EplHnas FREE TRADER

Some writer in the Ottawa Times threatens to
raise the liquor license from $50 to 500, and
gives timely notice that it will be done July 1st.
The writer of that article has counted without
his host Careful inquiry satisfies me that neither
The business men nor a majority of the council
favor such change. On the contrary, they OPP
pose IL, and the majority will not favor it. At
present the saloon keepers furnish the city
S., 500 annualy-no small income. That gentle
man. n Lewis guess thought that raising
the amount of license would close half or more OF
the saloons Would that be the effect? There
are about so many men who will keep saloons,
either under the law or anyhow. certain
amount these men will pay; beyond lha' they
will violate the law-not that they will defy the
authorities, but they will manage to sell, and IN
the event of high license pay nothing. Which
is better-to sell as the law provides or pay moth
ing and still sell? Every possible remedy seems
10 have been devised to stop or cure this evil but
none has vet been devised since our Savior made
wine out of water that could stop the natural
propensity of man for stimulants. So then,
closing half OF the sixtythrec saloons in our city
would not stop drinking, but even might increase
il; since the man who must have snip" will
have it, and were the retail places closed instead
of one drink a day, would 20 to some wholesale
house and buy it in iugsfull. 1t strikes me that
as all the larger cities Of this state have fixed
licenses at fifty dollars, such cities as Chicago,
Peoria, Springfield, Pckin, Aurora, Elgin, Rock
ford, Belyiderc, Gaena, Ottawa, etc, have struck
their basis, and it would be unwise to change it.
