WHEELER ATTORNEY AND GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE ANTI-SALOON • BRARY AD THE AMERICAN ISSUE PUBLISHING COMPANY WESTERVILLE, OHIO FOREWORD HIS brief summary of the most important laws relating to the liquor traffic in the States and United States is compiled in response to a demand from many sources to have up-to-date information concerning these laws without the complete text of the statutes, which would make many large volumes and thus make it impracticable for distribution. A copy of the constitutional provisions prohibiting the liquor traffic are also included with an outline of the program for law enforcement put in operation in the various states by the AntiSaloon League with such modifications as local conditions require. A full text of special statutes will be furnished on application. (RECAP) H15078 7048.
