Tho RECORD ia entered at the Wltliomspo-
Post0Nce as second class matter.

1T is satisfaction to note that in the
recent city elections in this state the ad.
vecates of the prohib idea were turned
down without exception. First and fore
most in Importance was the severe drub.
bing given to How They Voted Winship,
the Grand Forks ex-boss, ex,barkeeper,
and extraordinary man generally. His
candidate for mayor and the balance of
the truly.good ticket were plucked, and
it is said that the defeat broke great big
chunk from the slate that the willy George
had prepared for the state campaign. 1t
would seem that the republicans of Grand
Forks are not disposed to have the state
ticket arranged beforehand by Slippery
Jud and Willy George. In Jamestown,
Grandpap Warnoek's friends were turned
down and liberal men were put on
guard. In Fargo there was no opposition
to the broad-guaged Col, Ball for mayor.

Iowa No Longer ..prsbib.v

Iowa No Longer tsProbib."
Contrary to the express commands of
the Grand Forks Herald and the James.
town Capital, the Legislature Of Iowa has
passed a: law taxing saloons, and this
without repeating the prohibition law.
The jamestown Know.it-All derided the
Times for saying that this could be done,
and will undoubtedly decide that the new
Iowa law is unconstitutional and the
members Of the legislature are guilty Of
treason but in Ohio the supreme court
has upheld similar law, and that, too,
with prohibition in the constitution.
The law is in effect as follows In all
cities Of over 5. 600 population each sa-
loon shall be taxed the amount of $500.
The payment Of this tax acts as bar to
prosecution under the prohibition law.
There is no legal reasoi why at the
coming session of our state legislature
some such law should not pass. which,
while leaving prohibition undisturbed
where 1t can be enforced, will enable 10.
calities where the law Is conceded to be
q failure in such shape that tax can be
collected and the business regulated.
Admitting for the sake of the srgu-
ment that the prohibition law can be and
is enforced in Grand Forks, Traill and
Cass, is there any good reason why the
people of those counties should insist on
trying to force the same law on Bur.
leigh, Morton and Stark, where it's only
effect is to permit the unbridled and un.
taxed sale of all kinds of liquors? Leaving
out the question Of sentiment and coming
down to cold facts, it is evident that
there are some counties where the prohi.
bition law can never be enforced by the
civil authorities Any man of common
sense who has had an opportunity to in.
yestigate the matter will admit this. The
Times hopes that our next legislature will
listen to the counsel of the practical bust.
