TEMPERANCE

Under the present law whereby one-hal.
| OF the license fees granted in town &c
to the town itself there is tendency
| on the part Of some towns. especially the
smaller ones, to vote for license for the
sake OF the revenue accruing therefrom
1t Is not in the interest OF temperance
and Is wrong In principle and practice to
permit pecuniary interest 20 influence
the voting Of any town on this question.
In some smaller towns where no one
could afford to pay the license fee IL de-
pendent for his income upon the in
habitants OF the town, licenses have been
granted because the close proximity OF a
larger town or city voting no license
makes a license profitable. This con-
dition works great wrong to such
neighboring towns or cities.
recommended that the local option
law be SO amended that all income from
the granting of licenses shall be paid
directly into the treasury of the State
Then towns and cities can vote upon
the question OF license strictly upon its
merits and un!nfluenced by any financial
consideration. The whole license fee
might fairly go to the State for the duty
and expense Of enforcing the local option
law and the indirect expense of the
liquor traffic largely falls upon It. The
municipal and other court expenses and
the expense OF maintaining jails and
other penal and rcformatory Institutions
are borne by the State. When n town or
city votes license the result Is larger

small proportion OF the expense OCCASION

GUS language of the document brought
forth storms of applause. first on the
Democratic side of the house, then on
the Republican, and eliminating in a
general demonstration by the entire
body. AS If in anticipation that some.
thing out OF the ordinary was going
to happen there was very full attend.
ance of members. Long after the
reading of the message had been con.
Guided it was almost the sole topic of
conversation among members OH the
floor and in the Hobbies.
The reading Of the presidents mes.
sage was the chief feature of the sen.
ate proceedings yesterday. The mes.
sage received careful attention on the
part of many senators on both sides
of the chamber. The senate ordered
the printing of 10000 copies. The re.
mainder Of the day was devoted to
routine business.
