MAJORITY is DEMOCRATIC

Considerable interest is being
shown in this valley in the Pace
amendment to the local option law,
in fact petitions are being circulated
asking the legislature to pass the
amendment. Until Mr.. PAGES visit
to the valley we were ignorant as to
the contents of his bill and were un-
able to discuss it intelligently.
While the sending in of the peti-
tions mentioned cannot do any
harm, we do not believe they will
influence a single vote in the legis-
lature. 1t is supposed that we have
a set of intelligent men in that body
who know the requirements of their
constituents. Where members come
from counties wanting the local OPP
ton laws amended, they will vote
for it, otherwise they will not.
The amendment introduced by
Mr.. Pace simply changes the num-
ber of votes required to vote dis
trict dry, from a two-thirds to a
majority.
A majority vote on all questions
is undoubtedly democratic, and
wherever the statute provides for a
larger vote than this on any public
question it is democratic to change it.
If a community does not want a
saloon, it should not be forced upon
it, but in our opinion the amend
ment to this law will affect very
few saloons. AS long as men and
women live and whiskey is made
they viii drink when they so desire,
1t is, therefore, better for any com.
munity to have a saloon, run under
proper restrictions, than to have
whiskey sold through a blind,
tiger" such as nearly all dry towns
have. And one "blind-tiger" will
sell more whiskey to minors and
habitual drunkards than twenty
well regulated saloons.
1t would, therefore, in our opin
ion be far better to place high
Graham guardian., 1909-02-05

license on the saloon BUSINESS so
that none but first-ciass places could
be run, amend the laws so that all
kinds Of gambling will be prohibited
in these places, and you have done
more for the Territory as a whole,
than for a community here and
there to drive out all of its saloons.
The democratic principle of ma
jority rule means the greatest good
to the greatest number. If the pro-
posed amendment closes only a few
saloons and opens up "blind-tigers"
very few are benefited. If high
license law is passed and gambling
prohibited, and the saloon men COM
PEELED to conduct their places so that
minors are absolutely prohibited
from frequenting them, a large ma
jority are benefited.
If the amendment proposed would
close every saloon in the Territory,
then a majority would be benefited,
but the strongest supporters of the
measure agree that it will only close
saloons in few communities.
Let the majority rule in all things,
but see to it that the majority is
benefited by this rule.
