membcred, however that the wide dis
crepancics observed between the Federal
aud state licenses are 10 d considerable OK
tent due to the frequent transfers OF state
liquor licenses. Under state laws one such
transfer is allowable The United States
internal revenue laws allow no transfer of
LIQUOR licenses. A salOonist may transfer
his business TO another. but that other must
procure a new government license issued in
his own name and paid for. before he can
assume control of the business. Ii he is
the first purchaser since the issuing of the
state license. the vendors license may be
transferred to him, but no other transfer
of il can be made should he sell out to
third party. In such an event. the third
party must procure license from both the
state and Federal government.
Mir Harrison has written to 4 number of
county collectors notifying them that GER
tai- .samcd individuals that had procured
Federal licenses. either had no license
from the state, or nad beer
licenses. The collectors. who are NOT, as 4
rule, aware Of the precise situation in every
case. respond with alacrity 10 the sug-
geStiOns of the revenue agent. and when
they learn that u certain party is evading

ing IN that are truly surprising. The liquor
occupation tax in nine counties shows an in
crease for August of 100 to 25O per cent
One county that returned in the month of
August, 1890 $40 from the sale of liquor
licenses, returned from the same
source for last month $500. This
was of course an unusual instance, although
it is 4 county that contains no considerable
town.
As the work i'm this department of the
revenue has only fairly begun. il is not pos
sible as yet TO make u tolerable guess even
81 the final result II is certain that it Will
bring i large accession TO the revenue o.
The state. and will pour into the treasury
thousands of dollars that would otherwise
be dead loss.
The last report of the comptroller for the
wear ending May. 1909, shows that the rev
euue from the sale of liquor licenses
amounted to $41l0 900 in round numbers.
The records in the Office for the year end
ing May, 1891, show total revenue from
the same source of $50, O0U, a gain for the
year of almost 100000 coming entirely
from IN increase in the number Of those en-
gagged III the liquor traffic. These figures
will be largely augmented for the year end
ing in MAY 1892. owing to the prodding of
the state revenue agent who, will allow no
portion of the revenue from this source to
-got away as it has done in the past wears
tn total occupation taxes for the last fiscal
year amounted 10 SSjS.O00. II Is quite pro-
D2ble hat for the current year they will
reach sl,0J0O0O. During the year be-
ginning May 30, 1890, and ending May 30
1897. the state received from the sale Of
beer licenses $j540O: from retail liquor
dealers licenses 500. 30: from gallon-house
licenses S.. 500 and from wholesale liquor
dealers licenses $4,000, making the total
OF 500 900.
