System is Faulty

1t is stated that the King of Sweden,
at the request of Prime Minister Staaf,
has appointed commission to pre-
pare and report measures for the per-
lection of her local option laws and
the reform of the Gothenburg system
of liquor selling with the view of ulti-
mate prohibition of the traffic through
out the kingdom. The unsatisfactory
result of the half century of Gothen-
burg system of liquor selling has
driven the government to take these
preliminary steps looking to complete
prohibition.
