That he will not veto the bill seems as sured though there'are people here who proclaim ^hat there is doubt about the matter, that President Coolidge having said it must be the names are being used for it In one quarter it is spoken of as the "Sim mons - Longwdrth Bill," in another as the "Conference Bill," It is. gall and wormwood to the republicans that the new revenue bill is in reality the Simmons - Democratic bill and they are trying by many and various methods ,to get away from the fact that it is a democratic bill which has come from a republican majority in congress. t ? ?

No Right Under Either the l'8th I Amendment or Volstead Act. ""Washington, May 27.?Municipali ties ate free to prohibit .the sale of intoxicating liquors upon physicians prescriptions, the supreme court has ruled. In an opinion by Justice McRey- I vQolds it was stated that "neither the eighteenth amendment nor the Vol stead act grants the right to sell liq uor within a state." . The opinion .was.handed down ii: a fl case brought from California by Mer- I tira W. Hixson, a. Los Angeles drug gist, to test an ordinance of . that city under which druggists arfe pro hibited from furnishing more than a I half pint of intoxicating liquor un- M der physician's prescription. Hixson. contended that the Los An il geles ordinance, was invalid, because I under the eighteenth amendment as I construed by the Volstead lay, drug- I II grists were' authorised to deliver one I ? pint of intoxicating liquor -upon a I physician's prescription. Any , state I law or municipal ordinance which I would restrict this federal right I ? would, Hixson asserted, depriye .him I ? of his constitutional rights under the ?'fourteenth amendment which guaran- ? I tees all citizens equal protection of I the lay and protected them against I being deprived of any of their rights I ? without due process of law.
