that the Enterprise has been

reputation of one of Fitzgerald s

STATE LIQUOR LICENSE.

The Comptroller-General hasn
issued the following Instructions
to 1877 tax collectors in the state
Dear Sir: I inclose herewith
a list of the names of persons
and firms in your county, who, II
am informed, have engaged IN
the sale of liquor and who ap-1
pear not to have paid their tax
for this year. The informationa
upon which this letter is based
is conclusive that the parties
whose names / have Furnished
you herewith have engaged in tn
sale of liquor in your county a
stated.
You will, therefore, imme
lately call on these parties an
collect the state tax of 5000 asN
sessed on wholesale and retak
dealers in spirituous or malt u
quors, ETC., by the laws of fais
state. The fact that the sale of
liquor may be prohibited in your
county does not relieve any per-
son who may have engaged in it's
sale in violation of the law from
the payment of the state tax, nor
does the payment of said tax re-
1ieve any dealer from the penal
ties of any local or prohibitory
law with reference to its sale in
your county.
please give this matter
prompt attention. Respectfully,
WILLIAM A. WRIGHT,
Comptroller General. !"
The Comptroller General first
took the precaution to get the
opinion from the Attorney Gen
era1 and it appears now that
many dealers who have hereto
fore escaped this tax, will of ne
cessity contribute 5000 each to
the state treasury.
It is claimed that there are 700
or more of these dealers in the
state which means $14O, 900 to 60
into the state treasury and for
1902 taxes, or past dues.

In another column will be found
the notice Of Sheriff D. A. McIn-

per published at the county site,
organized and esta blished with
that purpose in view.
Under the law the sheriff is re-
quired to use the paper published
at the county site,if there be one,
as medium for his advertising,
therefore the Enterprise is not
eligible as long as there are any
so hard pressed for employment
as to undertake the publication
OF paper where the compensa.
ton will necessarily be so limit
ed. The Enterprise can very
we'll afford to lose the legal
county patronage for a season
and meet it's weekly pay roll.
It's subscrip ton list and ad.
vcrtising patronage has reached
that stage where such trivial
matters have little effect on its
monthly business.
The large number of readers
of the Enterprise in the county
will however, lose the advantage
of having the official notices al
hand every week without the ex-
pense of an additional dollar per
annum.
