The Fourth Estate/1917/July 7/Liquor Ad Law Territory

LIQUOR AD LAW TERRITORY.

On and after the dates named below the Federal Liquor Advertising Act applies to:

Alaska—Entire territory, January 1, 1918.

Indiana—Entire state, April 3, 1918. The attorney general of Indiana advises that the section of the law forbidding liquor advertising in the state is not effective until immediately after April 3, 1918, but it is contended by others that this section of the law is already in effect. There have been no decisions by the courts upon these conflicting views, and until some authoritative decision of the courts is available the opinion of the legal officer of the state will he accepted.

Michigan—Entire state, April 30, 1918.

Montana—Entire state, December 31, 1918.

Utah—Entire state. August 1, 1917.

As The Fourth Estate told last week, these states were wholly effected, commencing July 1:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia.

The Post Office Department will furnish further information as to the states partially affected.
