1t should be stated that Mr. Orvis,
proprietor of this hotel, appeared be-
fore this committee a short time ago
asking for the passage OF this bill.
Mr. Archibald also said IL this bill
becomes u law it Will nulify the local
option feature of the license law and
he did not believe the argument that
sixth class licenses are needed to
develop summer hotel business Is
sound.
Mr. Jackson OF Barre city opposed the
bill doing away with the second class
licenses both because he did not believe
1t wise to make any radical change in
the present license law this year and be-
cause his observations in Washington
county. and especially in Barre city, had
convinced him that 1t is the t-cla 81
licensed places, not the second class that
made the trouble and that furnish the
DRINKS for the police courts. Mr.. Jack
, son also opposed the bill which provides
\ or county option as bad in principle and
as change in the present law that Ia
nat desirable. If a majority of one or
more voters in any county can say that
n,o liquor shall be sold in any town or
civ in that county 1t is only fair that
wiM, the same small majority the other
way every town and city in the county
can have oben bars when the majority
Of the people OF those towns and cities
do not want licensed places
Mr.. Archibald also expressed his Nh
pectiona to the monopolstic features O.
the prest mt law whereby a favored few in
towns ana cities that vote for license get
all the pAums. He favored a. local option
law without the high license feature and
every one license who wants II at a
nominal figure.
NO MOR e TAX LEGISLATION.
The committee on double taxation
wrestled with this troublesome problem
on Thursday avening and after coming
to the conclusion 1t was u jump In the
dark to endeavnr to settle the question
without a more careful consideration
than could be given this session decid-
ed to report all bills adversely. AS ono
member expressed il, any legislation
now would upset existing taxation in
the towns and untEl they knew how It
would effect them they felt dubious
about recommending any general
scheme without some basis to operate
upon. The committee decided the best
way out was to report adversely all
bills. The members Of the special COM
mittee have been engaged on other
committees and have not had the time
at their disposal to go into the subject
as fully as they desired. Even at the
public hearing the other evening Gov
ernor Page. after stating he believed
something should be done, wound up
by admitting he did not know where It
would land them and advised caution.
