THE BENEFITS OF HIGH LICEN Sc.

In his recent message Mayor Wallber
estimates that under the license law
enacted at the last session of the egisla-
ture. the revenue of the city will be in
creased from $4,000 to upwards Of
5000, 900, enabling the council to make
the greatly-needed increase in the police
and fire departments without imposing
any additional burden upon the tax
payers, fhis will be gain of 1920
for the public benefit directly resulting
from high license.
If any ybody belieYes that such result
will be unpopular, and meet with the
condemnation of a majority of the voters,
such person is the victim of delusion.
There will be no increase in the price of
drinks as consequence. Beer will still
retail at cents a glass, and there will be
places where two ''schooners' will be
bought over the bar readily for that sum.
Neither will the rucicund seller reduce
the size OF his glasses, or give greater
proportion of mere froth than be at pres.
ent imposes upon his customers The
beer drinker who pays taxes, when he
discovers that his beer privileges are just
as great as ever, while the citv revenue
is increased $4,000. is not the man to
condemn high license.
1t will be seen that the mayors esti-
mate is based on the assumption that
nearly as many saloons will take QUE
licenses under the new law as under the,
old In this calculation he is doubtless
correct. The city of Chattanooga, Tenn,
with only from 80 0,C00 to 10000 inhabi-
tants, has about 200 saloons, each of
which pays license Of 500. The retail
liquor business is profitable and can bear
! high tax. The license here should not
be less than $500 At that rate there
would be some decrease in the number of
drinking places. while another 100000
would go into the city treasury to enable
us to improve the streets or build addi-
tional school houses. -Milyaukee SeRti--

Eight hundred kegs of beer, in the
brewery of Jugenheimer & Co, at Wash

evening, Sheriff Laughlin to-day tele-
graphed Collector of Internal Revenue
Green, stating that he seized the beer on
search-warrant, and asked if he could
remove any portion of it. The Collector
refused to give permission, and immedi-

the department at Washington. The
reply was that the department would
send instructions by mail This means
that the Collector will take no steps at

brewers will make it a test case if posi-
