Delegate Has Liquor Plan for West Virginia Referendum
Delegate-elect J P Heacom of Cabell County announced plans to seek a referendum on repealing West Virginia prohibition, aiming to let voters decide if beer sales should be allowed if Congress amends the Walstead Act. He said he opposes a saloon return but believes majorities support giving the legislature a mandate to act. He noted taxation and potential revenue from night wine and beer could reduce state taxes, while allowing small breweries and farmers to gain markets and reduce bootlegging and other evils. Prohibition was written into the 1812 state constitution to ban malt and spirituous drinks, with exceptions for medicinal and specific purposes. The act was amended by a special session last summer to permit medicinal liquor sales.
