THE LICENSING BILL
MODERATES’ OPPOSITION (For Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Dominion executive of the Licensing Reform Association resolved this morning:— “ (1) That the association expresses its amazement at the iniquitous proposal contained in the Licensing Bill for (lie deletion of the third issue, thereby disfranchising a .large and rapidly-grow-ing body of thought in the Dominion, and on. behalf of moderate electors calls on Parliament to resist this violation of the principle of democracy.” “ (2) That the association expresses its regret that the proposal of corporate control has found no place in the Licensing Amendment Bill, and respectfully urges its inclusion by way of an amendment to the Bill as providing a sound and 1 practical method of controlling the licensing system in the interests of true temperance.”
