' ' NO LAW TO PUNISH. Those who Give Liquor to Minors " What fbin. Writer Say ftfjiiv: ; In the (base of the City of Corval lis vs Mary Smith for" giving to a minor malt liquor in violation of a' City ofdihahceudge '"Benson su$-; tained a demurrer to the complaint, ' holding-that the city did not have the authority to pass ' such an or dinance, that the . crime ; was only cognizable by the general laws of the sta'e. Section 37 of. charter says: "The council has1 power within the city: To license, tax," regulate and restrain bar-keepers, saloonkeepers, dealers in spirituous or malt liquors, bar rooms, drink ing shops, or places where spirit ous or malt liquors ae kept for sale or in any ' manner disposed of and the sale and disposal thereof" "nor shall any provisions of law concernine the sale or disposal of spiritous or malt liquors in Benton county apply to the sale or disposi tion of the same in the City of Cor vallis." This provision of the charter is now held by the judge to only apply to bar-,keepers, etc, and not to any individual person. In short, the City only has power over recognized persons such as saloon and bar-keepers, dealers, etc, and not persons outside of those de signated in the charter. So as the matter stands a private person can not be prosecuted either under tbe state law or the city law. . It is sometimes a great privilege in life where one is amenable to no law. Any individual, so he is not in the privileged class can sell or give away spiritous malt or any other kind of drinks and answer to no law. :-'; V ' ; ':''-' '" The query naturally is, 1' What is the city going to do?" Why in justice should a poor saloon ' keep er be cinched and a private person be excepted from the penalties of the law? . f X. 1 BENTON CATTLE HEAVY PRICES BROUGHT BY MACK PORTER'S POLLED ' ANGUS '" .
