LIQUOR WAR IMMINENT.
Measures to Be Taken Again Dealers
Who Fail to Paw Licenses.

1t now looks as If there would be a
liquor war on in Ogden before many days
through the activity of the Retail Liquor
Dealers association, who, it Is stated,
will soon take steps to enforce the laws
against all persons or firms as well as
clubs in the city where liquor Is sold.
Dissatisfaction has existed for years
In the ranks of the liquor dealers over the
fact that the city authorities have never
made an effort to compel these places to
pay retail license the same as the regu-
lar liquor dealers are compelled to pay.
1t is also claimed that all protests against
this discrimination was futile and as there
was no organization little could be ac-
complished and no Individual cared TO
stand the expense of testing the matter
in the courts. The recent organization of
a Retail Liquor Dealers association over
comes this trouble and they have deter
mined to fight the matter to a finish. 1t
is maintained that the government makes
no discrimination and compel the pay
ment of the regular retail tax by all. The
contention is that the city should do the
same. 1t is expected that the attention
of the local authorities will be called to
this state of affairs and unless they take
prompt action the matter will be carried
into the courts,
