The Iicense law

We this wsek publish the new license law,
which iu some of its features is equally as obnox-
ious as the "jug law" recently repealed. esSena
tor Walton of Monroe county has already intro
duced bill for the repeal of the 9th section Of
the bill. for which he deserves great credit. In
the thinly settled parts of the state this section
will be found to produce much inconvenience, and
the adoption Of the arbitrary rule of limiting the
number of hotels according to the number of tax
ables. without regard to the accommodation of
strangers and travellers, might be necessary
for the public, is calculated to create much feel
ing It must eventually be repealed even if Mr.
Walton should be unsuccessful now. In aludng
to the 9th section the Pennsylvania remarks
'The 9th section stands out in bold relief as
Prohibitory clause and is open to all the objec-
tions due to such a rule of action. Beyond the
number of licenses allowed by that section, the
measure is much prohibitory one as the law
which has been condemned by the people and re-
pealed by the Legislature The law itself is ba
sed upon the principle that the business of inn
keeping is lawful calling: and nevertheless
restriction is thrust upon the trade, which, if at
tempted in regard to any other branch of busi-
ness would be denounced as lntorrabIe. a law
which would limit the number of dry goods and
grocery stores, or other establishments, would be
considered indefensible The same rule that APP
plies to one lawful calling, should apply to ALL
The fact that custom has sanctioned licenses in
regard to this particular class Of citizens does not
alter the principle; for though licenses are, in
like manner, sanctioned as to omnibuses, hacks.
&C., and as to auctoneers, brokers, pedlars thea
tres. &C., yet no one ever yet advanced the novel
expedient of limiting the number of licenses in
any of these branches of business. 1t has devol-
we'd upon the trainers of the present law to invent
this new process of legislation"
There are other features of the bill equally OBJ
jectionable, and which have already caused peti-
tions to flow into the legislature asking for the
peal of the law. 1t is evident that another egis-
lature will be required to make it acceptable
TO the people, and that it will be sustained for
the present from necessity, as the only bill that
could be obtained.
