The majority of the people with whom we have talked seem to feci that the present condition is intolerable, and that the cause of temperance can best 1<? served by education and regulation. They feel that a change is necessary and expedient after a trial di 28 years, and after such an utter failure. Some have expressed the open ion that for economic reason* ihrv prefer the pro; osed change ' our present law. and point to the fact that the revenue under the pro posed law will be an indispensable aid to the common schools of the state. It was brought to our atten tion there are now 750 Federal liquc- licenses and 3500 Federal beer licen - ! n force in Georgia today.! Georr'a is receiving no revenue from these sources.
