Blind Pigs and THEIR RELATION TO CITY FINANCES

The financial crisis in city affairs
has brought strongly to the front the
old issue Of whether or not its,would
be, expedient to create revenue by
tracing tax money from the liquor
sellers as was /. done under Mayor
Patterson's administrations (, some
years ago., Alderman Patterson lis
still strong advocate of this idea
and points to the relief such a course
afforded the city when it's debt ex-
ceeded the legal debt limit and 1t
was impossible to issue city warrants
for any purpose. The license money
received at that time paid the rum
ming expenses Of the city and the
legal taxes went to reduce the float
ing indebtedness and eventually put
the city: on its feet and placed its
warrants at par. & l. ga :,
The licensing of saloons was clear
~ contrary to law then, as it would
be now, but the fact that other cities
in the western part of the state are
now pursuing this course, and there
by reducing taxation, affords great
incentive, to those favoring the idea,
to follow suit. -: .:s.zs..st,. 4
III Dickinson with three-ffths the
population of Bismarck. licenses the
saloons, and her annual budget this
year is but $4,000 as against Bis
marck's proposed $27,74O. sMandan,
with apopulation about the same as
Dickinson, has license and an-appro-
priation Of $4,000. Such figures are
rather convincing to those who dc
not place much stress upon the moral
aspect Of the question ..Z ,:2%

ton that Is kept on the statute books
by well meaning people with the gra-
tuitous aid of outside liquor inter

It is a marked condition that pre-
sents itself in the fact that less
crime is reported from the towns
where the saloons are licensed than
from the towns throughout the state
where blind pigs thrive free of all
control. Even from Copperstown, the
hotbed- of prohibition, comes the
story Of a murder committed after
- p. m, the closing time,,s4indicat-
ing, that liquor was sold there and
that the town marshal knew it. .5ls.
In North Dakota conditions are
largely those in the state of Maine:
s'The people want the prohibition law
on the books, but don't want it en-
forced" L.. .-.-.
An effort has been made to aseer-
tain the sentiment of the people of
| the city ON this question, but it is a
hard task. A great many are bitterly
opposed to any license proposition
many are Indifferent, would grasp
at almost any straw to keep down
taxes, and some are outspoken for IL
cense. 1t is safe to predict, however
that under the present administra.
ton there will be no license.
That being the case, the council
had best devote its energies to some
other proposition as a means of re
ducing taxation. ~

the business the proprietors are said
to be coming money. In this connec-
ton it lis reported on good authority
that an average of ten carloads Of
beer are consigned to local liquor
dealers each month in addition to a
vast quantity of other liquors. It is
also pointed out that one man who
three years ago was working for low
daily wages, has done so we'll that he
can now draw his check for about
$4,000 any time he wishes. From
these things it is deducted that the
business will bear a good stiff tax
without feeling it. AS it is now, the
Idea1ers pay little or no taxes and yet
make more money than anybody. It
lis said they are willing to. pay a rea-
Isonable license, and thus the situa-
ton makes the mouths water of the
advocates of this means of raising
the wind. 81 ~.
| Against such proposition Mayor

1 positively refuses to be party to the
proposed infraction of the prohibition
law, although he probably realizes
that the suggested license would un-
doubtedly tighten taxes. -..,..-
! In view of the history of liquor
prosecutions in this county in the
past, in which there has been but one
conviction out of about 1870 cases
the mayor probably realizes, as does
almost everybody else, the impossi
