Liquor Issue Is Continued As Dominant State Will Not Get Penny of Revenue From Sales in 17 Counties Voting. lialljr Dispatch Daren*, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BV J. c. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, May 13. —Liquor still is the dominant question in North Carolina, just as it was when the legislature finally adjourned Saturday* after last minute efforts by Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus to bring about a comprom ise between the wet and dry forces in both houses failed. Some think that the liquor question is now more of an issue than it was before the Gen eral Assembly adjourned, as a result of the enactment of the local laws which will permit 17 counties and two townships in another to hold elections on whether county liquor stores and county liquor control systems shall be set up. The prevailing opinion here is that the present laws permitting these 17 1-2 counties to legalize the sale of liquor in North Carolina providing a majority of the people in these coun ties vote for the county sale and con trol plan, is much worse both for the counties involved and the State as a whole than if the General Assembly had passed the Day liquor control plan, which would have permitted all of the 100 counties to vote on wheth er they wanted to have Slate liquor stores and State control. If this plan does not work out, how. ever, and if the other 82 1-2 counties are displeased, the responsibility rests squarely upon the shoulders of the drys in the Senate who refused to compromise and thus refused to re consider the Day bill and make pos sible a Statewide referendum by counties and a Statewide liquor stores and liquor control system from which the State would derive some revenue.

PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. * ONLY DAILY Governor May Be Forced to Call General Assembly Back to Clear Liquor Problem COMMISSION WILL MAKE QUICK STUDY If 17 Counties Allowed on Liquor, Legalize It and Get Stores Opened, Revenue Will Be So Great They Won’t Want to Give Them Up. Dally Oinpnich Burma, In Ihe Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, May 13—-A special session of the eneral Assembly within 60 to 00 days to enact a Statewide liquor stores and liquor control law as a substitute for the patchwork liquor laws enacted by the session which ad journed Saturday, which permits only 17 counties and iwo townships in an other to hold elections to determine whether or not they shall establish county liquor control systems and county liquor stores, is now regarded as likely in political circles here. It is no secret that Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus does not like what the General Assembly finally did, that he made a fifty-ninth minute effort to bring about a compromise between the wets and the drys in the general as sembly just before it adjourned Sat urday and tried to persuade its mem bers to come back this week to work out some sort of Statewide plan to which both factions would agree. It is also well known that. Cale K. Bur gess, who sat in on these last-minute conferences in the governor’s office with members of the Senate and House refused to budge an inch or agree to any sort of contpromise.'with the result that the’ General Assembly left the present laws on the statute books and adjourned. But a very definite reaction to the enactment of these laws permitting only 17 1-2 of the State’s 100 counties legalize the sale of liquor has already to vote on whether or not they shall set in on the part of other counties that want the right to vote on this question but which was denied them. There is also a growing conviction among the more liberal-minded drys. as well as among the wets, that if any liquor is to be sold in North Carolina it should be under State control and regulation and from State liquor stores rather than from county liquor store under county control. For many be lieve that it will be next to impossible to keep the county stores and county control boards out of politics. There is also a growing conviction that con control boards out of politics.

INEWJALIESIS 5-To-4 to Left This Time, 5-to-4 to Right Next Has Been the Order. By CHARLES P.
