THE HIGH LICENSE DECISION.

The Supreme Court has held the ordi-
nance of the Board of Supervisors of Butte
county to be valid, that fixes an excep-
tionally high license-$150 per quarter
upon the business relating to intoXicat-
ing liquors. The purpose of the ordinance
was secondary only in its revenue pro-
vision. The chief aim and purpose was
control and regulation. There was no con-
Cealment made of this, and the Supreme
Court distinctly passed upon it, holding
that the local authorities may license for
the purpose of regulating and controlling.
AS no limitation to the power is suggested
by the Court, it would seem that the right
may be exercised at discretion as to the
amount of the license tax, and thus very
stringent temperance measures be enforced.
The ordinance held to be constitutional
provides that even at the rate of $3.50 per
quarter, no license shall issue to any appli-
cant except upon the petition of a given
number of property within given
district and upon the applicant filing Il
bond that he will keep an orderly house.
The decision brings the whole license ques-
ton before the public again, and that it
will be discussed is undeniable. 1t will
be useless for the opponents of high license
to use other than legitimate agencies
in defending themselves. The question
has now reached stage when bOycotting,
and political influence and threats will
avail nothing, and only react upon those
who use them. The question now being
so broadly discussed-does prohibition pro-
hibit?-is beng answered quite as fire.
quently in the negative as in the atffrma-
tive; but the question, Does high license
regulate and control? is about everywhere
answered atfirmatively, and that it is a
wise policy is conceded in more than one
State and in scores of cities. In the exam
nation of the testimony upon these topics
the daily press and periodicals. the reviews
and magazines, Legislatures and convoca-
tons of citizens are now engaged, and the
public in California is manifesting con-
Germ in the evidence that is deeper and
more Widespread than the casual observer
may be aware. To the collation. of some
of these testimonies, both affirmatively and
negatively, we propose to give some space,
it being essential that the public mind
should be informed concerning this inter
csting question, which, SO far as California
is concerned, is now cleared of all legal
entanglement
