forbids. Our statute simply falls to
punish some conduct which the Vol-
stcnd Act denounces."
o the contention that the Connec-
ticut statutes concerning the trarflc in
intoxicnnts. were enacted prior to the
adoption at the amendment, the some
polnt having been considered in the
Massachusetts case, the Court said:
”This does not prmcnt it from be-
ing appropriate legislation to enforce
the amendment The words 'approx
priato legislation' in that amendment
do not of necesslt) require future and
exclude existing legislation. A state
law already enacted is within the par—
11cw of the words 'appro’priatc logis-
latlon‘ as used in the Eighteenth
Amendment."
From the mass of juducial litera-
ture in our Supreme Coon-t reports. I
am convinced that the Connecticut
legislature never intended the indis-
criminate sales of intoxicating liquors.
