LIMOS BILL FAVORED
RECOMPENSING SALOONISTS
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
(By Associated Press. !

(By Associated Press.)
Springfield, ILL.,, June 2S.-A new
mpaign issue between "wets" and
hrys" in Illinois, which may be
led in other states, took life dur
the closing days Of the Illinois
gislature. 1t was embodied in a
II that proposed that saloonists
no are put out of business by
bpular vote should be recompensed
the full value of their stocks and
ktures and compensated for the
good will" attached to their places
business. The expense was to
bme out of the public funds of any
bmmmunity voting out the saloons.
The bill was introduced into both
ranceh of the state assembly. 1t
las buried in a hostile COMMITTEE
the Senate. In the house it was
bported favorably and advanced to
Pcond reading where it died in the
losing days Of the session without
pming to vote.
Proponents of the measure have
hdicated, however, that while cir
|umstances gave them no hope of
access In the 1915 legislature the
Pill would be re-introduced in 1917
ind that meanwhile its provisions
Fould be used as campaign meterial
Isewhere. Opponents Of the pro-
|osal assert that the sole object OF
be liquor interest in introducing
he bill is to provide Club to hold
yer towns and cities" They point
ut that should the measure become !
wv. communities voting dry
'ould not only lose revenue but be
lulcted Of the cost of saloons in
Did cash. The anti-saloon peo-
le also said that they saw in the
Ills chances for illegitimate pri-
ate gain in that saloonists who
stoned the handwriting on the
alP' could lay In large stocks of
quor previous to elections, lose
tile or nothing II the vote resulted
their favor but gain consider
lie cash sum If the anti-saloon
rces won. The bill provided that
e saloon keepers should receive "a
fund Of the exact price paid to the
for his stock and FIX
res.
The history of the bill in the
use began late in the session.
lere were two committees dealing
tn the saloon questions, one called
. Temperance committe" being
imposed of "drys" and the other,
the liberals COM =.
ttee' being composed Of "wets." J.,
was to this latter committee that
. bill was referred. A public
airing was announced on the bill
d a special train load Of liquor
alers and manufacturers came to !,
ringneld from Chicago and other .
rts Of the state. Levy Meyer, a
icago attorney. was announced as .
spokesman for the allied liquor :.
and delivered an argu- a
Mt in favor OF the bill. No OPP q
tents of the measure were heard. "
Mr.. Mayer agued that the supreme fl
rt of the United States had re- Of
nized the saloon as legitimate Of
Iiness enterprise. He said that cl
necessarily followed that the W
Don keeper was entitled to re- IL
npense IL his business were
