MODEL LICENSE LEAGUE
Outlines Its Ideas as to Handling the
Liquor Traffic.

Louisville. Ky, Jan. 22-Denuncia-
ton of prohibition as insincere and
fallacious gave way today to taking
the sense OF the delegates to the au-
nual convention Of the National Model
License League on the question of
proper regulation of the liquor trade
adoption of resolutions by the several
hundred delegates present from all
parts of the United States. The reso-
lutions follow:
First, that as representatives OF
brewing, winemaking and distilling
trades and of wholesale liquor dealers,
saloon keepers, inn keepers and mem
bers of collateral trades, we protest
against al intemperance in the sale Of
alcoholic beverages and against all
lawlessness of every sort whatsoever
in the sale of such beverages.
Second, that intemperance is a curse,
and every man who becomes intoxi-
Gated should be arrested and prescott =
ed.
Third, that Treating" which is re-
sponsible for so large a per cent. of in
voluntary intemperance. should be OPP
posed by public sentiment and by every
member of our trade.
Fourth, that the licenses of all re-
tail liquor dealers who violate law
should be cancelled.
Fifth, that prohibition is n-Ameri-
can. that it is opposed to the idea of
individual sovereignty and to the spirit
of our institutions and furthermore it
must continue to be merely a costly
al he, nc If nrobihits nn1v
the manufacture and sale of alcoholic
beverages.
Sixth, that when prohibition. wheth-
er fer state or county. is submitted to
the people. it should prohibit not only
the sale. but the purchase, possession
and Use of wine. beer and whiskey.
Seventh, that the county should not
be the unit in local option contests as
il does not represent the American
principle OF local self-government.
Eighth, that where prohibition is
adopted by legislature or a people.
the manufacturers and dealers in wine.
beer ana Uhiskcy should be compen-
stated fer investments made prior to its
passage in obedience to demand and
under the sanction of existing laws.
Niath, that the National Model Lii
ccnse League reiterates it's conviction
that the sale of alcoholic beverages
can ne properly regulated by providing
that licenses shall renew themselves
each year until cancelled by a vote of
the people or by conviction of violation
of the law: that no more licenses shall
be- issued until the proportion is not
more than one for each 500 of popula-
ton: that license fees shall not be I'M
reasonable or in the nature of a pen
atty: the conviction for violation of
law, second offence, shall cancel the Ii
cense and prohibit the holder from en-
g;ging iii the business again.
A supplemental resolution was
declaring the leagues idea to
be the ultimate salvation of all
trades" and urging all allied industries
to enter the movement at once.

AS REPORTED.
House Passes Naval Appropriation Bill
Without Amendment.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Exactly as re-
ported by the committee the naval pro-
gram for the fiscal year 1910 was
adopted today by the HOUSE of Repre-
sentatives and the naval appropriation
bill was passed. The opponents of in
crease for the navy found themselves
in hopeless minority. The only vital
alteration made in the measure was
elimination of the provision restoring
marines to naval vessels. The aggre-
gate amount appropriated by the bill
Is 3135 100000.
As has been the case in the past the
increase in the naval estimates gave
rise to long and heated debate. in
which members had an opportunity to
air their views on the Japanese ques-
ton. The advocates of peace were
much In evidence In opposition to sucn
increases but the supporters of the in
creases were alive to every effort TO
cut down the number of vessels au-
thorized.
