cause they are paternalistic and be-
cause the public, which is interested In
dispensary profits, is given an incen-
tive to see that liquor is sold, as the
more liquor sold the greater the rev.
enue. The dispensary method of SELL
ing. taken by itself, is a vast improye-
ment over bargroom methods. from the
Temperance standpoint
"This bill should receive the support
OF dispensary advocates, as it provides
for that method of sale. Saloon oppo-
uents will favor 1t because 1t abollshes
at once every saloon in the Common

support OF the liquor interests, because
it permits liquor to be sold, though
