tax must and would sell intoxicants
and every dollar Of this occupation
tax that comes into the city's Golfers
is, as everybody knows, the profits
IRON the sale OF intoIicants. Thus
the city and its officers become parties
10 fagrant violations OF the law uu-
der the guise Of this occupation tax
ordinance.
we would suggest that Mr.. Neu-
bert's objections could be overcome
by a strict enforcement OF the ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale Of intoxi-
cants. 1t is said Mayor Thomson
first tried the plan Of continuous
prosecutions for ILLEGAL sales; then
dropped that and resorted to a high
occupation tax. Why not try both of
these methods at once. Keep the oc-
cupatiOn tax where it is and still 90
after e'ery jOintist who is suspect
ed Of violating the law.
Permit us TO give some facts public
ly stated at the last two council meet
ingS. As stated in the council, during
the Santa Fe depot fire, a large guam
tity Of beer and whiskey was found in
a burning car. Chief A. A. Raglan
put City Marshall c. c. Shaver in
charge of it; members of the fire COM
panieS drank of both the beer and
whiskey; finally John Tegder came
over and hauled two dray loads of it
away. Now, does anyone pretend
that G. c. Shaver as city marshall
and G. E. Elliott as city attorney,
COULD NOT, il they saw fit to do so,
convict some one for the sale Of this
and similar consignments Of intoxi-
cants? Everybody knows they could.
And il the ordinance absolutely pro-
hibiting thesale OF such goods is enforc-
ed, Mr.. Neubert's objections to the
present malt ordinance will vanish,
whether until then they are sufficient
to demand its repeal or not.

That Malt Ordinance.

Daily Mail IA.
I. Should the present ordinance Of
this city which is commonly known
as "the malt ordinance" be repealed?
Would such q repeal have tendency
to promote temperance or the en-
fOrcement OF prohibition in yelling
ton?
We presume that every prohibition
ist and temperance advocate in the
city who has not fully investigated
the subject will unhesitatingly an.
swer in the affirmative. For our part
we are not so sure about it. Hereto
fore we have urged the enforcement
Of the ordinances now in existence
rather than the making Of new ones.
The two sides Of the question Of re-
pealing the malt ordinance were very
fairly presented by Maddy and Neu-
bert respectively at last nights coun.
Gil meeting.
Mr.. Maddy explained that this
malt ordinance" is only an occupa-
tion tax ordinance. Originally ven.
ders of malt paid only ten dollars a
year occupation tax. At that time
there were strenuous efforts to close
up the malt houses. There weie
numerous prosecutions, all Of which
failed finally. Then the city authori.
ties took another tack; they raised
the occupation tax to $50 and later
on to $500 per year. This had the eff.
ect Of reducing the number or Joints
whether it bettered the character OF
those that remained or not. The
law will not permit the council to alb.
solutely prohibit the sale of malt
therefore is it not best to confne It's
sale to as few places as possible? II
these malt vendors sell intoxieants
the city has very severe ordinance
under which they can be punished
The repeal Of the malt ordinance
would simply reduce the occupation
tax of the joint keeper from $500 to
$40 per year. The effect would be a
large increase In the number of Joints,
without any elevation in their char.
acter. Such are the arguments of Mr..
Maddy and those who stand with him.
On the other hand, Mr.. Neubert
states facts which no one attempted
TO deny that the tacit understanding
and agreement between the city and
the Jointists is that in consideration
of their paying $500 occupation tax
they shall be permitted to sell intoxi-
cants without molestation. Malt,
properly speaking, is not intoxicating
and there is no good reason why one
who sells malt alone should pay any
more occupation tax than a retailer
Of lemonade or soda pop. Moreover,
everybody knows that no man can sell
enough genuine malt to enable him
to pay $500 occupation tax. But
when the city passed this ordinance,
they knew and understood that the
man who paid this $500 occupation

What the Gold Standard Does For the
WOrkfugtnan.

"What will the gold standard do for
the workingman?' asks the editor of an
alleged labor paper. The answer is easy.
1t will continue to do just what it has
been doing whenever adopted 1t will
furnish him with standard of values
which makes it certain that his wages
will not fall through decline i'll their
purchasing power. 1t will enable him
to buy more goods of all kinds than if
he received cheaper money. 1t will guar
antee him against being paid in de-
preciated or fluctuating currency. 1t
will make his deposits in the savings
bank worth as much year or five years
hence as they are now.
BY giving business stable financial
basis it will enable his employers to
run their business steadily, thus insur-
ing him against loss of work through
the unsettlement of industry, which
would exist under the silver standard.
1t will help extend our foreign trade by
keeping. our commerce on the same ba'
sis as that of the leading nations OF the
world, and thus aid in making markets
for his surplus products. 1t will serve
his best interests by encouraging the
accumulation Of capital and its invest
ment i'll productive industry and so add
ing to the demand for labor. 1t will
create a common interest between all
countries having the same standard,
and thus tend to diminish the national
iealousies and wars which in the long
run injure most the workingman 1t
will give him the standard of values
used hy all the highest wage paying
countries of the earth, instead of that
used by the Chinese, Hindoos and Mex
leans These are some of the things
which the gold standard will do for the
workingman. Will the 90 cent dollars
10 as much?
