Washy Politician Believes He Has
Solved the Liquor Problem

Spokane, Wash.-The Republican
party in this State is pledged to local
option and the Democrats are on rec
ord as favoring absolute prohibition.
Knowing that there are voters to
whom neither course is acceptable,
E. E. Hall, Of Spokane, who is a
candidate, has come forward with a
novel plan. He would compel every
man and woman who drinks iDtoIi-
eating liquors to pay a license fee,
exempt saloon men and permit any
one who desires to engage in the traf-
fic, the sole restriction being to sell
only to license holders.
Outlining his plan, Hall said that
while he is willing to stand squarely
upon the Republican State platform
and vote for the passage Of a local
option law, if elected, he will intro
duce a measure which provides that
the man who drinks the liquor should
pay the license. He added:
"My plan would be to abolish all
saloon licenses, permitting any man
desiring to do so to sell liquor. If a
