The South Carolina Commission and the Creation of Saskatchewan’s Liquor Dispensary, 1915
ABSTRACT In 1915, responding to significant prohibitionist agitation, the provincial government of Saskatchewan abolished private liquor sales and replaced them with a system of government-run dispensaries. Prior to Saskatchewan’s adoption of a state liquor dispensary system, the model had been tried only once on such a scale in North America, in South Carolina, which abandoned it in 1907. Drawing on the details of Saskatchewan’s commission that investigated the South Carolina system, this article argues that the adaptations made to the system in Saskatchewan were due to a combination of political expediency and a widespread belief in the civilizing power of whiteness and Canadian educational and legal institutions.
