Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 May 1907 — Prohibition War in Kansas. [ARTICLE]

Prohibition War in Kansas.

The Kansas Supreme Court has appointed receivers for the property of all the breweries in the United States doing business in Kansas, holding that the State has a right to confiscate all property of any illegal business. Most of tbe brewers appear to be making little resistance, but all are giving support to the Annheuser-Busch company of St. Louis, which is disposed to fight the order. The receivership rule is based upon the prohibition law which went into effect in 1881.
