Governor Richie Gives His Plan
For Liquor Control In MARYLAND
Local Option Stressed By Executive Proposes Low
Malt High Rum Levy By State Assembly - Cites
Different Opinion In Various Localities

Governor Richie yesterday sent
all Maryland legislators his proposal
for comprehensive liquor bill, advo-
eating local option, separation of
beer from wines and liquor and a
State excise tax on stronger bever-
ages.
The Governor pointed out that the
whole principle of Maryland ira
ditions rests on the question of local
option. Counties and cities should
be free to adopt or reject any part
of the proposal or stay dry if they
wish"
Beer, under the Richie plan, would
continue to be on sale under the
present conditions until changes in
its alcoholic content warrants it's in
clusion in the class of stronger
drinks. Sale by the drink would be
permitted in localities which wanted
it in hotels, restaurants, cafes, clubs
epAl0 OoNCIASs OOulLlCS WHICH, uCSlI6
wines or liquors for consumption on
the premises would have their own
county license board.
AS regards local option the Gov
ernor said in part:
81 see no possible solution of the
liquor question in this State except
on the principle of local option. This
is in accord with Maryland ira
ditions and practices. In that way
only can we adopt the new plan to
the needs and conditions of the var
ious localities of the State and put
behind it that sanction of popular
approval in each locality which is
necessary for its enforcement.

lions are presented. 1t seems adj
visable to recognize the differences
between city and county viewpoints,
and to benefit by local knowledge
and experience.
"COUNTIES-The bill will provide
the machinery and procedure of the
present Statewide beer law for both
'on sale and off sale licenses for
beer alone-that is, such licenses will
be granted after due notice by the
clerks of court of the several coun-
ties, unless protests are filed, and
protests will be heard and decided as
at present by the Bureau of State
Licenses. The same procedure will
be followed in the case of 'off-sale'
licenses in the counties for wines
and liquors. including beer.
SIN those counties, however, which
decide to have 'on sale licenses for
wines and liquor, including beer
that is, which wish to license hotels,
restaurants, cafes, clubs and taverns
there will be county licensing
board, which will investigate and de-
eide all applications for such ION
sale licenses, subject to review by
the Bureau of State licenses.
can excise, or gallonage tax, will
be proposed for wines and liquors
It is fair, I think, that such tax
should be seriously considered. II
lis important, of course, for many
good reasons, that this tax should
not increase the retail price Of wine
or liquor unduly, and the uncertainty
of what the Federal tax will b.
makes it difficult to decide the fail
rate for the State.
"This plan is not proposed with
any idea with interfering with any
political unit of the State in its
regulation of the problem of beer
and liquor control within its own
borders. The details of the plan
are tentative and the entire pro
posal should be subjected to very
careful scrutiny and consideration.
"The plan is respectfully submitted
to the members of the Maryland
Legislature and to all others inter-
ested, with the hope that it may at
least furnish the basis of intelligent
discussion for the preparation of a
sound and effective law for Maryland
on this very difficult and debatable
subject"

It was also the consensus Of the
meeting that retail sale of hard
liquors be permitted on the premises
of the ten suburban clubs of Mont
gomery County. The sale of beer
and wines would be allowed in res
taurants and cafes.
Various reactions have been noticed
since the announcement favoring the
dispensary system. By far the ma
jority of those questioned about the
proposed system are quite skeptical
Many say that the supposed object OF
repeal, namely, to end bootlegging,
will not be brought about. They
point out that permission to pur-
chase liquor only in package guam

out that the dispensary system means
the consumption Of liquor in the
home. 1t is felt by quite a number
that the sale Of whiskey and other
hard liquors by reputable business
men, properly licensed, could be sue
cessfully maintained in the larger
towns Of the county.
Attention is drawn to the fact
that nearby communities and cities
will undoubtedly provide a more lib
eral system Of selling liquor. Many
say that repeal was voted to make
legal whiskey easily accessible TO the
masses. They decry the fact that
the prosperous clubs and their pa
irons will be granted privileges

A definite program for the control

the total area of the county petition
for such an election.
The Mayor and Town Council Of
Rockville will ask the Legislature to
permit the borrowing of $4,000 from
the Federal Government to improve
Streets. OF this amount, $500 would
be an outright grant. The remainder
or $11, 900, would have to be paid back
within 80 years at four per cent in
terest. There was practically no OPP
position to the plan of the Town
Council and if the Federal Govern
ment approves the loan, the General
Assembly will offer no stumbling
block.
The School Board had requested a
grant of $187,524 from the Public
Works Administration but has been
notified that it will receive but $780,
900. According to DR.. Edwin w.
Broome, county superintendent of
schools, no project can fairly be elm
mated from the construction program.
He has intimated that the Legisla-
ture may be asked to approve loan
for the remaining $27,524. The School
Board is practicularly anxious to get
school construction under way to pro-
vide work for over 200 unemployed.
Sunday movies are also contemplate
ed for Montgomery County. Although
county leaders have previously fav-
ored Sunday movies only for the SUI
burban section, the delegation is ex-
pected to also approve seven-days-a-

pointed out that the Chamber of Com

tically every business man in town

Greek Foreign Minister
Once American Official

ATHENS. Greece-Demetrius Maxi

vice consul at Patras, Greece, from 1899
to 1903. At that time he was assistant
manager Of the local branch Of the Ma

consulate show that he enjoyed the
respect of a series of consular officers.
In 1914, Maximos became assistant
governor of the National Bank, and In
1920, governor, a position which he
held until 1922. He was given the port

which are the most important in
