Speeehes in behalf of tile measure were made by bolh Gore and Thomas. The entire morning session was ilaken n in discussinj; the I no bills ri-liiting to cigarettes. At first it ap peared that Sweeney's bill had been sidetracked, us n motion to discuss the Stott hill, prohibiting youths from smoking cigarettes, prevailed, and al ter some discussion on the Stott bill it passed by a vote of '.15 to 2.1. A motion was made to table the Swee ney bill, but the motion was ruled out of order and the bill then came up lor discussion. Charucs and counter-diaries i !. burled from all sides, personalities were indulged in. and for a time it looked like the discussion would de velop into a ''free-for-all." Discussion Is Hot. Stott opened the discussion lor bis bill, which also bore the names of Staiil'ield and Kubli. lie said he bad received many complaints rci;ardin;4 the use of cigarettes by minors. He bail thcrcl'i rc dialted the bill and ii hud been linen the unanimous sup port of the committee on health and public morals. The bill provided that no ei;:nrctlcs could lawfully be sold to any person under 'Jl years old, mid carried a line of from .."0 to .f'J.'it). It also makes it a misdemeanor tor am' minor to smoke cigarettes. It was a j air. .pisi, tiioue,li severe measure, Stott continued, and would meet all the objection of the friends of Dr. Sweeney's bill. Forbes said so far as be could re member be bad never boudit a pack age of cii;.'i relies, but he did like a ciirar once in a while, and personally he did nut like to have anvoue tell him he could not smoke when ht wanted to. Sweeney 1SHI Considered. The Sweeney bill, Forbes contend ed, was absolutely unconstitutional. by virtue of Cnilcd States supreme court decisions. II was not until the ' passage of tin- Webb-Ken von act that the importation of liquor could be presented from one stale to another. This act did not touch tobacco and the Sweeney bill would be void. Forbes arirucd. and be emoted various decisions of the bi'h court, liolriiup that legislation of a similar import .wus void. Jones of Lane said he had lived in Washington when the anti-oinaretU law was in effect there, and they pot ail ihe cigarettes they wanted. II lliouiilit it was unjust, however, to take their pipes and cigars nwav. Lewis said he was in favor of the Stott bill. The use of cigarettes vouns boys was more detrimental to them than the use of intoxicants, he contended. The Sweeney bill provided (he pros ecuting attorney could file com pinuus ami j;o to Lnal on tliem, m violation of the constitution.
