INC Liquor Question in Ohio.

The final action Of the Ohio Constitu.
tlonal Convention submits the two fol.
lowing alternatives in regard to tho liquor
question in that State:
At the time when the votes Of the cleo.
tors shRll be taken for the adoption or 70.
lection Of this Constitution, there shall be
separately submitted to the electors, for
adoption or rejection, In the manner
herein provided the therein" refers to q
schedule In which section will be incor.
porated, providing for tho manner in
which all separate propositions shall be
submitted for ratification two alternate
sections, as follows: al
sRcTIoN =. License 10 traffic in spirit.
rlous, vlnous, or malt liquors, under such
regulations and limitations as ahall be pre-.
scfibed by law, may be granted, but this
section shall mot prevent the General As.
sembly from passing laws to restrict such
traffic, and to compensate the injuries re.
sulting therefrom. a5
sRo.-. No license to traffic In intoxi.
eating liquors shall hereafter be granted
In this State; but The General Assembly
may. by law, restrain or prohibit such
traffic, or may provide against evils re.
Sulting therelrom. n
Il will thus be seen that, whatever the
result Of the popular vote on the other
work Of the Convention, the provisions
Of the Constitution in regard to the liquor
traffic will inevitably be changed. II
there shall be q mSjorlty in Isyor Of
License" then the first section above
gwen will become part Of tho oonstitu-
ton, and If there Is a majority against
License then the other section will be
!, adopted instead. In either event Of
course, the present constitutional proyis-
ion on the subject disappears. n I.
SHOULD the "License" section prevail,
then the whole matter e LETT to the Legis.
lAture, whichmsy either enact q License
law, or prohibit the traffic altogether, or
take such other intermediate coutse ss .
majority oil the peoples representatives
may determine. a., sa,.g. IA
Should the mo License" section be
adopted, then any License system Is alb
SOlutely prohibited, and. the Legislature
may pass law entirely psohibitoty Of
the traffic, Or otherwise provide against
tho evils resulting theretrom, as underthes
present constitutional provision. q :

submitting the question is unsatisfactory
to the advocates Of o license system. The
arSt section, however, will receive their
support, while 10 adoption will not be
particularly repugnans to the feelings b
