BY J. EMORY STEELE.

What is county option!
Thousands of people In Wisconsin,
OF course, know what Is meant by
in this state who haven't a clear idea
of it.
County option Is nothing more or
less than the right of the majority In
any county to say whether the sale of
liquor shall be permitted or shall not
be permitted.
In other words, 1t is the rule OF the
majority applied to the liquor Ques
ton, with the county as a unit
In order to have county option it is
necessary that the legislature of the
state place a county option law OF
books of the state. Under this law
each county then VIII exercise the
right of saying whether there shall be
liquor traffic in the county
1t is simply applying the.great Amer
lean principle Of majority rule to the
liquor traffic, just as the principle OF
majority rule is applied to the bond Is
sue in the county.
But it must be remembered that the
liquor traffic has no inherent right to
exist; that it exists only by permission
of the people.
Therefore, the people have the right
to grant or refuse the right to exist to
the liquor trafnc by ballot. for the fair
est way to decide is by vote Of all the
people of the county.
1t has been asked Of mo:
why should a county be made the
unit? Why not let each village, town.
ship and city decide for itself. A. now.
in many states?"
The principal argument in favor Of
county option is the one Of taxation.
The expenses OF county government
are paid by all the people OF The eoun-
ty. The money to pay the cost Of the
courts, district attorneys ofice. sher-
t6's Office, coroner's oGce and the ex-
penses Of other county officials comes
from all the tax payers OF the county
Therefore. all tax payers OF the
county should have the right to vote
on any question that affects the tax
rate of the county.
Statistics prove that tho liquor tTaf.
DC creates expense and therefore At
fects the taxes Of the county
Statistics prove that a large per-
centage Of the work II the sheriff, dis
trict attorney, courts and the coroner
Is caused by the sale Of drink; that the
1ails, insane asylums, poor houses and
farms and charitable Institutions are
peopled largely by persons placed
within them through Che drink habit
The liquor men chain that tho tar
on the saloon pays the cost OF care Of
victims Of the liquor traffic
Any man or woman who has studied
taxation and the liquor traffic knows
the tax on the saloon does not begin
to meet the cost of its effect.
Who pays the cost Of the saloon that
IS not paid by the tax on the saloon?
The tax payers Of the county.
The question of law enforcement
also Is important.
When a county decides by ballot
that 1t wishes anything shall be done.
or not Zone, this decision is backed by
the law enforcement machinery Of the
county
II county should vote that it would
permit the saloon to exist within It's
limits, all the law enforcement ma
tchinerY within Observation-Disclosures
