SPOKANE KNOWS LITTLE
OF THE LICENSE SYSTEM
poler Dagge Tells of His Trip Seattle and What He Learned
By Comparison

City Comptroller Floyd L. Daggett
has just returned from Seattle, where
he made thorough investigation Of
the system of municipal licenses in
vogue-an investigation that when it
is reported to the license committee
of the city council is likely to create a
sensation, and result in the passage of
new license laws that are likely to re-
suit in thousands of dollars additional
revenues to the Golfers of this city.
Mr.. Daggett found that on the whole
the license fees in the city of Seattle
are more than twice as high as they
are in Spokane, and fully third more
callings and professions are required to
pay license.
Said the comptroller this morning,
when asked if it was true that he
had been asked to make such an in
vestigation and report;
MY investigations and comparisons
n license conditions made with the
old of the comptroller of Seattle show
ed that we are far behind in charges.

go before Congress with any such prop

for a franchise to cross the city The
holders OF the other franchises were OF
the opinion that the men who are be-
hind the scheme are those who have OBJ
tanned the big blanket right of way to
cross the State Of Virginia from the
Potomac to the North Carolina line
This scheme is backed by New York
capitalists, and il is said. the EllSins and
