candidate for Senator who was defeated last fail by
Mr.. Coggeshall.
Mr. Miller went up to the Capitol and had long
talk with the Governor about the Rsines Liquor
Tax bill. He afterward said that instead OF the
ale and beer license being lowered ought to be In
creased There ought not to be any opportunity for
liquor dealer to take out lowpriced ale and beer
license and sell all kinds Of liquor under It, Judging
from Mr. Millers talk he would have the State tax
largely increased all kinds Of liquor. and make
the Raines bill distinctly high-license measure
When the Raines bill comes up In the Senate for
final action on Tuesday Senator Cantor. on behalf Of
the minority, will offer amendments providing for a
maltquor and lightly wine license at half the hard
liquor license fee, and that none OF the revenues
shall go to the State Senator Guy Will propose as
an amendment that the sixty confidential agents ap-
pointed under the bill shall each be resident OF the
locality for which he is appointed. These amend
ments will be offered with a view to putting the
position Of the minority record.
