M l n confined to government stores. - Three questions could properly be asked on the ballot under the preferential voting system which will be applied to candidates for the Legislature. The first option would be the open bar, 'on the Ontario model ; the second the sale of beer and wine with meals ; the third the continuation of the existing law. The beneficiaries of the existing law naturally will wish to see the ballot framed in extreme terms, without any possibility of compromise. Neither the plebiscite nor any other experiment in human history offers a solution of the age-old problem of drink. The objective of a necessarily imperfect liquor policy should be to discourage the sale of intoxicants which is now excessive and is doing great damage, economic and human. The real question which the thoughtful voter has to consider is which system is most likely " to promote .temperance. The huge and rising sale of liquor in British Columbia today does not suggest that the present system is promoting temperance. It is for the voters to decide whether any other system would do better. They should have the chance of voicing a free opinion. They should not be given a loaded ballot. ff I. t.tirwvanr. 'i mjfr. 1..ti(, .-.
