HOE LICENoE.
by the way, how does high license
operate In your stated"
1--WE have the best liquor law In the
Unitsd States, and Its operationslfur-
nish excellent results. The license In
cities for each saloon is 81, 200 per
year, and in the little towns $500 per
year. Omaha had 160 saloons before
the license law went into effect, and
some of them were pretty bad, too.
No. we have only ninety saloons.
With l60 saloons the revenue from
them was only SIG, 600, and with only
ninety, the revenue Is 500, 600, which
is so much for the school fund. The
law Is Of large benefit to tho body
polite of the state, In that It has cut off
all the little low ~doggeries, which
were the ones that made our troubles,
and the character Of the men who
keep saloons Is better. They are more
careful. They had to give a large bond

between them In this way, which is a
good feature of the law. We feel
good yer the failure of prohibition In
Iowa and Kansas, for our high-license
system gives us control of the liquor
traffic, and It lessons many of Its evils.
You ought to have just such q law In
your state"
