The License Question.

The Saturday issue of the Lake
Charles Press gives concises and
practice statement of the license ques-
ton which we reprint for the benefit
of those of our readers who are at a
loss to know where to find themselves
on the question OF license
The argument for high license is not
based on sentiment. 1t is plain bust
ness proposition. 1t does not neces-
Sarily involve even ethical consider
ations. 1t is simple question OF
dollars and cents. 1t is II question of
getting the maximum snet revenue
NET revenue, not GROSS revenue-Out
of the liquor business. Every prac.
tical aspect of the case faces inlthis di-
rection.
Increase of the liquor license will
unquestionably decrease the number
of saloons. 1t may even decrease the
amount of gross revenue derived from
this source, but will it decrease the
amount of net revenue? If twenty-five
per cent of the saloons now operating
under the present tariff take ont IL
cenSes the gross revenue to the par.
ism will remain the same, while the
net revenue would he greatly increas-
ed. 1t would be increased because
the decrease in the number OF diSrepu-
table places would inevitably lessen
the cost of policing the parish; it
would decrease the number and cost
of criminal prosecutions.
The argument that a $1,000 license
amounts to practical prohibition is
disingenuOus and ill.founded. 1t is
iIlfounded for the reason that the eX-
perience of other parishes. where it
has been tried has shown that reput.
able saloons will take out licenses at
even higher figures. 1t is diSingenu.
Gus because those who advance this
argument know that the high license
means prohibition sfor only the cheap
places, the tester spots, and not for
the decent places.
High license does mean prohibition
for the dives. 1t means prohibition
for the niger joints. the vag hang
outs, the haunts of prostitutes and
their procurers. 1t was designed to
freeze them out. There would be no
defense for high license from a prac.
tical business STANDARDIZATION any
standpoint--if it did not.

Galloway County Has Some Blooded
Stock. Which Is Bettered BY the
Big Event

Around Murray everybody Is in
terested in the Paducah horse show, u
said L. H. Haley. of that place.
Last years success, which was
Witnessed by many Murray citizens,
completely won them over to the
idea, and many of them Will bring
some of their blooded stock for exhl-
bition.
Murray expects to take few
ribbons and things back home as
trophies of the occasion" he con-
tinued with pride. Galloway county
has some fine horses, and believe
the Paducah horse show last year had
an appreciable effect. not so much
directly on the horse market, as on
the quality of animals. | think a
census would show more fine stock
in the county than last year. II is
my opinion that the Paducah horse
show will affect the breed In the
whole of southwest Kentucky"
