THE PROPOSED. DISPENsARY
Law AMENDMENTS.
The Great State Whiskey Mono
poly Wants Beer Bar Rooms
Something About the Metro
pollton Police.

Iii is reported on coed authority that
one of the amendments to the dispeu
sary Law that will be urged to pas.
sage through the Legislature will be
one permitting the licensing of beer
saloons. The proprietors Of such sa.
looms to be compelled to buy their stock
at the State dispensary.
The reason given for the proposed
amendment is that so far the dispensary
has failed to make any money out ofthe
sale Of beer. A curious reason, BY the
way, in face of the assertion so often
made by the advocates Of the dispen-
sary that it is mot run for the sake Of
the profits. that being merely an ''in-
cidental'' feature Of the business.
1t is also urged that if beer saloons
are licensed aud the people can get II
freely, that then the blind tiger will no
longer flourish
The dispensary Law as amended, will
i, is said, also contain provisions au-
thorizipg the Governor to assume at
will full control of the police Of cities
and towns. In other words, metro
politau police system is to be engraf'ed
upon the already oner us dispensary
Law, and the Governor ti free com
mon wealth clothed with despotic pow.
ers.
These are the twc lrading amend
ments to the law. which are 10 be push.
ed through if possible, and as the ad.
miuistratiou has al the majority it
wants. and this will be an 'administra-
,ion measure, no doubt it will CO.
