STATE ANTI.SALOON
LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Attitude Set Forth in Resolution Of
Committee.
GOV.-ELECT MANN SUPPORTS
MEASURE.

Inc state Anti-Saloon League of Vir
gina IS in session in Richmond thi,
week. The attendance is large and en-
,huslasm runs high. Among the speak
ers of note was Governor-elect Mann
VINO supported the following reso
luton by the legislative committee OF
the Anti-Saloon League:
Whereas, it has become evident that
the present Legislation concerning the
sale OF ardent spirits is not adeouate

ely from the baneful effects of this
oestru ctive traffic, and, whereas. the
local option policy is being used by the
lquor traffic as method of obtaining
oepcts OF supplies in the heart of drv
territory, and, whereas the conditions
In the larger cities of the State are such
as to render it practically impossible to
OBTAIN fair expression of the will of
the intelligent electorate upon the cues
ton OF liquor license;
Resolved. That the convention
hereby lnstructs the legislative COM
mlttee of the Anti-Saloon Leapue of
virginia to request the General Assem-
Oily Oh Virginia to enact such legislation
as VIII allow the voters of the State to
can an election upon the question of a
Statewide prohibition liquor law when
ever such an election shall be demanded

20 per cent of the number of votes cast
IN the last State election for State Off
GERS
Whlie not contemplating the imme-
oiate election, or the submission of the
question of Statewide prohibition bv
the Legislature, the report calls for
the passage of an act which will allow
the voters of Virginia to call an election
on the question of Statewide prohibi-
tion whenever one-fourth of the quail
NED voters may demand it.
Starting from that point the report
proceeds to give asseries of arguments
why the local option plan has served it's
tlme and should be retired in favor of
state option. The statement is made
that while it may yet be useful in some
places, the league has gone as far as it
can under local option with profit. and
tnat the time has come for an extension
OF that policy to the State at large.
The several methods by which a State
wide prohibitory law might be enacted
are then taken up in detail and dissected.
the committee declaring as primal that
majority of the voters must approve
any law or it will not stand.
For that reason the committee does
not favor calling on the present General
Assembly to pass a Statewide prohibit
ton law.

GET BUSY, BUT BE CAREFUL,

Between Governor Swanson's Mes
sage and Speaker Byrd's speech OF
acceptance, the new legislature should
have no delay in getting to work and in
producing practical results. The limited
time In which to perfect legislation which
must stand two years without amend
ment makes it necessary to have well
defined line of action in the beginning.
The danger of sixty-day term lies in
nasty and ill-digested legislation, which
may easily cost Taxpayers of the State
more than ninety days of annual session.
II we are to have only biennial sessions
OF the legislature, they should not be less
than ninety days each. There is in legis-
lation as in other affairs, such a thing as
saving at the spigot and wasting at the

GAME LAWS AND LOOSE DOGS.

1t Is said that a drastic game law is
being drafted for consideration by the
General Assembly. That one is badly
needed there is no mistake, and unless
something is done for the protection of
game it will soon be extinct. We would
like to see a law enacted that would
make it misdemeanor to let any dog
run at large during from the lst of
March until young birds and other game
fowl get large enough to take care of
themselves. 1t is during this season
that the eggs and young birds are
destroyed by thousands by dogs being
allowed to roam the fields. In fact. it
is safe to say that more are killed in
this manner than by the huntsmen. for
it is an indisputable fact that hound
dog will suck" eggs and that young
bird dog will chase and kill young birds.
Have our lawmakers the nerve to enact
such a measure? We don't believe thew
have. South Hill Enterprise.
