Abstract

Aspects of Local Opinion
November 20, 1902 issue

add to cart   close window

The joint temperance committee of the Vermont House and Senate have recommended a high-license bill, giving it the preference over a bill embodying the chief features of the Gothenburg plan of State dispensaries. Having tried and found wanting the theory that a State can by law prevent its citizens from drinking alcoholic liquors, Vermont will probably fall back upon the rival doctrine that each community may regulate the sale of liquor according to its own desires and needs. The peculiar form of local-option law that will be submitted to popular vote is not yet settled, but it seems likely that the law will provide for a "yes or no" vote on the question of license at stated and rather long intervals.
