T. G. Mcconnell, deputy collector OF
internal revenue, who was in the city
this week, tells the LIBERAL that
under the recent ruling of the depart
ment the few drug stores in the ter
ritory that had not taken out a retail
liquor dealers license ia the past were
now taken them out, because they
sold the patent medicines which con
tanned alcohol, and so were retail Ii
Quor dealers. In answer to the ques'
tion he said that he did not think that
any OF these stores had a territorial
liquor dealers license. The territorial
and the federal laws are similar il
that they require all retail liquor deal
ers to take out a license. II a person
takes out a government license be
should also take out a territorial Ii
cense- II the district attorney would
look these cases up instead Of devot
ing his time to miners and postmaster
who may work on Sundays he would
do more towards swelling the schoo
fund that he is now accomplishing.
