One of the provisions of the Proctor "regulation” law makes an attack on saloon law violators an absolute impossiblity. If there are evidences of law violations and some person who believes in their correction swears out a warrant for the arrest of the offender, he must put up a bond for thp costs of the trial In case the man is not convicted. The saloonkeeper with this protection can employ the most able and unscrupulous lawyers and if he wins, as he probably will and usually does, the man who made the charge is liable for not only the costs of the trial but for the expense of the saloonkeeper’s lawyers also. Thlß is the Proctor “protective”, law against which Senator Hatteck voted. It is a sample of the democratic saloon laws of the last general assembly.
