and Others

uted to him;
"I am going to tell the American
people that the criticism and the
charges made against Governor Harri.
son by Taft, Worcester Miller and
Austin, are pack of damned lies" "
This statement, Shuster acknowl.

Would Have Cities Of First
Class PermittedtO Handle
All Booze
BLIND PIGGERS WOULD
Be PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
Fake Drug Stores Would Also
Be Compelled to Close
Their Doors

Seattle, Wash, April 13.-Hi Gill,
mayor Of Seattle, the largest dry city in
the country today proposed, in u re-
markable interview, that the city of Sc
attic go into the saloon business.
The mayor offers this startling sug
gestion as the only effective means Of
eliminating the illicit sale Of liquor by
drug stores.
"I suggest" he said, "that the next
session of the legislature be asked to
enact law permitting cities oil the
first class to take enarge of the sale
of whiskey by physicians prescriptions
Druggists should be forbidden to sell
at ALL The city should establish sta
tiOns at widely distributed points in the
city sufficient to accommodate all
emergency needs" "
Such law, the mayor declares would
quickly put out of business drug stores
which have sprung up for the sole pur-
pose of harvesting a fat profit off
whiskey drinkers.
Persons who want liquor would be
compelled to get it by the method pro-
yided in the prohibition law, through
permits issued by the county auditor.
And the worst of the blind pigging
would be wiped out, st least, so far as
Seattle is concerned.
Mayor Gill has given the prohibition
enforcement problem considerable
study,
Attorney Indorses idea.
Prosecuting Attorney Alfred Lundin
today gave the mayor s idea his em'
phatic endorsement He said he sees
no reason why it cannot be carried
through
1t is possible that the state republi.
can convention, to be held at North
Yakima on May 6 may be asked to
adopt resolutions favoring such law
as the mayor advocates.
"There are lot of shyster doctors, "
Gill declared, "who will sell whislley
prescription to anyone. AS long as Sc
attic is afflicted with these fellows,
and with professional blind piggers,
we are going to have trouble enforcing
the law.
The mayor told of the frequent in
quiries he received for information "a
to how the prohibition law is working
out in this city and state.
"I tell these people," he said, "that
what l can see with my own eyes-that
prohibition has been a wonderful thing
for Seattle. / know men who now keep
their families clothed and their grocery
bills paid who, in the days of the saloon,
never had a nickel. know that times
are better. I've seen enough to know
that am now 'dry'-dry as -- and
l IN going to stay dry
"There may be some soaks who still
go into the back room Of drug stores
and guzzle booze, but your boy, and my
boy, aren't doing it, There aren5t any
saloons for them to walk into. And if
l have my way there aren't going to be
any saloon.drug stores either"
