A WHITE COUNTY OPINION

The Proctor liquor regulation bill passed the state senate last week by a vote of 27 to 21. The license fees- provided for cities are S7OO and in towns SSOO, including L the state fee of S2OO. This bill also limits the number of saloons to one for each 1,000 population and one for the first 50G. _ ' v The bill was not a party meas- \ ure;, as members of both parties voted both ; for and Jagainst it. Senator Stephen Fleming, the senator from Ft. Wayne and a millioniare opposed the bill, of course, oh account of the

limitation of the number of saloons and the high license j but what surprised the temperance people here was that our own Senator Halleck voted with Fleming against the regulation bill.
