On This Day | An Old Opinion on Liquor Licenses

Licensing liquor has always been somebody’s idea of controlling a business but the result has been to create a very profitable monopoly. If it is lawful to sell liquor then anybody ought to be allowed to sell it just as anybody is allowed to sell groceries or lumber. That would do more to encourage temperance than anything we can think of because it would take the glamour out of the thing and it would take the glamour out of the places where drinks are for sale.
