STATE nlsPENsARY.

Representative Moore of Idaho
county will soon introduce a bill
in the Idaho legislature, which
has for it's object the establish
ment of a state dispensary law
for regulating the liquor traffic.
The bill has been drawn after
the South Carolina law. Should
the bill be passed and become a
law, it will completely revolu-
tionize the sale of intoxicating
liquors. 1t promises to be an
important feature of the legisla-
ture.
The bill provides that on and
after July /, 1908, the sale of in
toxicating liquors in the state of
Idaho shall be under q system of
state control consisting of a
board composed of three memb-
ers who shall be over 25 years OF
age and not addicted to the use
of the beverage. All former laws
are repealed and no licenses for
the sale of liquor of any kind
shall be issued after June Both,
1903. 1t further provides that
the governor shall appoint the
three members of the board on
or before the first day of May,
1908, to serve until the general
election in 1904, when their sue
cessors shall be elected by the
people, one for two, four and six
years. The members of the
board shall receive $500 per
year salary and necessary expen-
ses; the board shall appoint an
expert bookkeeper at $500 a
year and a chemist at $4,000 pei
year, and such assistants as it
shall deem necessary.
The board of county commits
sioners of each county are made
-officio members of the state
board.
Local dispensaries can only be
established upon vote of the
people upon the presentation
of a petition to the county com.
missioners signed by not less
than one third of the qualified
voters of any county, city, town
or voting precinct, asking for an
election to be held at which the
voters shall express their wish.
