THE h0FPTTT Law.

On the 9th of April, Governor
Nichols approved the Mofett Regis
ter bill passed by the General Assem-
bly, at its last session, but the law has
not yet gone into operation, owing to
an injunction sued out against it by q
member of the Liquor Dealers As
ISOLATION of New Orleans. This asso-
citation was organized for the express
purpose OF resisting the passage aud
enforcement of this measure, and a
fund of $40, 900 is said to have been
raised to assist the accomplishment
of this object.
We are not convinced that the in
PRODUCTION of the unique register will
insure any considerable or permanent
increase of the revenue derived by the
State from the traffic in liquor, but it
can not be gainsaid that it contem-
plates system of taxation far more
equitable than that heretofore in
vogue. All retailers of liquor in less
quantities than one gallon have been
compelled to pay IN annual license
tax to the State of ss5, without re-
gard to the amount of liquor they re-
spectively disposed of. Thus the
keeper of an obscure grocery who
sells or gives away a few glasses of
Whiskey each day as an almost nee
essary adjunct Of his business, was as
heavily taxed as the proprietor of q
popular saloons whose sales in a single
week might exceed the value of those
effected by the less pretentious deal
or ina year. Should the Moffett law
be enforced, an ingenious mechanical
eontrivance viii be placed in all
stores or saloons where liquor is re-
tailed, with which every drink will
be reported according to its price. AT
least once a month the Tax Collector
of the parish will inspect the regis
tiers, and learning from the dial the
value of the sales made, will collect
the small percentage of one quarter
of one cent for every five cents worth
of liquor sold.
As might naturally be expected,
country storekeepers and liquor deal
ers are almost unanimously in favor of
the new law, because few of them do
a business of sufficient magnitude to
make the light percentage levied there
upon equal the amount of license tax
heretofore paid but the saloon keep
ers Of the cities and towns are quite
as generally inimical to the innova-
ton, which will, in most cases, in
crease their contributions, to the pub
lie treasury.
