Gamblers Oppose Incorporation

1t has become evident that the in
fiuence of the big gambling houses is
doing much to prevent the incorpora-
tion of Goldheld. A committe of the
Chamber of Commerce appointed few
weeks ago has accomplished little to-
ward that end, and it is apparent that
the powerful influence of the big gam
bling institutions will continue to retard
and perhaps ultimately kill the move
ment. There are seven large gambling
houses besides many other smaller
gambling interests in saloons. and they
fear that incorporation might interfere
with their immensely profitable busi-
ness. One institution recently incorpor.
ated for si0o.0 900. paid dividend of 30
per cent the first month after incorpor-
alton. Since then the amount of month
ly dividends has not been published.
The gambling resorts contribute large
sum 10 the county and township gov
ernments, each roulette wheel paying
$75 month, each faro table SO aud
ach crap game $50 month. Other
forms of gambling pay similar licenses.
