NO-LICENSE.
The following resolutions were carried at a public meeting in Wellington, addressed by Mr T. E. Taylor, M.P., on Monday night. “That this meeting congratulates Parliament upon giving the people the right to vote upon National prohibition, and, while expressing its resentment at the three-fitths majority being retained in the law, pledges itself to do all in its power to carry No-Incense in the electorates and prohibition for the whole Dominion at the poll next year. “ That this meeting protests emphatically against the retention of the three-fifths majority in our licensing legislation, as being designed to protect property at the expense of the country’s highest interests. It further pledges itself to have this unjust burden removed from the democracy, and also to have breweries withiu NoLicense areas made subject to the people’s vote, and the period after which a successful National Prohibition vote will operate reduced from lour years to two years.’’
