LOCAL OPTION NOW A FACTOR IN
LIOQuOR LAWS.

Local option is certain TO remain
constant principle in liquor legislation
and IL Is being used more and more
as the means whereby to make dry
or as dry as possible, states In which
general prohibition seems unattainable
at the present time. Notable among
such states are those east OF the Mis-
sisslppi with many and large urban
centers. The cry Is to capture such
cities one by one until each state
can be laid under the ban OF prohibi'
tion. Since it Is evident that munich
palites are not easily persuaded to
give a majority for no-license, the
expedient has been adopted Of fore
ing prohibition upon them by aid OF
an extra-municipal vote through the
device OF county local option. In
other words, the local option legisla-
tion now TO the fore is not designed
70 permit a free expression OF the
sentiment OF the local community, but
to overthrow IL where need be. This
happens when the majority given for
license by a municipality at an cleo
tion is nuIlified by majority Of rural
votes in favor OF local prohibition.
Such use OF the local option prin
ciple was not contemplated in the
early legislation. 1t IS a perverslon

dered expression Of its will in the
matter Of legalizing or prohibiting the
sale OF liquor. This hurried sketch
OF the development OF local option leg.
islation will make clear.
For the germ OF local option legis-
lation one has to 20 back to the year
1929. when the selectmen OF each
town in the state Of Maine we're au-
thorized TO decide whether or not
liquor selling should be permitted.
This indirect method deciding the
issue soon ceased TO have legal
warrant. The real beginnings OF To-
cal option legislation date back 10 the
eighties, when the experiments with
SUITE VIDE prohibition had become
thoroughly discredited. 1t was the
one ahing saved from the Irohibition
wreck. Experience had shown that
although general prohibition has er
eryshere been disregarded or eyad-
ed in the large urban centers and
that this had led to a condition OF
things that was fraught with serious
menace TO true progress, the law was
although very rarely, ca
pable Of enforcement in the rural d s.
trlcts and small towns. II therefore
seemed natural to provide such pia-
ces an opportunity TO remain under
Hence local option laws. /
It is worthy OF note, however that .
even while lacking any warrant in law
not a few communities had under
taken to exclude the liquor trade.
They were, OF course, strictly rural
Massachusetts led the way in 1881
with the first full-fledged local option
law, which ever since has been In
force. The legislation of another
state may antedate II, but was not

historical growth of local option leg
station in the different states. but
'ather to show the conditions brought
about under local option some time
prior to the advent of the present
temperance wave.
BY the year 1900 there were seven
teen htat@s in which local option
could legally be exercised by direct
vote applicable to all locali-
les six had local option by direct
popular vote applicable to special
ocalities or rural districts only; nine
states had direct local option through
power vested in city
councils and other local governing
,odies: and in five states there ex-
sted the right to vote by remon-
trance and by provisions requiring
he consent of legal voters, property
lolders, etc.
