Liquor law necessary, author says

Controls on liquor consumption are like controls on nuclear energy - effective - a KU research associate and author said yesterday.
Robert Bader, the researcher, said that taking controls off liquor consumption was like removing current regulations on the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant. Bader spoke at Smith Hall in an event sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies.
Bader said the drinking laws in Kansas were effective just as the nuclear laws were effective He said you should stay with policies that worked.
on nov. 4. I'm encouraging people to vote 'no' on liquor by the
booth.
In July, Bader published a book, "The History of Prohibition in Kansas." During his speech, he presented highlights of his research in a slide show.
Bader concluded from his research that prohibition and constitutional prohibition were not completely beneficial policies but had some imple-
"Our past with prohibition does not serve our present well." he said. "We don't want to bring back prohibition but bring out the strengths of our past."
Bader said the problem with liquor controls was education. People are uninformed about the proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would allow liquor by the drink in public places and about current Kansas drinking laws.
"It's scandalous the number of faculty and students on this campus who do not know the issues," he said, "and are still fighting the old, the ghosts."
Bader said current liquor controls were not prohibition laws but safety and health measures.
"The people who made prohibition laws are dead and gone." he said. "They would be surprised that people still hold on to these laws."
Bader said Kansas needed to reorient its attitudes and look to the future.
"It's time to take the scales off our eyes," he said. "We must look clearly at the benefits and the costs of public policy."
He said that the state could keep the benefits of drinking, such as the amounts and the places it was consumed, but also prevent the costs of increased alcoholism, alcohol-related deaths and cirrhosis of the liver.
