his horror at seeing an elderly member of one
of the first families of his State actually work
ing in his shirt sleeves as a laborer at ST.. so a
day, while dozen Republicans from the same
neighborhood hold positions in the depart

Local Option and High Tax.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
have lately read the able paper from Bishop
Merrill, and noted what the Journal has said in
the same strain about the liquor question. I
am original Prohibitionist, and have con-
cluded there is good deal of force in the views
taken by the Bishop and others. I can plainly
see how it would be unjust to counties where
prohibition could not be enforced if we had a
State prohibition law and nothing else, for in
such counties it would be giving free rein to
liquor-sellirg practically. This would be the
effect if we repeal all other laws now taxing it
under regulations, and. in all conscience, l can
not become party to such free reign of liquor
aid to impose such situation on counties
that could not enforce prohibition. Therefore
after great deal of reflection on this question
| believe Bishop Merrill is right. 1t is the prac-
teal things we have to do with, anyhow. Here
in Parke county we could enforce prohibition
but as local option law would give rs the same
in effect, am inclined to the view that the COM
ing law in Indiana ought to be local option for
counties that enforce prohibition, and,
coupled with it. the right to tax the traffic high
in the counties that can't enforce local option. /
believe we will have to come to that in this
State and / hope and trust that it may be the
ralying place for all shades of Temperate people,
for it will be just TO all sections, and give as
Prohibitionists prohibition just where we can
enforce it, and leave the traffic under restrictive
law where it cannot be enforced Ky.
