What the Taxpayers Would Like to
Know.

The statement of Alderman O'Connor
at the meeting of the Council w ednesdav
night that nearly one-lilth of all the retail
liquor dealers within the CITY limits paid
no license for the present year is calcula-
ted to arrest attention. What the tax
payers would like to know, and what tie
retail liquor dealers who have paid their
license would like to know, is why tail
liquor dealers are permitted to continue
business il they have not paid their
license. Who is responsible for this con-
dition Of affairs? Is not the Council pri-
marlly responsible? If the officers whose
duty it is to see that the liquor license tax
is paid fail 10 discharge their duty why
doesn't the Council take notice of the
matter and insist upon a faithful execu-
ton of the lawf
According to Alderman OConnor's fig
ures there is more than $1,000 due the
city from retail liquor dealers, and the
presumption is, from the Alderman's
statement, that this sum will never be
collected. 1t is quite an item, and would
more than pay the city's share of the pro-
posed pavement on Broughton street.
IL will be argued, of course, that if one
9th of the liquor dealers can get rid of
paying their license, and yet continue
their business, others can do the same
thing, and the result will be that finally
it will be impossible to collect any Of
these licenses at all. Alderman O'Con-
nor in stating that "a OF the retail liquor
dealers had not paid their license Virtu-
all foaaaH fhaf ha haI
fully discharged the responsibility which
rests upon it. If there are officers who
don't do their duty and can't be induced
to do it there ought not to be any delay in
arking them TO resign.

The planters of several counties IN Ala
bama are said to be in such financial dis
tress that they are appealing to the Leg
islature to relieve them hy the unconsti-
tutional, but sometimes temporarily
effective, expedIent of a stay law. They
say their condition is due to the short cot
ton crop and the extremely low price OF
the staple, and they assert that if their
property is sold at forced sale it will
bring very little, and that while their
debts will remain unpaid they will be
ruined and their families and dependents
reduced to the verge o: starvation. They
seem to be in a piusble condition. An
their misfortunes come from the miser-
able credit system that has been the
cause Of the ruin of so many thousands of
southern planters and business men.

turers deny that they sell their products

the deception Of the public which has

ers in nearly every part of the country,
