and in this way avoided the license.
He believed that the grocers should
have an opportunity of sharing in the
profits of the sale of it.
Mr.. PasSmore, in answer to Judge
Speer's remarks in regard to liquor Ii
censes. said that the liquor dealers pay
more than the grocers, for the reason
that the expense of the courts in pre-
serving the peace arose chiefly from
the sale of liquor and the liquor deal
ers paid practically no tax on their
stocks.
P. ]. Brophy spoke Of the liquor Ii
cense law now on the statute books,
and said that the sale of liquor by the
grocers was not to be compared with
the sale by the saloons: that 10 crime
arose from the sale of liquors by the
grocers. and nobody laid around drunk
as the result of it. AS to the license
paid by the saloons, it was TIE only
| contribution made by them for the eX-
pense they caused to the public at large.
| He favored high license as d means
to rid the community of the cheap dives
and pitfalls. where the worst kind of
| liquor was sold.
d. NJ. Newbro said that mistaken
| impression prevailed in regard to the
, amount of liquor sold by the druggists.
The Liquor Dealers association had
| caused the arrest of the druggists for
the sale of liquor, and affidaVits secured
from all the druggists showed that the
total amount of liquor purchased by
| Il druggists in Il months amounted tc
| $50 gallons. Upon this showing the
cases against the druggists had beer

DISCUSSING THE
'''''''' license QUESTION
THE BUSINESS MEN OF BUTTE BELIEVE SEVERAL FEATURES OF
THE LAW NEED REM0DEL LING AN INTERESTING
DISCUSSION.

The license question was discussed at
length at the meeting of the Business
Mems association last night, put no
definite action was taken.
1t was stated that the liquor dealers
We're engaged in the preparation of a
(in for consideration by the legsa-
ture which would eGualZe the liquor
tax between the liquor dealers and the
grocerymen. This is a question that is
now before the courts. the srocers
claiming that the law is unconstitu-
1onal If it is defeated in the courts
the question of raising revenue becomes
a serious one.
After the matter had been thoroughly
discussed it was decided to invite all
grocerymen Who are interested, to meet
with the association tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. A similar invitation will
be extended to the liquor dealers in a
few days.
Judge Speer. at the request Of Chair
man Passnore. made a statement to
the committee. He said that several
features of the license law needed re-
modelling particularly that portion re-
lating to the collection Of the tax. The
general law he said. affects wholesale
dealers and manufacturers. and the
committee believed that an endeaVor
should be made to relieve such people
from license. and that wholesale or
manufacturing enterprises should be
encouraged as these people also pay
heavy taxes and their Industries tend
to build up the state and keep money
at home.
Judge Speer stated that he fond that
. the local saloons pay from s1ls,0o0 to
$4,000 per year in licenses, While the
grocers pay a total liquor license Of
about $4,000. The srocers were con-
testing the payment of this license, and
If they We're successful in their case
the question of raising revenue would
be serious one as the liquor dealers
would also have no license to pay.
The saloon men, he said We're busy

were doing nothing. He believed thai
it would be a good idea for the saloor
men and the grocers to get together

agreement that would be satisfactory tt

ROCKEFELLER'S RAILROAD.

New York, Jan. 22.-The Journal Of
Commerce says:
1t was learned last evening on good
authority that 10000 shares of Missouri
Pacific stock have just been transferred
on the books of the company to the
names of the Rockefellers. This is sig
nificant as showing in the first place,
the business intimacy which has de-
veloped between the Rockefellers and
Gould interests and is undoubtedly the
reflection of transactions responsible for
the advance in the price of the stocks,
which yesterday touched 90A, certainly

rent was plan is receiving serious con-
sideration for an exchange of one share
of the Missouri Pacific for four shares
of Texas Pacific. A considera BILE part OF
the Texas Pacific stock is already held
by Missouri Pacific interests and such
an exchange would amount virtually to
an absorption of the Texas Pacific road.

New York. Jan. o2.-The properties to

out to the stockholders as a. result of the
proposed increase of the capital stock of
the company to 100000 900, are as fol-

also valuable leases and contracts run
ming term of years in the United
States, Mexico and South America
These include the refining and smelt-
ing plants, appurteuant properties and
business of the Guggenheims.
1t is understood that the total cash or
working capital payment to be made by
the Guggenheims is nearly $4,000 900
making the cash resources of the Amer
lean company about $4,000, 900 This
will probably obviate the necessity of
