Iowa to Make Liquor Under Mutet Law Prohibited
Des Moines April 2 Prohibitionists bitterly opposed a backward step as the Mutet law nears enactment allowing manufacture except that the house amended a senate provision so that the law cannot aid saloonkeeper bill collections. An amendment limiting legalization to manufacturers and wholesalers passed 56 to 40. All senate amendments, except Druet, were adopted 65 to 41. Druet’s amendment lets cities with 3000 to 5000 population secure operation of the Mutet law with 80 percent written consent. The bill returns to the senate to concur with Martin’s saloonkeeper provision, seen as likely to pass.
