GOVERNOR MILT IN SPECIAL MESSAGE (Continued From Page Seven.) ity to authorize the Issuing of bonds or the creation of a debt to meet it. If the state deBlres to bestow a gratuity upon the university because it is an educational institution which the state wishes to foster, it must bestow the gratuity In money and not in evidence of indebtedness. County Local Option. The welfare of the state, viewed from either a moral or an economical standpoint, requires- the enactment of a law giving to the qualified voters of the respective counties of the state the right to vote upon the question of the exclusion of the liquor traffic from any such county. In my judgment it is both . expedient and right that this legislation be enacted now. . The traffic in intoxicating liquors is owned and controlled today by a few men. It 1b closuly and compactly organiied, both for defense and aggression. Its conduct has become such as

to challenge the thoughtful consideration of the people of every state in the union. In this commonwealth this is especially true. The independent retail dealer, owner of his place of business and responsible to the community where he does business and in which he lives, is fast becoming a memory. He has almost ceased to be. More than 35 per cent of the places where liquors are sold at retail to be drunk on the premises where sold, are owned or controlled-by brewery corporations, whose directors and officers live out of the vicinity where the business is carried on and who have no interest or identity with the people of such communities. Many of them live in palatial residences in fashionable quarters in . the larger cities of the state, far removed from the scenes of the barrooms they maintain. These men, acting through the legal fiction called a corporation, buy or rent the buildings where the business is conducted. They own the fixtures. They furnish the liquors. They pay the license fee. Where taxes are paid, they pay them. The law inhibits the issuing of a license to a corporation. To evade this license is taken in the name .of some irresponsible person

who owns no propeVty and has no concern and no mission except to sell Intoxicants to anybody, at any hour, on any day, in order that his master, the brewer, may gather his daily measure of profit The brewery corporation, the brewer himself or some paid agent executes the bond required of the licensee, and he is given to understand that he must conduct the place turned over to him at a profit to his mastery and that he may evade the law without substantial risk. If he is prosecuted, he is defended. If he is fined, his fine is paid. His place is a rendezvous for the bile, the vicious and the criminal a hotbed for the breeding of vice and crime. In time of civic excitement or social dis order, arson and murder iscue from it like beasts from a lair. This is the experience and this the testimony of every city that has become the victim of the mob or whose laws have been defied by riot Those in control of these places are concerned about nothing but profits and increased revenue. To obtain these they multiply saloons, plant them in residential districts ar1 establish them in communities where saloons otherwise would not go. For years they have stood for and have

countenanced anything that would promote the sale and consumption of their product, lawful or unlawful. The aggression and the intolerance of the traffic, coupled with its utter disregard of law, led the sixty-fourth general assembly to enact a law giving to tfce majority of the legal voters cf any township or city ward the power, by remonstrance, filed with the board of county commissioners, to exclude the traffic from such territory for a period of two years. Under the provisions of this law the traffic has been excluded, in three and one-half years, from 830 of the 1,016 townships in the state, from many city wards, from a number of cities and from twenty-five entire counties. More than 1,600,000 people now live in territory where there Is no licensed saloon. But this territory is constantly Invaded by the traffic and a constant warfare against it is necessary for its exclusion. This statute was enacted without submission to the vote of the people, but its effects have been so beneficent and the good accomplished under It has been so great that the people of the state are unwilling to see it repealed, modified or weakened. So strong is the sentiment in its behalf that both the great parties in the state are pledged to maintain it inviolate. And the desire of the people for the further restriction of the traffic is so sincere, so manifest and insistent that both parties have promised additional and supplemental leg

islation. Two methods are suggested. One a township and ward election, where the people of the ward or township may vote for or against the traffic. The

other, a county election, where peo

ple of each county may vote for or

against it. Between these two prop

ositions both the temperance people and the loquor Interests of the state have made quick and decisive choice. The first method would add nothing to the present statute. The unit would be precisely the same as that covered by the present remonstrance law. It would not be a step for the further restriction of the traffic, but a step toward the weakening of the present restraint. In practice it would greatly impair if not effectually destroy the remonstrance law. Operating over the same territorial unit conflict would ensue and the remonstrance law would be supplanted. The township or ward covers too small a territory to be an effective unit A city, ward or township is not a substantial governmental unit. They have no officers qualified

or empowered to enforce the laws of the state relating to the traffic. The expense of criminal prosecutions for

crimes committed in the township or ward is not borne by such township or ward alone, but by the county as a whole.

The county is a well recognized and long established unit of government. It has officers and courts and machinery by which the law of the state can be enforced. The people of this unit all share the cost of criminal prosecutions for crimes committed within it The traffic's evil effects can more nearly be confined to Its borders. The difference between the two methods is emphasized and accentuated by the character of those who support them. Good men may be back of the township and ward unit, but back of it are also the allied liquor interests of the state, organized as a single unit Every brewer, every distiller every saloon keeper, the keeper of every brothel and of every unlawful ersort, and every allied Interest that can be reached, individual or corporate, are supporting it, and they are are not half-hearted in their support of it against county option. They are here and will be here throughout this session, active, dominant, arrogant, intimidating and corrupting, prepared to defeat county option at any cost or by any means within their power. They seek, through you to take over unto themselves the enactment of law. They are reaching for the reins of government everywhere and in every department, that they may administer it in their own behalf. On the other side is the great body

Despite the fact that Earl Monroe vigorously denied the charge that he Intended to beat Mrs. Mary Lewis out of a board bill, and with tears informed the court that If he was sent to Jail his wife who lives in Connersville would leave him. Judge Converse assessed a fine of ?25 and costs. With tears in his eyes the young man was led to jail. Monroe was captured Wednesday night near Centerville after leading local policemen an exciting chase. He explained his flight this morning in the city court by saying he was anxious to get to Connersville so as to get some money to pay off his board bill. "Don't send me to jail. Your Honor. Let me go so that I can prove that I am an honest man. All I ask of you Is a square deal," he pleaded. Monroe stated he had gone to Connersville Tuesday afternoon to see his wife. He said she was mad at him and he wanted to calm her angry passions. She is just a young girl and I give her most of my money because she HVes to dress well." "Why didn't you bring some of that money back with' you Wednesday to pay your board bill?" asked the prosecutor. Monroe stated he didn't want to tell his wife he owed any money here. "But when I started back to Connersville Wednesday I Intended to get some money and bring it back to Richmond to pay my debts." Monroe was unable to explain why he had taken all his clothes with him Wednesday and had left them with a farmer who was a total stranger to him.

of our people, the many, the masses, unorganized, without celerity of movement or corrupting power. They are for county local option. They plead their cause in the open.

government this is, whose commission you hold, whose representatives you are. Thousands of them are here to urge their claim upon you. The brewers, the distillery, the sal

church, the school, the home, on the other! County option is in harmony with the spirit of our institutions. It is

in accord with the basic principle of American government It meets the

requirement of the great declaration that "governments shall derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." How can a man who enjoys the blessings of free popular government, and

who professes to believe in democratic

institutions where the people them

selves, by majority, exercise the right to rule, consistently deny to the people

of the several counties of this commanwealth the right to exclude this traffic from their midst if they so desire? I reiterate my belief that it is both expedient and right to enact this legislation now. If it is right to enact it i-.ext January, it is right to enact it in September. Therefoie I recommend to you and urge upon your favorable consideration the enactment of a local option law with the county as a unit, giving to the people the right to vote by counties upon the question, and so drawn as to preserve the present remonstrance law. In this I voice the thought and express the conscience and the purpose of the people whose servants we are. If your enactment shall voice their thought and express their purpose, you may justly claim their approval. As Individuals and as representatives of the people, your responsibility Is the same, whether you are of the majority or of the minority. Right Is right, and he opposes it can rot long find refuge behind the barricades of party. The general assembly is now in session. You constitute it. You have the power to legislate. The people know you have the power. They will not be satisfied with postponement or delay. They expect you to act upon this quesr tion before you adjourn. These are the reasons that Impelled me to convene you in special session. In presenting them to you I do but discharge the duty imposed upon me by the constitution. Permit me, in conclusion, to express the hope that the business of the session may be promptly dispatched and that your labors may be' signalized by loftiness of purpose and patriotic devotion to the public welfare.
