FOR BETTER LICENSE LAWS.

Suggested amendrHents to the license laws re-
quiring Of all concerns that pay license fees that
they post conspicuously in their place of business
evidence that the licenses have been paid as is
required OF saloons, would undoubtedly do away
with much opportunity for abuse of the license
laws. A lcense-payer is entitled to know that
his competitor has paid his license If evidence
OF such payment be posted he is afforded his oppor-
4unity TO find out
Under the laws of this city the collection of
licenses has been vexatious matter In the first
place, it differs from the method of collecting taxes
in that both levy and collection of licenses come
under one department. In the levy and collection
o. taxes the Assessor practically charges the Tax
Collector with the amount to be collected and the
Tax Collector must account for the sum thus fixed
Here one department is a check upon the other
Similar conditions obtain in the collection of LIQUOR
licenses. The Police Department discovers the
saloon and the Tax Collector collects the license.
Then too, the saloon-keeper is required to post
conspicuously evidence that his license has been
paid. But in the collection of other licenses the
Collector not only collects, but he must hunt up
those who required to pay, and it is not re-
CURED OF those who pay that they post evidence
OF payment. The opportunity for carelessness
and graft under such arrangement is obvious.

THE QUIET LIFE FOR Mr.. GAGE.

Former Secretary of the Treasury Lyman T.
Gage defines his relations to theosophy in letter
addressed to the Chicago Tribune. He asserts that
he is affiliated with the followers OF Blavatsky in
only friendly way and that his visit to the Ting
ley institution at Point Loma San Diego County,
is inspired by no other motive than to add to his
knowledge of the simple life. Mr. Gage says that
he is too old to enlist in the army and too set in
his ideas to join the theosophists He is interested
in the occult, but only from the standpoint OF
student and not from that of him who has become
an ardent convert of the faith.
Mr. Cages explanation will be accepted without
reserve. When a gentleman desires to delve into
the mysteries of heosophy there is no good reason
why he should not be allowed to pursue his pleas
without reprimand from the critics of public
and public things. 1t is certainly nothing un-
usual for of Mr.. Cages attanments and wide
knowledge of human affairs to wish to know some
thing of all there is in life, in its most strenuous
and its most simple forms. The definition of the
former Secretarys remark about being too old to
enlist in the army is that he once asked to be-
come honorary member of the military branch
OF Mrs. Tingleys school "I would like to see this
army" he once said, "and watch its simple ways
of drilling for the battle of life" This and the de-
ghtful climate of San Diego County attracted him
Let Mr.. Gage enjoy this climate and his medita-
tons in peace.
