LIQUOR HAS TUMBLED.
whisky and Beer Cost Only Half as
Much MS Formerly, Thanks
to Leedy,

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 2t.-fSpecial.) Gov
ernor Leedy's administration of police af-
fairs has done one noticeable thing. 1t has
brought down the price of liquor in Topeka.
For several years here, when joints were
almost a minus quantity, the drug stores
formed a trust on liquors. A thirsty citi-
zen from Wichita, L~eavenworth or any 9TH
er seaport was compelled to pay s1-50 a pint
for whisky hat cost the druggists S1-50 a
gallon. He was forced to pay 81 for three
bottles of beer (Kansas brand at that
which cost the druggists Z cents a bottle.
He could not buy less than a pint of whisky
nor less than three bottles of beer. These
prices were scaled down somewhat under
the Lewelling administration. Beer could
be bought under that for q cents a bottle
and whisky dropped to 81 a pint. These
prices held up until Governor Leedy took
charge. Realizing at once the eXtortionate
prices charged for liquor, he decided TO do
something TO break up the trust. He had
read that competition was the
life of trade. so 1t struck him that the
proper way TO bust the trust" was to en-
courage some infant liquor industries. Or
ders 10 that effect were delivered to his
police board. -
Let 'er go wet was the Injunction.
1t has been going wet ever since and is
getting wctter every day. Joints are flour
ishing like gree bay trees. TwoSc carloads
OF new bar fixtures are now being dis
rapidly. The rush for places has been so
great that one iointist now occupies Il
building across the front of which IS
stretched a sign which reads:
Kansas City journal. [volume] (Kansas City, Mo.) 1897-1928, 1898-02-22
REPUBLICAN
HEADQUARTERS.

In Justice 10 the Republicans it NAV he
said that this sign was put up last fall dur
ing the campaign and they felt so jubiIant
over the way Kansas went that they never
thought about taking in their sign. and tho
lointist has either been SO busy behind the
bar that he could not find time to take it
down,or else he proposes to leave it up as
a blind.
But Leedy has won his point. Overpro-
duction has, caused a tumble in prices.
Fifty cents now buys a pint of the Standard
Kansas quality of whisky-the squirrel
~brand-which formerly sold for 81 and $l.5O
The retail price for n single drink has
dwindled down TO 10 cents in most of the
places The special Kansas brand of beer
has dropped 10 Is cents a bottle. In sew
eral places they sell three drinks of whisky
or six glasses of beer for a quarter. Com
petition got SO lively tne other day be-
tween two ~jointists whose places are Just
across the alley from each other that beer
quoted at ) cents a drink for a couple of
hours. And the size OF the drink was not
limited either. The b~artenders Claimed a
man could have three fingers in the bot
tom of ii washtub II he could down IL. But
this particular war was of short duration.
The other ~jointists acted as strikers. The
argument used was that with such cheap
prices they could not make over 200 per
cent profit and that the old schedule of six
for-a-quarter beer and 10-cent whisky was
cheap enough.
The ~jointists have thus enabled Leedy TO
carry out his plan TO break up at least
one trust-the Topeka drug store whisky
trust

JUDGMENT TAXATION TEST.

JnDaid Taxes.

From Selling Judgments for
Unpaid Taxes.
Fort Scott, Kas, Feb. 2~L-(Special) Judge
SinIcns, of the district court, to-day, in
chambers. granted three temporary i%njunc-
tons restraining the sheriff of Bourbon
county from selling judgments, plaintiffs
claiming that the act of 1897 relating to the
taxation of judgments is unconstitutional.
Ia one case seventy-two large wholesale
houses situated in different portions of the
county are joint plaintiffs. and the other
two applications We're made by local banks.
Several hundred judgments were sold here
for taxes to-day.
Topeka, Kas.,. Feb. 21.-(Special.) The
various township and city assessors OIL
Kansas will begin the assessment of judg-
ments this spring under a law passed at
the last session of the legislature. On ac-
count of this innovation, the attorney gen.
eral is being flooded with letters asking for
Information on the subject. He has ruled
that judgments are personal property, and
that assessors must fix their real value for
taxation purposes, regardless Of their face
value. He also holds that they must dig
VI the judgments out of the records them
selves. as there is no provision for the pay
ment of district clerks for furnishing as
SCISSORS a certificate copy of judgments.
