LIQUOR CASE WILL GO
TO HIOH COURT
GREELEY, Colo.. (AP)—Laws
recently enacted by the Colorado
legislature and the United States
Congress to permit the manufac
ture and sale of beer and wine of
an alcoholic content of 3.2 per
cent are unconstitutional. Judge
Claude C. Coffin of the state dis
trict couilt at “Greeley decided to
day. He held that the laws are
valid because they “seek to thwart
amendments to the Colorado anil
United States constitnltJons.”
Prom the decision an appeal is
likely to be taken to the Colorado
supreme court. From that trib
unal no matter what Its decision
may be the question is expected
to be carried to the United States
supreme court.
The case in the district court
arose when Ithe Greeley city coun
cil refused to Issue ibder and wine
permits to the Elks Club and. to
Fred N. Fetch. a cafe owner.
They went Iftto court to compel
the authorities to issue the per
mits. V
The liquor permit and <the dec
ision of Judge Coffin in Greeley are
regarded' in Washington as the
course which prohibitionists have
. taken to bring the' question of
Ihe legality of the 3.2 per cent
beer and wine laws before the
United States supreme court.
