B ill Passed By The Ohio legislature by almost, a unanimous vote has passed the beer bill providing for 3.2 beer in accordance with federal laws. The law now awaits Governor White’s signature, which is to be affixed to­ day from reports out of Columbus. The law goes into affect April 7, the day the federal laws is operative, The legislature wrangled over the hill for many days. In fact the bill was written and rewritten seven times. I t carried a tax provision and thus could be passed as an emergency law with no chance of a referendum being asked. The dry leaders seeing there was little op­ portunity to check the passage of the law offered only feeble opposition on the floor or in committee hearings. ^ _ , The vote in the Senate# which first passed the bill was 25 to 5 and in the House 95 to 34 on the bill proper. On the emergency clause the vote in the House was 100 to 29, much more than even the Vets had expected* « The legislation provides for the appointment of a commission by Governor White to issue the various licenses and have control of the enforcement of the law which legalizes 3.2 beer as non intoxicating. The commission will consist of four Democrats and three Republicans. Political leaders of both parties backed tf i legislation, all votes taken in each house being on non-partisan lines, The commission holds powers to make regulations and to license brewers, distributors and retailers in four classifications. Brewers are to pay $1,000 annually plus five cents a barrel for all production in excess of 5,000 barrels. The barrel tax is to go into the state general revenue fund for school purposes. Distributor's license costs $1,000 annually, plus five cents a bar­ rel on all in excess of 5,000 barrels. Operators of retail stores must pay a license fee of $50 a year; may sell beer only in bottles and for consumption off the premises* and only in lots of six bottles or more. Hotel restaurant, club or amusement park operators must pay a license i t $100 annually; may serve beer in bottles and xlaftMft at tables only, for consumption on the premises. Prohibits sale of beer or wine to persons Id s than 16 years old. . Requires all branches of breweries engaged in distribution to ob­ tain distributor's licenses. Imposes a tax of $1.00 a barrel on all beer manufactured or sold in Ohio. Apportions the barrel tax to tho State general revenue fund and the license fees to the political subdivisions. Provides for local option in municipalities, townships or a section of either by obtaining the signatures of 35 per cent of the electors casting votes for governor a t the preceding State election. ' The House witnessed the greatest contest over the bill and for a r im /i t was feared not enough votes could bo mustered to write in the W. B. McChesney, t o n , Court, voted against the bill. . , . . - Orchestra Entertains The high school orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Foster delightfully entertained the student body, Monday morning, during the regular chapel period. .For devotions, Mrs. Foster led the assembly in repeating the Twenty-third Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer.
