a millionaire several times over, an
nouneed that his fortune had been

PEELED to give up his home on Euclid
avenue ana also to dispose OF his
motor ears.
He added shat q large part OF his
fortune had been spent In an effort
80 save the properties left by the late
Albert Johnson, his brother.
"My efforts to KEEP up my dead
brothers estate for his widow and
children have cost me a great deal OF
money. / don't care to say how

son was treasurer and chief promot-
or, went into the hands OF a receiver

Asked II he really would have to
give up his home as result OF his
financial troubles, Mr.. Johnson said
"Yes, I'm going TO move. Icsn't

Referring to his efforts to obtaiI

To Reverse License Plan.

II the subject Of personal liberty
enters into the liquor traffic st all a
new phase OF Is has been sprung by
Washington man. The basis OF bis
theory Is that selling liquor is mer'
chandising, same as selling any other
commodity, from strychnine TO cot
fee. He argues shat there is no rea
son TO charge a man license TO sell
dynamite provided the purchaser
has a permit TO buy.
The Washington mans plan TO
abolish all saloon licenses, permit
ting any man desiring TO do so to
sell liquor. II a man wants 80 drink
he should be compelled 10 take out a
license to do so, and Is should be q
misdemesnor for any person to sell
TO q man who does not have such a
license. Such license should be issu-
ed by county and city, reasonable
Zee being about s. a year for county
licenses and from 81 to 81 a year for
city. This would bring In u larger
revenue than under the present
license system, and would put the
burden where IL belongs,
Each license thus issued should
have attached thereto a photograph
Of the person taking 1t out, so there
could be no using OF the license ex.
cept by this man. Is should also
contain a provision shat convic,
ton for drunkenness at any time
would be punished by revocation
OF the license for q period OF ak
months or year. This appears to
me TO be the logical solution of the
liquor question in districts where
saloons are not barred by local op.
