COUNCIL SHELVES
LIQUOR AMENDMENTS
WHOLESALERS DEFINITION is
UNCHANGED
Plan to Prevent Use of Restaurant
and Saloon Licenses in Same
Building Is Also
Filed

BY decisive vote the city council yes
ferday refused to tamper with the present
regulations concerning what constitutes u
wholesale liquor store.
Only Councilman Wallace voted for the
measure proposed b. the civic righteous
ness committee of the church federation,
the amendment suggesting that whole
salers be limited to selling five gallons ol
more instead of the fifth of a gallon, now
prevailing.
Councilman Wren remarked that he be-
lieved that the whole scheme of liquor
laws needed revision, but said the ques-
tion as presented was not IN the form ne
wanted to see it.
Two speeches were made to the council
cne by Chairman Nathan Newly of the
righteousness committee and the other by
Isidore Doclxweiler for the wholesalers
The latter were lined up in seni-circle
behind the councilmen while the delibera'
tions progressed.
Newly VS.. Dockweier
Tn one-minute talk because of late
ness of the hour Chairman Newby pre-
sented his side of the case He said
wholesalers were prone to violate the
spirit of the law which designates a
wholesaler for he had been told that fire.
auently persons buy 10 cents worth OF
beer in bottles, take it outside and there
drink it, He thought wholesalers should
sell only in lots OF five gallons or over
and retailers less than five gallons.
Under the United States laws a whole
saler sells four and seven-eighths of GAL
Ion and over, and Mr.. Newly was willing
to harmonize with Uncle Sam and make
the same regulations for Los Angeles.
ATTORNEY Dockweiler said such legisla-
tion would drive ninety-three of the
ninety-seven wholesalers in Los Angeles
out of business.
The people had voted that liquors
should be sold In Los Angeles, and not IA
city in the country had better liquor laws
or were they better enforced anywhere
on the subject,
There was no abuse of power by the
wholesalers to justify such an ordinance
as proposed for in effect it would be a
prohibition ordinance.
Councilman Wallace said 1t must be
borne in mind that there were 200 saloons
besides restaurants where the very thirsty
could be taken care of If need be,
Councilman Dromgold thought the
wholesalers helped the cause Of sobriety,
because many young men could go 70
them, buy bottled goods and take them
home, thus escaping the temptation of a
visit to a saloon where by meeting friends
they would Immediately encourage a
series of drinks
The vote shelved the Newly ordinance
The council was then called on to con-
slider the other Recommendation that no
restaurant and saloon license should be
operated i'll the same building. The new
ordinance applied even to existing estab-
lishmeuts.
CounciImen Talk
Councilman Dromgold remarked that in
its retroactive form it would knock out
Levy, the Imperial and many other places,
and he though it was too severe.
Councilman Wren wanted to refer this
recommendation to the police board,
The question was finally filed.

there was favorable for harvesting was the
principal depressing factor. Liberal receipts

at the Joe depot weighing 1865

The question, what is it used
for in commerce, arose, aud
through inquiry we learned that
it makes the finest and most

to make poultices and for medi-

Great taIe

OF two towns. Monroe City

Paris the town by the Court
House.
Saturday morning while hunt.
ing new things. we fetched up
at Robey & Robinson lumber
Office and gave them this point
er: Although lumber is high
the farmer has no kick comm
because 225 10 hog today buys
more lumber than a 325 Id hog
did few years ago.
Then we learned this: The
prices on lumber between the
two towns and in favor of Mon
roe City is. 25c per 100 on Di-
mension stuff, 40c each on 5x5
columns, 81 90 per 1000. on
lath, $4.00 per 1000 on No. 1
boards, 25 per cent less on win
dows and doors. SOC less per
1000 on Red Cedar shingles.
That is great tale, one the
farmers especially west and
southwest of this city ought to
bear in mind for when building
houses or barns that difference
in prices makes a vastdifference
in cost of your completed build
ing.

DEMOCRAT.

Like any other business insti-

and we have no source of reve-

Therefore we must insist on all
who owe us paying promptly.
10 few days we are going to
send statements to those owing
US and we will not send them
out tor fun, but because we
want the money. If you do not
want one of these better send in
what you owe at once. Don't
think that just because the
amount is small you will wait,
Should 800 persons each pay
one dollar. and there are more
than that number owing us
that and a larger amount. we
would then be in a position to
