1 If practical experiment was necessary to
: demonstrate the workings ot this law , wo
1 have had It No statute was ever supplied
1 , With belter facilities for us onforccuiant or
1 armed with moro excessive penalties for its
, violation , consideriug the nature of the acts
; prohibited , nnd yet with nil its terrors ,
; with every branch of the state government
H lu the hands of its friends , it hns lain limp
H und lifeless , ignored , disreEnrdad and do-
H | spiscd in most of the large cities of the state
j from the day of Its birth to the present time
Hi 3 ho friends of the law ignore the real slt-
Hl iiotton nnd nssumo too mueh Thov cyuggor-
H' nto the extent of intemperate habits among
H , our people boforn its cnuctitiont nnd equally
Hl ko the diminution of such habits since It bo-
H catno operntivu
B ; It is ineapablo of demonstrntion except
HHJl upon naked assumption that the use of in-
B toxii'ntuiL' liquors 09 a coverage in Iowa bun
diminished since the law took effect It is u
Hi patent fact known to everyone who has
H taken the pains to inform themselves that in
H many of our cities , containing as they do n
M largo fraction of our population , the only of-
B foot of the law has bocn to rullovo the traf-
flo In these liquors from legal restraint of
J every kind
BJl It Is equally notorious that in the largo
HHJ < 'ltlcs of the state whora the open saloou
M has been closed a secret trnlUo sullk'lont to
H supply all the wants of the trade has hnmo-
H diately followed
M It must bo apparent to unbiased minclsthat
m In these localities at least the uko ot intoxi-
H eating liquors ns n beverugo hns not been
H diminished by our prohibitory luw , but in-
M 6lcad thereof that it has been greatly in-
H creased , if want of legal restraint of any
H liind will produce that effect
H It is equally plain that n local option law
H Will supoly for all localities where our pro
H lubitory law Is now enforced proclsoly the
H . name protection from the ovIN of this trade
H I that they now'enjoy , wlulo it would give to
H ' localitlcs 'wbcro the present luw Is ignored a
m prncticablo method of controlling u tratllo
H that all admit should bo put uudor legal ro-
H Btriilnt of some kind
H 1 cannot ugreo with these who argue that
H lUis bettor thut this business should bo con
H ducted In violation of law than It is that it bo
H conducted In purBiianca thorcof
H Through the nid of proper legislation tlio
H character of tlio coinmodltius aisposod of.iho
H litnees of men who are permitted tc rngago
H in the business , nnd the class of persons to
H whom sales shall not bo made can nil be reg-
H ulatcd and largely controlled , while the II-
Holt trafllo is open to the vlloit of men for
the sale of the most adulterated of liquids to
every class of human beings that can bo in
I duced to buy
There Is not n largo city in the world in
which the douiand for intoxicating liquors
ta a bovcraL'o is not supplied by a legalized
_ or illicit tratllo therein , nor hns there been or
H will there bo such n city ; und wo must do-
H tei'iuino for ourselves whether this truQlo in
H our own cities Bhall be put under such prac-
H Ucable legal restraints ns is within our
H power or bu conducted outside of and in vlo-
H Intion of all law , because wo uitu to ucconi-
H vllsh moro than Is possible
H Jt is no argument in favor of this law that
H I the courts have hold It to ho constitutional ,
H ' Kot eco wrong of the British parliament or
H Kugllsh king that led our forefathers into
H open rebellion ngainst tholr govern mont , and
H jusilliod , In tholr opinion , u resort to the lust
H und Qnal arbitrament of men could have boon
H impeached in the courts of England , occauso
H It was beyond the constitutional power of
H the covornmunt to inflict it
H In my own Judgment tlio chief obstacle to
H the enforcement of this law lies in the fact
H thut lu and of Itself it is a cruel violation of
H ono of the most valued of human rights I3y
H that act Iowa stands convicted of llrst inuk-
H ing the business of the brewer and wino
H maker legul , of watching without warning
H the oxp.uislon of their business within her
H borders until millions upon millions of the
H uupitnl of her citizens had bocn invested
H therein mid then coldly wiping it out with
H out one elTort to compeusato these who were
H ruined thcroby ,
H Wo need not strive to console our con
H sciences with the belief that this property
H has Dcen turned into other aud moro useful
H channels The naked truth is that wherever
H the law has been enforced lis owners have
H boon impoverished , and if anything has been
H saved from the wreck it is the merest tnito
H of Its former vnluo
H . Ignoring at this tlmo the question ot
H whether or not the moral or material welfare
H of thu state as a whole is being advanced by
M this law , a question uDon which its friends
H nnd enemies take precisely opposite views ,
m coneedlue nil that is clultiiod for it in cor-
H tain localities ivhero It Is enforcud ana ro-
H cognizing the evils of an unrostralnod traQIu
H in intoxicating liquors where It is not en-
B forced , have wo statesman upon both sides
H of this controversy that can impartially con
H alder the necoisitv of the Bituallont
H It we have tnoy will Und a middle ground
H between the two extremes of opinion on tills
H subject Thov will leave to every locality
B that desires it the present prohibitory law or
M its equivalent They will force It upon no
H city or town where publlo sentiment rejects
m lu They will reoognizo the Belf-ovident
B truth thut a law which Is entirely cQlciont
H ' for the control of this truftic in the rural
H CUtricts of thn state is wholly Inadequate for
H that purpose In the great cities
H They will cunoedo the right of solf-govern-
B mont to citizens copublo ot deciding tor
tbemsolvos what Is bettor for their own lo-
M c&litles , und to deny to people in ono section
1 of the state the power to dotoruuno wuat
B regulations shull coutrol these ot another , in
whujoatlalrs thvy have no rightful interest ,
H nnd with whoso tilrouiuitnuoeti and needs
H they are necessarily unacquamtod ,
H They will look beyond mere questions of
H sentiment Into the realms of practical busU
H uoss lite , and observe the naked truth that u
H rast majority of the inhabitants of the civ-
| ' ilixed world are opposed to prohibitory laws
E vpon principles that f urnlab no Justltfcution
H for the lutoioparato use of ulcobollo stlinu-
B lants
H They will realize that states to bo prosper
H eus must bo governed by laws In accord
with the judgment ot the masses of men und
not bv those wbo are opposed < hereto
Hut , beyond all theories , luoro it to my
Blind a more weighty reason still for a radl
cai chaugo in our prohibitory laws , i ho
electors ot the state , under circumstance
H that learo uo room for doubt as to their
meaning , have expressed their wishes 10
H this respect ,
It u Lupossiblo to read the platforms pf
H
the rospoctlvo parties , the lottcrs of itccsp-
tanco of tholr candidates for governor , and
remember the discussions that followed ,
without reaching thn conclusion thnt no
political Issue was nvcr moro thoroughly
discussed or better undr-rstood by the
masses than thnt rolntlnc to this question In
the campaign which preceded our last elcc
tion
tion.To
To shut our eyes to this glaring truth Is
nothing less than a dnnlnl ot ordlunry Intel
ligence on the part of these who cast their
ballots on thnt occasion ,
I nm the keeper of no min's conscience ex
cept my own Others may bolicvo they have
a higher duty to perform tn this matter than
any they ewe the mujorilv whosolclcarly ex
pressed will they nro willing to Ignore
They should not , however , mlsload thom
solvcs Into the belief that trio people of
Joiva have not through the only medium
known to our institutions for setting politi
cal Issues passed Judgment on this
Nor do 1 wnnt the scope or effect of this
Judgment misunderstood Tho.v hnvo tint
undortnlion to iloprlvo anv locality in the
stuta where public sentiment upholds it ot
our present prohibitory law or It equivalent
They luivo simply declared that each city ,
town nnd township shall have the right to
detcrmtuo tor itself whether It shall oo
governed by prohibitory laws or by a care
fully guarded license law , the minimum fee
for which shall bo > 0U , to bo paid Into the
county treasury , with power In the munici
palities to lncroaso this fee tor their own
benefit These who bollovu In this decision ,
nnd bcllovo it their duty to rcspoct it
cannot rightfully depart from thu
letter of that decision as It wan
made Tna license law , if any ,
which Is to supersede prohibition must bo till
that has bnen promised Wo cannot nmua
the fco lcs3 , or provide for ono fee for the
sale of ono ldnd of nlcoholia stimulants nnd
another for others , wlthuut departing from
the only plan which has received the ap
proval of n majority of the people of the
state
state.Wo nro bound in honor to furnish for lo
calities adopting it a most carefully guarded
license law
The greatest of euro should bo exercised
to take the trafllo out of the hands ot Im
moral and irresponsible bands Every safe
L'liard possible should bo tin-own around
these who are In this respect legitimate
subjects of legal control A will
ful sale to a minor or drunkard Bhould bo
causa for revoking a license Proprietors
should bo required togfurnlsh In some form
adequate security for the payment of nil
Judgments , either cnmlnnl or civil , that maybe
bo obtained against them for any net done
in the line of their business
Drunkenness should bo punlshod as a
crime , und the habitual drunkard should betaken
taken In charge by the state , tried by a com
mission , nnd if found guiltv sent to an
asylum and kept there until cured Ho has
no mora right to bo at largo than the lunntic ,
for he is such when Intoxicated , nnd when it
is mudo known to htm that ho Is to bo treated
uy the law as ho should bo , nnd not by a
vitiated publlo sentiment as ho never ought
to be , there will bo fewer lomes wrecked by
dissoluta men thnn now
What Iowa needs is practical legislation on
this subject , legislation that is broad enough
to meet the vlows of moro than a single
class ; that is liberal enough to command the
respect af all her people ; that is generous
enough to Invite to her borders every class
or respeclablu parsons ; that is just enough to
protect the person and property of every ono
of her clti7ens , and wise enough to exercise
a practical control over a tr.illlo that today is
unrestrained in most of her centers of popu
lation
Ho who strives for this is not the foe of
temperance , but is the friend ot a state too
grnad in Us natural advantages ; too broad
in the diversity or its Interests ; too widely
at variance in the education , In bits and cus
toms of Us people to bo appropri itod by any
single class or sect
liofernnsr to taxation the governor said
thousands of people owned property in the
state which they did not pay taxes on , and
thousands paid tiivcs who did not own prop
erty Ho favored equati7ntion of the
publlo burdens by legislation The
enactment of nny system of taxa
tion which took from on > class to
give to another was an unequal nnd Impar
tial distribution of the public burdens nnd
should bo abolished "If true to herself , "
said the governor in conclusion ; "if liberal
in her statutory enactments and Just in thuir
application , not a state in this union has a
brighter future , it she falls short , ot that
for which nature designed her , the blame of
it will riichtfullv descaod upon these who
make and administer bet * taws "
