Senator Peck, in explanation of his vote
said: L am not opposed to this bill be-
cause l am opposed to fair license, but
because it is a bad law, and by its very
terms wipes out of existence all of the
safeguards thrown around the public by
the present law. By its very terms
1t repeats all of the safe
guards contained in the law
of 1873, and gives nothing in return in its
general application. By Its terms it does
not repeal section l of chapter 16, of laws
all the rest of that chapter.
1t repeats the law requiring all saloons
to be closed after IL o'clock at night.
1t repeats the law requiring officials to
prosecute.
IL POdAS al VI Sutpl0 10 except sec
ton l, and saving that it is impossible to
tell upon what conditions licenses are to
be granted.
No one can maintain an action for dam
ages under this law either against the
principal defendant or his bondsmen. for
by its terms it makes the right to such ac-
ton a condition precedent depending
upon notice and does not define the notice.
If it becomes a law it will be disastrous to
all parties and not accomplish what is in
tended. 1t is compromise between high
license and no license without any definite
object in view.
1t will open every saloon in the state all
night instead of operating to close them
at midnight,for it only forbids sale after
II O'Clock, but does not close the saloon.
1t will work, in my opinion, great injury
to the state, and is not one hundredth part
so good as our present law. 1t is made in
the interest of the wholesale dealer and
not in the interest of the temperance
cause.
