QUESTION: "SHALL SEATTLE

Two Communications Sent to the Star and Published FIR

Rev. W. D. Simonds Says:
Increase the License"
Gives His Reasons

Editor Seattle Star: wish 1rst

heiiy opposed TO the saloon busi-
ness. under whatever system con
Quoted. believe the next step rcla-
tive to the liquor trafric 10 be a ays-
tenn OF state control. similar 10 that
now In operation In Norway and
Sweden. and IN our own country I'm
South Carolina.
But the question now before the
people OF Seattle lies between a sys-
TEN known as low license and that
now In effect In most OF our large
cities. known as hiRh license. A. be-
tween these systems. favor high
license FOR the following reasons.
Why II IL Desirable
First. high license tends to lessen
the number Of saloons and to destroy
the low GROCERIES and dives The
saloon business can be made profit
able under a high license, only where
men regularly oongregate in large
""hiabti8s Az WoAiA AHfAtipfe re-
move the saloons from most of our
residence districts and from our pub
llc parks.
Second. High license tends TO con-
centrate the business In the hands
OF men who have every reason To
conduct II In the way OF minimizing
the evils Of the traffic. II goes with
out saying that less crime is assoc
ciated with a saloon OF the better
class than with the unspeakably low
dives below the line.
Third. Under high license the
saloon business IL more easily con-
trolled It's serious thing for a
man 10 forfeit q thousand dollar
license. II becomes his interest "a
conduct his business with due regard
to the requirements Of the law.
For these reasons | believe that
the best interests OF our city demand
the adoption OF the high license
amendment and trust that all good
citizens. whatever their abstract
Views may be upon the question, VIII
unite IN doing the only thing possl-
bic at present, namely 10 lessen the
evils Of the traffic by lcssening the
number Of saloons. by somewhat inn
proving their character and by re-
strlctinR them 10 the business dis
trict. All Of which. believe. win be
accomplished under the proposed
high license.
