In explaining the object and purn,rt
OF his resolution, Mr.. Tillman said
Mr. Presidents | will rive Il brief az |
plauation OF the condition in onr St,,n
which has caused me to introduco tnis
resolution
Within week the circuit indigo thorn
has declared that the dispensarv law il
f..
with the interstate commnrcc law
The dispensary law provides thnt
liquor shalt be sold in the |
State by other than a State oni |
Ger, who is under bond and limit
ed as to the hours of sale. He can |
not sell it in the nighttime, and he can
not sell 1T except inunbrOken packages !
sealed packages-and those packages |
are not TO DC broken 0n the premises
NOW, the circuit Judge comes along |
and declares that, as tho State r1cog-
nizes the sale OF liquor AS legitimate, it |
Is not an exercise OF the police power
TO restrict 1T IN the way we have done,
ana lhat therefore II citlZon OF any other
olaIe mas rlsht TO ship into the State
l n original packages anu 10 sell 1T with
tho limitations that the State law
imposes on It's State officers.
The State has at this time something |
like $500 600 invested in liuuor distrib- |
utcd at the different dispcusarirs. The !
Legislature will not meet until jan
uary. Tnere is no power ia The State |
to uspend the operation
Of the vast machinery for the hundlinr
OF this product. and yet under the con
ditiOns imposed by This decision nny
outsider can come in and open "a liquor
shop alongside OF the State dispcnsary
or anywhere else and sell at any price
he pleases, therefore resulting in great
injury to the morals OF the State and To
the welfare of tho community, as well
rs loss in the expenses which will at
tach by running the dispcnsaries under
such circumstances.
There is an erronoms ;mnros.io,
abroad that the state cnt,rnd nnn,hi.
business for the nrnftinit Tha, i, nnt

The opinion of this circuil iudpc that
