To Refund Liquor Tax,

Mr.. Sidney P. Thomas, formerly the
attorney for the District, has written to
the Commissioners informing them that
he represents 7S wholesale and retail
liquor dealers. who were engaged IN
business here in 1893, and who now
claim a refund of 90 and IS per cent
respectively, OF the license taxes they
we're required to pay during the license
year ending November I, 1895. MIR.
Thomas states that these deal sTs hled
their applications IN the fall OF IS92 Tor
the renewal of their license. In the case
OF the retail dealers this was accompan.
led with deposit OF 500 each, and in
the case Of the wholesale .alers with a
deposit OF s7s each these amounts being
the license tax on wholesale and retail
dealers, respectively, under the old law
rhe applications we're held up for some
reason and not acted upon until alter
March 3, 1893, the date of the approval
by Congress OF the act regulating the
liquor traffic now IN force.
In accordance with the judgment OF
the Police Court that the effect OF the
act Of 1898 was to revoke liquor licenses
granted under the old law, the Board Of
Com missiOners, acting at that time as
the Excise Board, notified all dealers on
May 3. 1895 that those who cared to
continue their business must fle their
applications for licenses under the new
act by May az otherwise they would be
prosecuted for selling liquor without
license The dealers thereupOu filed
their applications under the new law,
and accompanied their applications with
deposits at the rate OF Saso and 500 per
year. the amount imposed upon the
wholesale and retail dealers, respect
lively, under the new law,
Mr. Thomas declares that there was
an unjust and unfair discrimination
made which he believes is in violation
OF the constitutional provision that
taxation shall be equal and Uniform
He states that the dealers who were
fortunate enough to have their licenses
granted before March, 1895, on payment
Of tax of f7s each in the case Of whole
sale dealers. and OF SIoo each in the case
Of retail dealers, went on with their
business until the end Of the license
year, while those who were not so
amoog whom we're the clients
Of Mr.. Thomas, paid taxes at the rate OF
s2so and $500 per annum for the unex.
pired portion Of the same license year.
The question will, it is understood. be
referred to the attorney for the District
for his opinion. This Is 10 accordance
with a request made by Mr.. Thomas,
