The following table, from reports in the au-
ditor generals Office, shows the number OF
liquor dealers IN Michigan in 1850 and the
amount Of tax collected from them. The fig
ures are also given for 1879, for the purpose OF
comparison:
The total number OF dealers reported for
1879 was 1926, and the total amount Of tax
collected 1898 $500. For 1880 the number of
dealers, with reports from ali but two small
counties, was 1900, with s4s7 ,5es5s of tax
collected These figures show q decrease OF
500 dealers in the state in 1880 as compared
with 1879, while the tax collected was 1913, 744.-
55 greater in 1880 than In the previous year.
This decrease in dealers and increase in tax
collected is result OF the law OF 1879, which
sweled the liquor tax and crushed the life out
Of many groggeries. Wayne county alone,
contrary to her past record, shows decrease
OF 326 MISUNDERSTANDING Republican.

A correspondent in the last issue OF the Paw

sec. Al, article 4th OF the Constitution OF Mich
igan, which reads az follows ESQ he says I:
The Legislature shall not pass any act author
izing the grant Of license for the sale Of ar
dent spirits and other intoxicating liquors"
We opipe the language quoted does not mean
anything for the following reasons:
1st, Section AZ art. Of the Constitution does
not read Is stated in the Herald.
I'd, There is no see. Al art. OF the Constitu-
ton OF Michigan.
Sd, The Constitution nowhere forblds the
