Take Bennington again for example:
There are eight government licenses
granted here ~hilc there have been
times uhen thirty or forty saloons OF
various descriptions have been In OPP
GRAFTON In this town aud they did their
principal business from Saturday night
until Monday morning. giving us
Sunday a. the day when must intoxi.
cation was found, and leaving the men
unable TO work on Monday aud even
Tuesday, while nov our Sundays are
comparatively free from intoxicatIon.
Any man who made study OF this as
Mr. Ferguson has done must know that
these facts exist. In the state as a
whole there we're 575 United States
liquor sellers certificates held
under the last year OF prohibition
while In 1905 under license the number
has decreased TO $40.
We we're informed that the speaker
knew OF several licensed towns where
the summer boarders, who had previ-
ously come to Vermont for the pure
air and scenery, left and went els'.
where TO the great detriment OF the
state. Again lapse of memory, he
forgot to mention the towns and al.
lowing his statement TO be true II these
boarders went elsewhere in the state,
wherein did the state suffer loss and
where is the town selling liquor today
that did not sell liquor under the pro-
hibitory law?
The Banner does not believe that the
summer business has fallen of in YER
mont during the past three years but
on the contrary feels there has been
decided improvement In that direction
and certainly our experience in Ben
nington bears out the latter view. =
Mr. Ferguson asked where are the
new hotels which we we're promised II
the license law went into effect and
which we have so patiently waited for?
Did he forget that the license law had
not been in effect quite three years and
