The Prohibition- Ints claim that the amendment utterly probibits the manufacture and slo of any intoxicating liquors, and would, therefore, abollah alcohol- works throughout tho State. The opponents of the amendmént tako tho samo view, and baso thelr opposiuon on the very ground that It does. abolish manufactorios, These two elements are rivo at their conclustons from A CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION OF THE AMEND- MENT, 1 which reads as followa: 5 “Ng person shall inanufacture for sale: or sell, or keep for sato ns beverage, nus Intoxt- eutiay liquors whatever, inoluding ale, wine, and er,” : It will bo seon that the semicolon after tho word sale would permit this construction. If this punctuation Is correct, then the prohibition 1s ubsulute, Thore 1s another clnas who do not necept this construction, end this class is thoso who are in favor of tha prohibition of dram-shops, but who do not think it wiso to stop tho manufact- ure for mechanical and medicinal purposes. ‘Tuvy read tho amendment thua: “No person shall manufacture for salo or ecll or kcep forsale ae a beverage any intoxicating liquors," ate, Jt awill be seen that by this rendering the saic asa beverage fs the qualifying clauao in the amendment, Omit thidand the ‘amendment ts absolutely probibitory. THE INTENTION OF THE LEGISLATURE §s the rule for construing n statute In this State. ‘The first reading above te in accordance with the action of thu Lower Mouse uf the Legisla- ture, ‘Cho whole opposition to it in that body was because it was absolutely probibitory. There was no quullfytng clause fn {t; und In that shape: it went to tho Scnute, and thore the opposition ayrain arose to the prohibjtion of manufucture; and, after nearly two weeks’ discussion, the ndopuon of several substitutcsand amendments, an entiroly different amendment from that which cumu from the House wns ndopted, ‘The words “ns a beverage" were inserted on motion of Seuator Hemenway, of [Blackhawk County, for the express purpose of go qualifying the amendment that it should not apply to the manufacture of ulcohol tor mechunieal pure poses, or alu and beer to bo sold out of the State. ‘This was tho positive and clear understanding ot Mr. Hemenway's nmendment by tho whol Senate.
