The house has passed a bill to
allow counties in which liquor dis
pensaries have been set up b\ lo
cal legislative acts to vote upon
the continuance or suppression of
those institutions.
The bill is a fair one and n -1
st>res to many counties the right
of self-government. These county
dispensary acts arc good examples
of the evils possible under our sys
tem of committing local legislation
the general assembly. Some da\
the people are going to become so
awfully tired of that system that
they will smash it to Hinders. And
that day cannot come too soon to
benelil the interests of intelligent
and moral local home rule.
