HIGH LICENSE.

What are the citizens Of Austin going
70 do about the license question this
spring! The city election occurs March
9th-a short four weeks from now. Shall
we continue Indifferent to this great
question: A large majority Of the PEG
pie of Austin are in favor of high license.
All that is needed is for some one to take
the initiative-to start the ball rolling.
There will be plenty of voters to keep 1t
going Austin is behind all her sister
cities IN this matter; and We hope there
will be no mere waiting. Now is the
time. This spring. Attend the caucuses,
aud nominate high license men for the va
rious Offices. Make them show their col
ors A $500 license will clean out part
of our saloons, and double the receipts Of
the city Etreasury. We have now Is
saloons, at license of $3.50 each. Sup
pose $500 license drives five of these
out of business. The eight remaining
will give US 1900, or $50 more than dou-
BILE the money the IS have given US at
the old rate. Take glance at our neigh
bors: Faribault charges $500; Rochester
$500; Albert Lea 500; Spring Valley
$500; Lyle $500 All surrounding towns
have adopted the high license system, and
are highly pleased with it. Austin must
grapple with this question. We are talk
ing about water works. Interest on
railroad bonds is coming due. A $4,000
license fund will help US out nicely.
Think of this matter. friends. and be pre-
pared to act when the time comes. Prof.
Pyle of St. Paul says high license has
three effects, viz: The reduction of the
liquor traffic to quiet obedience. the weed
ing out and consequent dimlnutisn of
drunkenness and crime, and heavy IT,
crease in public revenue, have followed
high license wherever it has been put on
trial.
