Bill Up Promptly

Promptly at II o'clock Speaker
Amber laid the bill before the House.
Every available bit of space was taken
and the crowd in the chamber was
larger than at any session this year.
Right at the start a disposition to
object to Limitation of debate was
manifested. Mr.. Wagner. Allegheny,
offered a resolution reciting that ow-
ing TO the large number of members
who desired to speak it was the sense
of the House that all speeches be lim-
.ited to twelve minutes and that two
and one-half hours be devoted to de-
bate. chorus of noes" arose and
division was demanded. One hundred
and eleven men voted for the resolu-
ton and it was adopted.
Mr.. Williams, Tioga, sponsor of the
Dill, opened the debate. He stated
at the outset that the people behind
the bill were neither fanatics or
cranks on the subject of temperance,
Dut were loval patriotic men who
considered that the time had come TO
make change in the license laws.
The Brooks law, he held. had some
good features which were being re-
tained. The law. in his opinion. has
outlined its period of usefulness and
IN all fairness he said judges should
be relieved of the duty of acting on
liquor license applications.
The bill, said hr. Williams, con-
tains the referendum and the recall
and is progressive measure. 1t al
lows the people to rule, to say in
fair way whether there shall be Ii
quor sold in their counties. 1t is as
fair as the bill presented by a Blair
member TO allow third class cities TO
elect city treasurers. Answering the
contention that the unit should be
smaller than the county he said the
county was the fairest method. The
present law puts granting of licenses
in the hands of the county courts.
II the Legislature fails to enact
local option law, said Mr.. Williams,
the people will be heard from in 1915.
Mr.. Williams time had expired be-
fore he finished and the speaker call
ed his attention to the fact. Mr. Gra-
ham, Philadelphia. offered part of his
time and Mr.. Williams, was given an
allowance OF TING TO allow him TO con-
clude.
Predicts Uprising
People in Erie, Lackawanna, Schuyl-
Kill and other counties favor the bill,
said Mr.. Williams. who called atten-
ton of legislators to the many peti-
tions filed to the attitude of Woodrow
Wilson, when Governor of New Jersey

option was now a moral issue III
