WANT REFERENDUM
ON PROHIBITION
Vermont Anti-Saloon League Requests
Next Legislature to Submit Such
a Law to the Voters.

Burlington, April l5.-The corporators
of the Vermont Anti-saloon league held
their first meeting for organization un.
der the new charter yesterday in the
Y. NJ. G. A. building. The Rev. r. c.
Flagg was elected temporary clerk. The
bylaws which had been approved by
the board of trustees at the annual meet
ing March IL were adopted, and the Of
ficers elected at that time were made
the officers of the corporation, with
Frank Plumley of Northtield as presi-
ident, G. p. Cowles of Burlington, clerk,
and f. S. Pease of Burlington, treasurer.
The headquarters committee held a
meeting at l:30 p. m. at which G. I. $.
Pierce of Vergennes was chosen chair
man and the Rev. G. III. Smith, secretary.
Some routine business was transacted
and the following statement of facts
land policy was unanimously adopted:
"The legislature of 1902 referred to
the voters of the state the question of
adopting local-option law adopted by
popular vote February 3, 1903, is now
in the 18th year of its operation, and
has had full and fair trial under all con
ditions that are likely To arise, and its
hOfhlups anu IsSults nave DecOme Ia
miliar to the people OF the state. Many
people believe that it has not proved a
satisfactory method of dealing with the
evils of the liquor traffic.
'ln view of these facts we believe the
time has come when the statutory
method of dealing with the liquor traffic
should again be submitted to the people
of Vermont for their Judgment; and we
request the legislature meeting in regu-
lar sessionin January, 1915, to submit to
popular vote the question of adopting a
state prohibitory law in place OF the
local-option law now in force, such vote
to be taken at some convenient date
in October or November, 1915.
"Since the prohibitory features of the
present law have been found in the main
effective when honestly enforced, we
would suggest that the state prohibi-
tory law to be submitted to popular
vote be in substance the present law
with its losal-option high license
features for the regulation of the liquor
traffic stricken out, and with such ad-
ditions and notifications as experience
has shown to be needed"

Not only the Tampico incident

at Tampieo actually were taken
