OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
i g i
FOR ST. CROIX
Continued from Tribunz Feb. 3rd.
.Th Chaitrman: Gentlemen. [t iz not
my desire to inhrow bouques at myself,
but it is gratifyirg te me (0 hear mem
bers speak in the manner which they
have spuken tonight. [f vou turn to the
records of the Council you will see what
| sald when th= beer bill was up for dis
cussion. Gentlem o, what 1s applicanie
10 continental United States ils not ap
plicable here. 1 pointed out at the time
that the tax propesed on beer was going
to create a hardship, but | was looked
upon as a ‘‘chronie Kicker.”” I féel that
we should auow our old laws to remain 1n
force. lhereis nothing to show that
they are lax. [ contend, or rather my
feeling is, that we should not enact any
law at present but go by what we have
on ovr statute book. To say that they
will create drunkeness is but a
mere igment of the imagination. Gen
letmen, you would not listen (0 me when
the beer biil came up. 1 ask you o
listeén to me now and not to put any new
law in existence bu: try our oid laws for
a year ortwo, after which tine we
would be in a position to make improve
ment, if necessarv, but iy efforts to
convince you in the pastwere not of avail. .
I hope you heed this time.
