Tiio question lias been raised as to whether, in the event of State Control being carried in Xow Zealand, it will be made applicable to ‘‘No-license” as well as districts. The Act is clear upon the point. Assuming that a poll in a A'o-licenso district would he valid under the existing law, a three-fifths majority would be necessary in order to sucure either State Control or open bars under private control. Every vote cast for State Control would count in favour of that issue, which would be determined on a bare major ty in the aggregate. That is to say, if 250,000 votes were polled for State Control in the whole of the districts, and only 240,000 votes were polled for Prohibition and Continuance combined, the State Control issue would be carried. There would, however, be no liquor to control in No-liccnse districts unless the electors in those districts gave a majority of three-fifths in favour of restoration.
