The question Of high liquor license
has been undergoing vigorous agitation
in many of the leading cities OK the
Union, and tho feeling Ia general
throughout the country that the license
fee must come up. 1t 10 sort Of tidal
vave, to which there may b opposition.
bat which canno. be resisted. Chicago
has adopssd high license. and New YORK
10 preparing to follow sujt. In Omaha
the annual fee has been fIed g. 5000.
In Portland there has been raise OF
from 500 to $500. and in Walls Walla
from $500 10 $500. Goldendals bears
of the palm for high license, tae Zee
there being placed at 5000. OF course
there has been bitter opposition To tie
raise, but under the pressure 0. pubiie
feeling the opposition has IN every case
beam made to give way. The movement
IL made with 9 double purPcse-to
crsato a revenue. aud TO restrain crime.
II operates principally. il not wholly
against the keepers OF tia worst places,
the low dens where nsn ara drug
ced and robbed, where tia West CON-
hounds are dealt TO minors, and women
of the lowest characters are kept for
most depra7sd purposes. II was this
kind that made the recent fight in Port
land, and IL was against this kind that
the ordinance there enacted last week
was aimed. Tho keepers Of the better
olaa Of saloons actually made petition
for the increased li,ense. and they will
b enabled 10 give the necessary S5oo
bond. which is expected to DO more
effective in its operations against tho
low GROCERIES than the slicenss fee
itsel'. Tire experience in cities East
where high license has been tried has
been hsalthful and profitable; the rev.
snus arising therefrom being greater
than before vas derived from low
license, and the moral atmosphere be-
ing purified by the cleaning out OF the
dirtiest holes in the cities concerned
There In already talk Of increasing
liquor license fees in our own city. The
present rate Ia 800 per annum. We
would not like to REQ fight over the
matter, and We should certainly be OPP
posed to violent and prohibitory raise;
yet An increase to 800 per annum
would not be out Of the way, nor do we
believe II would DO resisted by any ex-
cspt the keepers Of those places which
shoold not under any circumstances b
tolerated day in the community.
