Excerpt from Time Limit and Local Option: A Re-Statement of a Licensing ControversyThe following pages make no attempt to deal with all the oints of Temperance Reform, which should be inc nded in a comprehensive handling of the subject. They omit reference to many subjects on which legislation is urgently needed and desired.It has seemed best to concentrate on a matter of central importance; for it is essential to secure in the present struggle over the Licensing question the enact ment of Local Option, to be operative immediately in the case of grants of new licenses, and in the case of existing licenses at the close of a short time-limit. It is hoped that an endeavour to present a reasoned statement of some of the arguments and facts bearing on this point may be of some use in the present discussions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
