tered STOCK and interest on fictitious indebted |
ness.
RESOLVED, That whereas. under the present ]
law providing for the sale of intoxicating liquors.
It has been clearly demonstrated that too much /
power and discretion is vested in the Probate |
udges Of the State In granting and refusing per
nILs, and that the hTe cent Zee paid for the filing
IF statements made for the purchase Of liquor is /
an incentive for granting permits and makes the /
Jthcer really cO-partners for the sale of iut0EicaL
ne liquor; therefore be it resolved that the legis-
allure of the state of Kansas should at once pass
such laws for the regulation of the sale Of ntOZ-
eating liquors as viii promote saluLary IufOFce- ]
