Thrasher, secretary of the Law and
Order league. is In favor of such a
measure and that if necessary he is
prepared to advocate it before the ju-
diciary committee to which. no doubt,
it will be. referred. The eight coun-
ty commissions of the state will lend
their combined influence to the adop-
tion. of the measure and If it meets
with opposition at all that opposition
must come in the house.
Just here the danger lies. It may
not be serious. but. nevertheless. there
is still danger. The legislature of
1901 accepted the report of the stat-
ute revision commission. believing
blindly. perhaps, In the wisdom of the
personnel of that body and almost in
its lnfalllbility. It did not down up-
on the lawmakers that a body compose
ed of such distinguished lawyers could
possibly be guilty of mistakes. and it
remains to be seen whether the num-
erous apparenh blunders of the com-
mission were really blunders or pro
meditated. well considered provisions.
it now transpires that the two com~
missioners to whose local knowledge
and Judgment were deferred the ques-
lions involving the deepest legal prolr
lems were Commissioners Henry 0.
Willie. of llanhury, and Gardiner
Greene. of Norwich. Both are cmi~
nest. in their professions, and it Is
further stated on apparently good
authority. that. before dealing with the
liquor statutes these gentlemen con»
,sulted with an eminent justice of the
Supreme Court, who advised them to
“dr e the knife in deeply.“ That they
followed the advice the mandatory
statute bears testimony. The speaker
of the house. Mr. Kenenly. Is said to
be in favor of modifying the law.
which fact may not be taken as a re-
flection upon his own judgment as a
member of the commission, but is ca-
pable of such an interpretation.
One thing is certain that the liquor
dealers are greatly exercised over the
prospect. This is apparent from the
fact that Joseph L. Barbour: of Hart-
ford. one of the leading parliamentary
lawyers of the state. has been retain-
ed to lookrafter their Interests. No one
will he found hold enough to say that
Mr. Barbour would go Into this matter
for the fun it My afford him. but
can do in the premises in view of the
fact that If ‘there Is a fight coming it
will be in the house of representatives
and not before the committee.
