Item description from seller

This 10-page pamphlet, issued in 1919, is a compilation of Arizona's State and Federal Prohibition Laws, prepared for use by court officers across the state.

Its stated purpose was to assist in the effective enforcement of prohibition measures, aligning with the national temperance movement and the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment. The document begins with the full text of a constitutional amendment adopted by Arizona voters on November 3, 1914, which was added to the state constitution as Article XXIII. This amendment prohibited the manufacture or introduction of intoxicating liquors into Arizona. It criminalized the sale, barter, exchange, or distribution of ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine or intoxicating liquor of any kind, prescribing penalties of imprisonment (from ten days to two years) and fines ($25 to $300) for violators. However, it specifically exempted denatured alcohol used for non-beverage purposes. A second amendment, adopted on November 7, 1916, and numbered Article XXIV, follows immediately in the pamphlet. This section presumably reinforced or expanded upon the earlier prohibition statutes, possibly tightening enforcement mechanisms or clarifying legal definitions and penalties, though the full text of this second amendment is not visible in the provided image. This publication reflects Arizona s early and robust commitment to prohibition, predating national prohibition by several years.

The pamphlet offers a unique insight into the legal framework of state-level prohibition before the federal Volstead Act took effect in 1920. Rarity OCLC locates 4 copies.…
