It  was  decided  to  continue  The  Missouri  Druggist  as  a 
quarterly.

Tuesday  in  June. 
Pre-requisite  legislation  was  again  endorsed  and  the  committee 
instructed  to  ask  for  such  a  law.  Forty-two  new  members  were 
elected.  County  organization  is  under  way  in  Missouri  and  will  be 
further  pushed,  this  year.  Don  S.  Freiday,  president  of  the  Okla- 
homa Ph.  A.,  explained  the  progress  of  county  organizations  in 
his  state. 
The  following  resolution,  introduced  by  Fred  H.  Swift  and  L. 
A.  Seitz,  was  adopted. 
"Believing  that  the  Government  committed  a  tactical  error  in 
'wishing'  the  liquor  business  upon  the  retail  druggist,  we,  therefore, 
do  resolve,  in  the  interest  of  law-enforcement  and  that  the  high 
standard  of  pharmacy  may  be  preserved  untarnished,  to  politely 
but  very  firmly  decline  the  'honor,'  standing  pat  on  the  proposition 
that  liquor  should  be  distributed  through  the  dispensaries  owned, 
operated  and  controlled  by  the  government."
