weeks the two main mail groups of new laws are concerned ed with aith the two main purposes of the special bession which were ere to deal with the liquor problem and to coordinate the state laws with the national industrial recovery act the liquor program contrary tol to advance expectations w waa hand handled ledl rather smoothly and without bucit I 1 delay onoe once Gover governor governoor henry ili H blood had definitely placed that log leg isla tive business the sei fion it involved the passage of a pru pro tol dosed amendment to to be submitted to vic the people next november which will permit the electors of the state tj ti decide whether they wish to retain in the constitution section 3 article 22 adopted by popular vote in november I 1 or to wipe that fecto sect on out out ot of the constitution it Is probably the dry est provision ever wilten a into a I 1 state constitution before the people might vote voie 01 JE it next november however it ft was waa found necessary to pass three new laws affecting the election machine ry of the state one made it possible to hold a general election in an odd numbered year instead of only I 1 in even numbered years as the laws read
