THEY SAY WHAT'S THE USE.
Many Liquor Dealers May Not Take out
the Licenses Granted Them.

1t is quoted as an evidence of the
tightness of money that comparatively
few of those who were granted liquor
licenses on March 16 have yet paid for
the permission to sell intoXicants -ur-
ing the year beginning April /.
1t is not tightness of money that is
altogether responsible for that condi-
ton of affairs. Many Of those who were
granted licenses are seriously consider
ing whether or not they will pay for
their licenses and take them out.
Last year twenty licenses granted
were not taken out. They were nearly
all for old houses and it has been re-
peatedly stated that many of these ho-
tells and restaurants continued to do
business as If they had license.
This year no applications We're filed
by number of old houses, but it is
generally understood that the proprie-
tors of these places have no intention
of going out of business. That means
that they will try and run the gauntlet
of the law and save the money they
would have paid for a license.
There is a general feeling among
those who have been granted licenses
that it is useless for them to pay a
large sum of money into the county
treasury If their neighbors next door
can sell without permission and be not
molested. 1t will not be surprising if
the county treasurer has a large batch
of uncalled for licenses on his hands
after the time for taking them out has
expired.
