FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1902.
The Vermont System.

House bill 1Oi, by Mr.. Battell, was in
troduced Wednesday morning. The
title Is IAN Act to Regulate and License
the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors; Guar
anteeing the Purity Thereof; and Pro-
viding for the Distribution of the Profits
of Such Sales"
1t is regarded by all who have made a
careful study of its provisions as the
best bill thus far introduced.
1t seeks to eliminate the element of
private or corporate gain from the bust
ness by having the profit from all sales,
whether by state stores, licensed drug
gists or hotel keepers, paid into the state
treasury and then divided among the
towns of the state according to the popula-
ton to be used by the towns as they vote.
1t is pure local-option measure.
The towns and cities determine, by
vote, Just how Intoxicating liquors shall
be sold, whether by the glass in the case
of malt liquors, and in sealed packages
each bearing the state label guaranteeing
the purity and quantity sold, If "hard
stufls," or whether only in sealed pack
ages; or whether for medicinal purposes
only.
No liquors can be sold in any town or
city unless such town or city so votes.
No licenses can be granted to any drug
stores or hotels unless the voters of that
town or city so direct by vote.
No bill before the legislature gives the
people so large a measure of local option.
If it should become a law the state
would be sure of three things:
First-Pure liquors for medicinal or
mechanical purposes or to drink.
Second-That the profits would all go
to the people.
Third-That the people of each town
or city could at all times regulate how
much liquors should be sold.
