The joint liquor committee is re- ported to have virtually agreed ou! modification as the probable meas- ure to report out favorably. It cen- ters authority as now in the Board | of Liquor Control and also sets up further enforcement regulations.

There is no call for it at this time and it should never have been introduced. There is plenty of time to think of this sort of leg- islation when the rights of the laboring man are jeopardized.
