Three Separate Questions
To Face Voters on Repeal
When Georgia voters go to the
polls on May 15 to decide the
future of the prohibition or re
gulation of beer, wines, and
alcoholic beverages in the state, i
they will find on their ballots
three seperate questions await
ing answer.
One is a referendum on beer
or, as designated in the bill,
“malt beverages.”
There will be two printed lines
on the ballot on this malt bever
age question. They will read:
“For adoption beer license
act.”
“Against adoption beer license
act.”
On another bill which is con
fined solely to - ines made from
grapes, berries and fruit grown
in Georgia, the ballot reads:
‘‘For adoption Georgia pro
ducts wine act.”
“Against adoption Georgia
products wine act.”
And, on the prohibition repeal
bill itself, which repeals the state
bone dry law and lays down
regulation < —extremely drastic
— under which real hard liquor
mty be sold in Georgia, the bal
lot reads succinctly thus:
“For repeal.”
“Against repeal.”
Tho ‘C who wish to vote against
a y ..me of these three proposals
nust strike outthe lines reading
"Fer —“ Those wishing to vote
n favor of repeal, in favor o’
Georgia wins or in favor of malt
beverages, must strike out the
iincs, Against .’’lnother words,
Jr -ncs left unstricken on the
ballot expresses the desire of
the voter.
No voti r lias to vote on the
same side of the general issue on
■■U th re e bills. Thus a man might
vote for beer, for wine and
tgainst repeal. Or in any combi
tation of 1 he three.
I f the people repeal the Geor
gia prohibition law, it will leave
the c iunties under local option.
Local option t xtends to the
iounties the right to legalize or
rot to legalize spiritous liquor
by county elections.
Under provisions of the liquor
rill rassrd by the 1935 Icgisla
tore, the county election would
ne called by 15 per cent of the
qualili d voters petitioning the
ordinary in a county.
Unless an election is called
after May 15, the county will le.
main dry e en though the state’s
bone dry law is abolished in the
state wide referendum.
Summarizing provisions of the
bills, let’s look at the Georgia
vine bill first, chiefly because it
is shorter and simpler than
Hther of the others.
It is captioned as a bill to help
•he agricultural prosperity of
the state.
It provides that the man who
grows grapes, berries or other
fruit ma.y make wine from the
। products of his own vines nr
I orchard sand serve it to his family
or guests without payment of
any tax whatsoever. And the
ak'oh lie content is limited only
by that which results irom
naturM fermentation.
This same grower and maker
of wii.es may sell his product to
any Uglily designated wholesale
nr retail dealer and still have no
tax t.’pay. Or he may retail it
. ■.ini'- If by simply tiling a request
vith the ordinary of his county
who will designate a suitable
I location forhisplace of business.'
An election to prohibit the sale ‘
of wine in any county maybe
called on petition of 15 percent
of tho registered voters in the
I last previous general election. No
i election is required by the indi
vidual counties to permit the
sale of homemade wines if th a
state wide bill gets a favorable
' vote on May 15.
Finally, the bill provides that
wineries to make, store or sell ■
Georgia made wines may be
established under reasonable;
rules, to be laid down by the
commissioner of agriculture and
approved by the governor.
So m ueh for the Georgia grown
wines bill.
The beer bill provides for the
sael,in Georgia of mel beverages
with not more than 6 per cent
alcohol ccntet by volume.
It provides an excise tax of
$1.25 for each 31 golov. container,
with proportionate tax for lesser
quantities.
It provides an annual license
fee of SI,OOO for breweries, SSOO
for wholesalers and $lO for re
tailers, dated from January 1
each year aud prerated by the
month if the license is applied
before a date not later than Jan
uary 1. The license fee must be
paid for each seperate place of
business.
In addition to the state fee, the
city or county (not both) in which
the business is located can as
sess whatever license fee they
see fit.
Wholesalers or retailers selling
beer from out of state or unlic
ensed brewers or wholesalers
are required to post a $5,000
fidelity bond with the com
mission.
Os the total revenue the com
mission is allowed 3 per cent for
collection and office expenses,
with the other 97 per cent al
located to providing free text
books in the common sehoos of
i the state.
। Conflicting clauses in the bone
dry laws of 1907 and 1915 are
I specifically amended and the
same old siatutes are likewise
amended to read “Nothing in
this act shall prohibit the adver-
Jsement or solicitation of orders
for, or otherwise dealing in,
beverages made from malt, in
whole or in part, or any similar
beverages.”
Tae dealer, wholesaler or retail,
or the brewer, cannot operate
without permit from their local
authoi ities, either city or county.
Sale of beer is specifically for
bidden on school grounds or
college campuses or within 100
yards of their limits.
Tiie repeal bill proper is titled
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act.’’
It places the State Revenue
Commission in full control and
specifies that a special bureau
for the handling of all matters
pertaining to alcoholic beverages
must be set up by the com
mission.
All membersof thecommission
land employes are expressly bar
red from any direct or indrect
interest in the business, even
to the extent they must not own
or have interest in any real estate
on which the distilleries, ware
houses or places of retail busi
ness tn alcoholic beverages are |
located.
Enactment of tire repeal bill
on May 15 does not put it into
effect, but merely establishes a
local option system, by counties I
for the state.
Any conn y which desires to|
make repeal effective in its own I
confines can do so only by hold-j
mg a special election. This elec-!
lion must be called on petition
of 15 per cent of the voters in the
last preceding general election
and, after such a petition is filed,
the ordinary is required to call
the election in not more than 40
days.
Regardless of the outcome of I
i the county vote, no other election i
in the issue can be held for a !
period of two years following or j
no petition of less than 25 per ;
cent of the voters.
Retailers nay sell only in the
original, uncut packages and;
there must be no consumption!
on the pvemises, except in hotel ■
j private dining rooms, so marked ;
’ by suitable signs and to persons
^seated at tables n such private
dining rooms. Also, the hotel
I must have been in continuous !
Shall Georgia Drink?
The miilioneir brewers say yes.
The liquor dealers say yes. Some
cheap politicians say yes. The
bootleggers say yes. The ] cor
liquor addicts say yes. Some who
have listened to propaganda iiut
into newspapers by miilioneir
brewers, liquor dealers, cheap
polliticians and liquor lovers and
have not considered the cost to
the common people in money,
morals and human life say yes.
The present battle cry of the
above crowd who is organizing
and raising millions of dollars to
make Georgia and ether dry
states drink is, “Educate the
American people to drink in
moderation.” But they do not
want to develop drunkards. Oh
no. Drunkards are ugly speci
mens of humaniiy; they injure
business —the liquor business.
The idea of the liquor business
is to put a bottle on every side
board and have each member < f
the family take a daily nip.
Liquor they argue, is not a
mo>al issue, but a financial ven
ture. Hence they plan to make
rich profits by selling to the
youth and the women as well as
the men of the nation. They
boast fifteen million votes on the
wet side in the nation. They are
using the radio and newspapers
that they can buy with their
millions of dollars to advertise
their wares and slimy cause
While the dealera were hearing
this program, the Atlantic
Monthly Magazine appeared on
the news stands containing an
article showing the effect of a few
iighballs on the nerves and
muscular control of a driver of
an automobile. If there ever was
any doubt of the :act that drink
ing is the cause of the alarming
increase of automobile fatalities,
Mn, vice and shame, this article
ives the scientific experiments
which prove the case.
“Shall Giorgia drink?” This
article answers: Not if you plan
to use the country’s highways.
Not if you want to save the
youth. Not if you want to protect
little innocent children. Not if
you want to protect human
society. Not if you want line up
with those mentioned in the first
paragraph of this article.
Georgia will become a boot
leggers paradice if she should
vote wet. Any thinking man or
woman knows that if the boot
leggercan sell bis wares for $1 50
per gallon that the drinker will
; pav from four to live dollars per
j gallon, including a dollar and a
half national tax, then a state tax
and dealers profit on legal stuff.
We will decide with our ballots
which side we are on next month.
Which side are you on? We can.
