DECISION CONCERNING SALOONS.
PrOprietOrs of Wet Goods
ments MmstIinE for PeiiiinnN.

Since the supreme court last Monday rem
dered its decision that none of the petitions
of consent filed under the old code, that
is before October l, 1887, are valid or of
any force, the saloon men of Council Bluffs
have been figuring on securing new petitions.
In some cities, as, for instance, Des Moines.
Waterloo, Marshalltown and Oskaloosa, the
saloons have been closed until the new pc
titions can be secured and filed, There is
no talk, however, of the saloons in this city
taking any such radical action and they will.
it is said, keep on dcing business just the
same as If the supreme court had not
banded down any decision vitality affecting
them. While the saloons will continue to
keep open the saloon men will take steps
to secure new petitions A man named
Martin called at the city clerks office yes
terday and secured the names of all the
saloons in the city for the purpose, it is
thought, OF securing a contract from the
saloon men to obtain the requisite number
OF names to the new petitions.
The law requires that these petitions OF
consent shall bear the signatures of so per
cent OF the voters at the last preceding gem
eral election prior to the time of filing.
This being the case, it will be necessary
for the saloon men to secure the names of
half of the voters who cast their ballots
at the election last November. The total
vote in this city at that election was APP
p~roximately $500 and on this basis 1900
names would be required.
In Pottawattamie county there are fifty
five saloons, which paid from July /, 1898,
to July l, 1899, s5l, 3S0.15 in taxes. OF this
number there are about thirty-fve in the
city OF Council Bluffs.
Since the supreme court has handed down
its decision the question has arisen whether.
II the saloons were operating Illegally, the
mulct tax that they have paid since the new
code went into effect would not now be re-
turnable to them. It is argued that II the
contract was illegal on one side it must
have been on the other. Should this ques-
tion be pushed to a finish and in favor OF
the saloon men IL would be a serious mat
ter for the city, as il would involve about
