MATTERS AND THINGS
FROM VARIOUS VIEW POINTS


TTTUIH IHt TIUIIIIIgt UH -NtWs,T
Another statement of DR. Mears. that "The
request for local option has come from the
liquor interests and not from the people of
Vermont is entirely gratuitiouS Just rs far
from the fact ~ his figures above quoted.
The fact is directly the reverse. In the
attempt to secure loc, option in the legisa-
ture last year the liquor sellers were against
local option. Their paid attorneys and friends
were at work from the opening to the close OF
the session In an effort to get n modification
OF the prima faaie evidence" section of the
prohihitorv law. But they took no interest
whatever in local option. The fact is that
license is cheaper under prohibition than il
would lie under local option and the sellers
don't want change.
