CITY MUST PAY
TEN PER CENT OF LIQUOR L.
CENSES IN FULL.
The State Supreme Court Handed Down a
Decision that the City Of Aberdeen Must
Pay the Entire Amount Of the Ten Per Cent.
Liquor Licenses That Has Been Withheld for
Many Years.

In this decision the last doubt as to
the states right to enforce the collection
Of 10 per cent. of the liquor licenses paid
into town and city treasures is removed.
The question has been before the srp-eme
court before, but in the former case the
question as to the right of the state to
collect claims against which the statute
of Limitations has fully run was not raised.
Aberdeen has owed the state 10 per cent.
of the liquor licenses since 1888, the date
Of the passage Of the law. Until the last
session OF the legislature the state has
not been exempt from the workings of
the statute of limitations. In fact, the
law specific ally provided that the statute
should run against claims held by the
state. The last legislature, however,
amended the law to exempt the state
from losing the right to enforce the col.
lection Of amounts due by reason of the
expiration of the statute OF limitations,
and the amendment to the law was made
retroactive, that is, it barred the statute
OF limitations as defense in any action
brought in the interests Of the state.
The city of Aberdeen claimed that the
retroactive feature was invalid in that
it interfered with a vested right. This
contention was sustained by the lower
court and had the effect Of reducing the
amount to be collected from the city by
one.half, or "a 900.
The supreme court reverses this de-
cision, however. 1t finds the authorities
at variance as to whether or not vested
rights were created by the old law con-
corning tine statute Of limitations operat-
ing on actions brought by the state. and
the court finds it unnecessary to deal
with the question in its general sense.
1t fnds, however, that inasmuch as
municipality is subordinate municipal
ity Of the state, the legislature had the
power to say that what is morally and
equitably shall become legally due.

TRUE STORY.
History of Jun aus Attempt
 to Win Tenant

Early in the good old summer time two youths arrived in the city of ,Ju- neau. The band did not meet them play ing "The Campbells Are Coming, " They were not announced by flourish of trumpet and roll of drum. They were uuheralded and came like thieves iu the night Little did the unsuspecting people of Southeastern Alaska know what was to happen,
 The Fourth of July came, as it always does, and when the roll of players of the Juneau baseball team was called, two new names were written there in bold letters. When the unsuspecting youths of the windy city of Skagway stepped to their place in the batter's box new man was before them with the horsehide sphere grasped tightly in his hand, and a new face was en- cased in the catcher's cage. Iris true Juueau was defeated, but they died fighting
 Douglas was defeated by these strau- gers and not allowed to get a run, and then seemingly Juneau was satisfied for the Campbell brothers disappeared, melted away like the snow before the summers sun, vamoOsed, mushed, went to seek pastures new. Very few knew from where they came or where they went but they were among us and that is a painful fact to Douglas at least.- Douglas News.
