MERCHANTS MEET.
SUPPORT COUNCILS ACTION ON
THE PROPOSED CRUSADE"
Resolutions Adopted Declaring That
Abilene Can Run Its Affairs With
) out Outside Interference or Advice.

The city council had a speola
meeting Friday night to discuss cit.
revenues. 1t evident that unless tn
regular fines from the joints continue
as they have for many years there
must be reduction in city expenses
and the council considered the adyis
ability Of shutting off the street lights
and curtailing other improvements
The council is unwilling to impose
an occupation tax unless absolutely
necessary. To get the sentiment Of
the community a meeting OF ousi'
ness men was called by the council
for 10 a. m. today and about Is mer'
chants and professional men repre-
senting nearly every firm in the city
met at the Commercial club rooms.
A general discussion took place, the
\ sentiment being unanimously ex-
pressed that the manner in which
kAbilene has been controlling the
biouor traffic for several years by reg
alar fines is preferable to bootleg
eing, litigation, "blind tigers and
no revenue to the city.
By a rising vote the following reso-
utions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we the businessmen
bf Abilene believe that this city is
hble to conduct its affairs without the
dvice or interference Of Topeka or OF
ny one outside, they having plenty
% do at home if they are SO Jealous
rs reformers.
Resolved, That we consider an OCT
cupation tax the most obnoxious 0.
revenue measures and that as be-
tween Bookkeeping, expensive litiga-
ton, an occupation tax or no street
lights, and a return to the conditions
! Of a few years ago on one hand and
the regulation Of liquor selling, a
suitable revenue ~ the city and the
troll Of the business on tho other
weuuYaalifedly prefer the latter.
Resolved, That we request Topeka
to mind its own business and allow
Abilene to conduct its own affairs and
that il Topeka is SO oflicious in inter-
ference with outside cities and coun-
ties those cities and counties OF the
state and their representatives in the
Legislature should oppose any appro-
priations or assistance toward an ex-
positio. !, Topeka but should seek
to local be same nearer the center
Of the ) tie.
H. G. Fraser of Ottawa who is here
for the State Temperance Union with
headquarters at Topeka was called
before the meeting and was told Of the
feeling Of the businessmen Of the city
hat they did not need any assistance
running the town.
He replied with plea that all state
VS. ought to be enforced and declar-
ing that If everybody wanted the pro-
hibitory law enforced it would be-
which would also apply to Topeka,
Wichita, Atchison, Junction City and
Leavenworth.
The meeting then adjourned.
