When Governor Erickson signed
the proclamations officially announc
ing the victory of the good roads ini
tint ive and the liquor law repeal
measure a few days ago, his
stroke of the pen -wiped off the
statute books, all state liquor laws
with the exception of that dealing
with sale to minors, and the initi
ative became a law. The good roads
measure which provides for a three
cent tax on gasoline to be devoted
to the construction of state high
ways, will become a law January 1,
as was provided in the initiative.
The official figures were certified to
the governor by the canvassing
board after the official count in
the offices of Secretary of State C.
T. Stewart.
Majority Is 10,240.
The official count shows that Mon
tane discarded prohibition laws by a
r-ajority of 10,249 votes. The vote
for the measure was 83,231 with 72,
S82 against.
The good roads measure carried by
a majority of 72,531. The vote was
114,763 for the measure with 42,232

with the entire amoiAt collected to
be used for highway construction and
the matching of federal aid.
The governor's proclamation mak
ing the liquor law repeal effective,
is in keeping with the constitutional
provision.
