Views Of Our Readers dEditor, The Chronicle: I would like to raise a cau tion flag for consideration in any decision the voting public may make. All the talk about the need to improve the liquor laws of South Carolina sounds more like a campaign for more liquor than for dealing with the entire problem of public welfare. The organ ized advertising agencies of beverage alcohol could do their clients no better jobs than our General Assembly, various Chambers of Corp-, merce, and the court orders against law enforcement have done to advance liquor in terest. The claim that elected pub lic officials can better deal with our problem than con stitutional law is a self-tooted horn. This is an open invita tion for a more powerful lobby pro and con on the li quor situation. The record of the General Assembly does not justify an expectation of disregard for lobby influence. For what seems to be fav ors to special interest groups, we cannot get legislative con trol of the small loan business, we cannot get significant im provement in highway safety laws, school attendance laws, and a greatly needed new con stitution. If the Assembly will not deal with present need, and do pass special favor laws like the voting laws, why should we feel they will do better on liquor control laws? There are fine and noble men in our Assembly, but they are rarely able to rise from the minority role when special interest is opposing legislation. A General As sembly open control of liquor laws will create a problem for good men, and a perpetual devisive issue publicly. -T I suggest two alternatives: One, put beverage alcohol under banishment control like we have other harmful drugs and dope. With proper laws and enforcement, like opium and heroin, beverage alcohol can be controlled. Two, if we must hhve the tax revenue, let us go all the way and have the fabulous profit also. Let the State ^handle all distribu tion with deputized officers in the places selected for sales. The sales agency could pro vide the space at nominal rent, and the state could handle wholesale and retail sale to the public. When the profit motive is removed, the campaign to at tract more and younger drinkers will be reduced; and with such, a basic step toward control will be taken. Any business surrounded by wel fare debate and question, and with the degree of attributable harm as has beverage alcohol, could be controlled without the least encroachment on other free enterprise. Let us have no change that does not spell out what the public can expect. Let us be warned by history and fact that this Committee Intent IS NOT law nor is it binding upon the Assembly. It is pure propaganda. OFFICE SUPPLIES CHRONICLE PUB. CO. PHONE 833-0541 God forbid that we step into a trap covered by good inten tions and obvious need. We do not need to move from a poor law to perpetual confu sion and lobby pressure. Let the good intention be spelled out and submitted for public decision. Blank checks signed by the public is not the right thing. Let the nobility of purpose step up and say what is to be expected, and when approved let it be constitu tional. Horace F.
