Major Tyler opposed old-age pension proposal, howbecause. as he truthfully said, control of liquor is a social experiment the revenue received secondary." The Gazette then made this com- "Many states, instead of turning liquor incomes into 'Major general revenue as Tyler would have Virginia continue to do. at once dedicated it to purposes having a strong popular oppeal.

He realizes that after experience. Virginia may find it give up its state-owned stores for some other system or even entirely banish legal liquor once more. But if old age pensions. schools or charitable institutions had. been made dependent on liquor revenue the cry would then be: Don't deprive the.

schools, or the old- age pensioners, or the inmates of the state hospital, of money vital for their support and care." The Gazette editorial is based squarely 011 the report of the John D. Rockefeller, liquor. survey which was completed in 1933 and was published scrially by The Star that fall. The Rockeffer report, denounced statutory prohibition advocated trial of a state dispensary plan--pub-owned package stores, one to 3 town. The Rockefeller report urged that liquor taxation be used to control and restrict the traffic, rather than as a large producer of public revenue.

Other states heeded this sound advice. Arkansas did not. The Star will show beyond reasonable doubt in the approuching Hempstead county referendum that the prohibition forces of the state passed up a public dis. pensary plan in the 1935 legislature in order to continue statutory prohibition by county elections. Governor Futrell recommended a state dispensary plan to the legislature last spring.
