Mr.. Freeland Filed
His Objections

Fireworks" were near at several
periods during the meeting of the
liquor license board, which decided to
close all saloons and wholesale LIQUOR
houses on the island on June 80; but
probably closer when the following
letter was presented by George Free
land, the hotel man of Lahaina:
Lahaina, Maui, r. II.
March 9th. 1918
To the Board of Liqour
License Commissioners,
County of Maui,
Wailuku, Maui, T. II.
Gentlemen:
At the risk of being called unpatri-
otto or some other name by the op-
position, | desire to respectfully sub
nit few points for your considera-
ton on the proposal to refuse to is
sue any liquor licenses providing for
and permitting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the County of Maui
from and after July 1st., 1918.
The first question is whether the
Board has a legal right to refuse all
liquor licenses. The law was made
for the special purpose of regulating
and controlling the liquor traffic of
the Islands. Nobody at that time, eX-
cepting the fanatics whose mental
processes rest upon emotion rather
than reason believed that prohibition
would prohibit or that a moderate use
of liquors by persons competent to
use them discreetly was harmful or
illegitimate, neither was this awful
war forseen except by a few. l have
the opinion of leading legal light
of the Territory and also of a lesser
one but with perhaps as much wis
dom, both of whom agree that the
Liquor License Boards have no pow
er to refuse to issue any licenses,
but leaving that question aside, / will
show that if the Board does refuse
to grant all licenses, they will neither
regulate the sale nor regulate the con-
sumption of liquor as they do now,
and this is very important as a war
measure.
1t is well known that since Con-
gress has imposed extra Revenue
Taxes on all liquors, making them
much more expensive, the use of
'swipes" is greatly on the increase,
the same is true of ava, so much so
that small farmers have now gone
into the cultivation of ava, the sup
ply not being equal to the demand.
If refusing to issue licenses would
stop the consumption of liquor, it
would no doubt be an excellent war
measure for us and our Allies, altho'
the films recently seen at our theaters
entitled France in Arms" shows that
