WV
Say Local Option Do-sa't Work.
The Executive Committee OF the State Liquor
Dealers Association net at the Lexington Opera
House yesterday afternoon and appointed tho
following subcommittee on legislation: Morris
Tekulsky and Frank q. Rim Of this city. Henry
Newman OF Brooklyn. John Gabriel OF Buffalo,
and George Mead OF Troy. This committee is
to attend the sessions Of the Legislature TO look
after the interests Of the liquor dealers. Mr..
Tekulsky. Chairman OF the subcommittee. had
this to cay about tho wishes OF the association:
I'VE favor some changes In the existing law.
We want to see the sale OF liquor completely d.
vorced from the ssalo of dry goods. furniture.
and the like in the big department stores. 1t 10
our claim that women and children are per-
mitted to buy liuuor at these stores, and they
constitute n class which should have the most
ample protection undo r the law. We find that the
local option provision OF the law does not work
we'll. The places which go dry on election day
are the wettest' places In tho State all the rest
of the year. The illegitimato sale OF liquor
which results in these places works great injus-
tice TO dealers near by who try to obey the law
and who pay the tax. Another thing which we
desire is a reduction OF the LIQUOR tax In large
cities for places which have no hotel accommo-
datlons.
"Ail these changes we will embody in a bill to
amend the Raines law. which we propose to
have introduced In the Legislature"
