Saloons, Prohibition and Town Governance Debate
The piece argues that enforcement of saloon laws is hindered by a council allied with the liquor trade. It cites Illinois towns under prohibition with licenses, notes two towns outlawing liquor for 30 years with thriving Building & Loan associations, and claims saloon revenue funds late hours and gambling. It stresses calls for abolition by executive committees and questions strict enforcement by councils tied to saloon interests.
