The dominion executive of the New Zealand Alliance passed a resolution urging the Government to alter the present law so as to throw upon any person charged in respect of any motor accident, and who snows any signs of having taken liquor, the onus of proving that such accident was not caused thereby. Resolutions were also passed stating that it was neither right nor politic nor justifiable in any way for the State to afford legal protection and sanction to traffic in liquor; the Legislature ought to remove all discredited and obstructive barriers to a clear expression of the people’s will. All good citizens should combine to ensure of this being done.
