st Albans liquor agency imbroylio
Of which an account was given IL
our telegraphio news Tuesday, ends ID
the discharge Of the agent, A A
Curtis, and an order for the return OF
the liquor seized to the agency.
This means that there is GO sufficient
proof that the agency has been run
on q saloon basis. But there is ut
least an illustration Of the corruption
that undoubtedly underlies . good
share of this business in the visit OF
Alderman Beeman to Boston to buy
liquors for the city agency, and after
getting the lowest prices be could by
calling o, the different stores, and
asking the one that made the lowest
offer what there was in it for
Besman' and getting the usual
commission for $3.50. He acted ss
detsctive in the operation and has
turned the money over to the city.
A liquor drummer has been quoted
as declaring that three fourths OF the
liquor sold to Vermont agencies is
bought in the same way with what is
practically bribe to the man who
does the purchasing. Even men who
are ordinarily pretty honest. satisfy
their corsciences by arguing that ss
they have got the lowest price they
could for the town, there is nothing
wrong, in themselves taking little
something" from the dealer who wants
their custom to pay for their
trouble" OF course the obvious
Answer, besides the general principle,
is that if the liquor is really bought
on a competitive basis, the whole
salers recoup themselves by taking it
out Of the quality.
How Lear true this drummer's
statemet is there lie no way Of proving
because neither bribe.tsker nor bribe
givsr can be made to testify, and we
can never know anything about it
except by such occasional glimpses as
this st Adams affair affords But We
do know that the town agency system
is one that naturally breeds just
such operations. While fully concedinR
the good motives Of the real sincere
who favor it, We can
uot deny that the system itself from
its foundation up is one Of hypocracy
and disregard Of law, and one for
which the whole community is
responsible. Four. tifths of the sales
1t least are unlawful ones. The
average citizen who thinks be believes
10 the law and the agency system,
regularly buys liquor not for 'medi.
.insl, mechanical or chemical pur-
poses. " II as is the practise, of some
agencies, he is required to sign GER
ifcsts stating that the purchase is
or such purposes, be does it without
