SR (Spectal to The Bulletin) Hartford, May 3.—There was another rush day in the house, but the matter of chief interest was the proposed amendment to the constitution con- cerning statewlde probitiom, which come from the committee with major- ity and minority reports. The reports were made the order of the day at neon Thursday, and the text of the bill is as follows: That the foliowing be proposed as an amendment to the constitution of the state, which, when approved and adopted in the manner provided by the constitution, shail to all intents ‘and purposes become a part theraof: Section 1. From’and after the first Monday of January, A. D. 1823, the manufacturs, compounding, bartering, sale or keeping for sale of any spirit- uous, vinous, mait.or alcobolio liguors is prohibited except for sacramental, medicinal, scientific, mechenical or ari purposes. Soc. 2. The general assembly is 2u- thorized to enforce this article by 2p- propriats legislation. Resoived, That the foregolng pro- posed amendment to the constitution bs continued to the next session of the general assembly and be published with the laws passed at the present ses- sion Mr Barker of Branford, chairmen of fo be submitted to the peoble and that he personally was in favor of granting the privilege, and moved thet the ma- jority report be accepted, but that he wouid vots against it Mr Bowers of Manchester, after reading the bill, urged its passage and Claimed it gave all a square deal cven the liquor dealers wers given a chance to engage in other business ample time being supplied for the dis- position of their present business. He s2id the prohfbition question was one of the birning questions of the time. In support of the bill he cited the pop- ulation of jails that were charged to the use of intoxicating drinks. He said the state had become a dumping ground for the products of the saloon. He cited the progress of prohibition in other states and told of empty Jjails and empty aimshouses as the result. Mr. Bowers poured forth a stream of statistics in _substantiation of his claim that prohibition would be for the public good. It Is a question that con- cerns the people, and the people of Connecticut ought to be given oppor- tunitvy to decide this question. He quoted the high prices of foodstuft and attributed their rise to the manufac- ture and use of intoxicating drinks. He said statewide prohibition was sure to come and 2i the powers of hell can- rot stop it. He sald the members were not called upon to act upon the merits of the bill but to allow the constitu- ency to vote on the question. After Mr. Bowers concluded Speaier Healey announced that the ten-minute 1o would be enforced during the balance of the discussion. Mr. Smith of Plainville, the minister of the house, said the bili did not pro- vide for statewide prohibition but per- mitted the use of liquors for specified and necessary purposes. He salid alco- hol was never intended for the inside use of man. He favored giving the people opportunity to vote as to whether or not they want prohibition. In the name of all that is right and just. he asked that the matter be sub- mitfed to the people. Mr. Shaw of Redding said this is ju the kind of a question that should be submitted to the people, as it is a mighty big question. He did not use intoxicants himself but knew well its evil facts, which are being realizes] now more than ever before. It is a question the people ought to decide. Foord of Stamford sald he had known of instances where prohibition does not prohibit and told of “pocket &" in prohibition states, which ended by the “dry bone” law. liquor element has no respect for the law and are not good citizens—in Maine. He referred to a statement made by Mr. Back recently in regard to the town court of Killingly In effect that the cases of Intoxication in the court had ncreased from 150 to 400 from license to no-license, and Mr. Feord_said ingly was mo worse than Stamford, or any other place in the state. It was time to wipe out {the saloons of the state, he said. Mr. Martin of Orange said that It the question were submitted to the people of the state of Connecticut the state would go into the _prohibition ranks, as indicated in the fact that 31 of the 165 towns were for mo | He said it wae the duty of the {tors to submit the matter to the peonle 2nd that prohibition was sure to come. e told of his success in the passage of the high license law but that did not seem to lessen the use and the abuse of liquor. Prohibition is to come, for the people wio do drink are willlng fo up for the sake of the other | He said he had statistics that | i | fellows were true and in marked confrast to the unreliable figures sent out by the tlquor interests. Russta, Germany and other countries and educational {nsti- tutions everywhere favored probibition |and it was time Connecticut foll into line. Mr. Dillon of Shelton hoped the leg islature would de something great, and if the matter is submitted to the peo- ple the legislature will have done something great and noble. He said this question was debated in China 500 rears befors the coming of Christ and prohibition prevailed. He told of the terrible results of the use of jmtoxi- cants and derided the personal liberty claim as used against prohibition. He said the way to settie the question was to setile it right, and he stood ready to vote for prohibition at the polls when opportunity is given. He said the voung men, and the younz women, too, needed protection from the Demon Rum Mr. Coe of Cromwell apoke in faver of giving the people & chance to vote on_prohibition Mr. Wilcox of Stonington mov: that when the vote be taken om ihe bill that # De by yes and nay, and the motion prevailed Mr. Candee of Norwalk satd - the peopla of the state desire the right to vote on the prohibition questior, and the house ought to zive the people a chaznce. 3z Afiner of Somers spoke in advo- cacy of the adoption of the bill and #aid it was time the prohibition ques- tion was settled, and the people want- 4 to sottle it. He said 1t was s dis Srace 1o the state to sanction the saie of_intoxicating_drink. Mr. Caine of Naugstuck spoke in opposition to submitting this matter to pedple, or prohibition. He eaid option coversd the situation fully. of manufacturing _establish- ments Deing operated 24 hours end the workman there has the right to take @ drink if he so desires. Some would say No. It has been safd that personal liberty does not enter into this matter, but who dare say a man should not have the right to smoke 2 cigar or pipe, or even a cigareite? Where there is one drinker goes wrong, there are thousands who QO not. "Of course, there are evils in drinking, but the law in regard to posting prevents Injury to families through any fault on the part of the head of the house. Mr. Caine #aid he never drank intoxicants, but he did not consider he had the right to re- strict the rights of others. The manu- tacturers in Bridgeport favor drinkins | clubs, and one club bas a membership of 4,000 munition workers, but state wants to say no more drink for those Ynen who do not abuse the use of fiquor. He favored drastic liquor laws for the state, bdt not prohibition. Mr. Meyers of Bast Windsor said he never tasted of intoxicating liquors in his life, but he belisved in local optiam laws, and was of opinion that was emple for the state 3fr. Martin of Orange eaid no man could jJustify the use of ltquors for eocial purposes, and the liquor traffic is gnawing at the vitals of tge working. men and the nation. It is the lack of enforcement of state law that is dviv- ing men into the probibition ranks. He £aid 75 per cent. of the children in county hames wers there by reason of excessive drink of a parent Let us have prohibition for the young mer of the day, and to condemn the liguer eonditions as they exist roday.
