Highcr saloon Llcenses.

General approval is expressed b.
the press OF the state of the Hatfielt
bill passed by the legislature which
raises the state license tax on sa
looms to $1,000. It is observed b.
many that the increased tax will
mean a survival of the fittest'
. among the retail liquor dealers ant
will have the effect of driving out
the saloonist with little or no capital
whose personal interest and respon-
sibility in the business are not equal
TO those who have more money In
vested. It will 4aso have the effect
OF. driving out the dive keeper. who
easily raises small license tax, and
who finds that. by reason OF the
additionar place OF business. he has
to take sproportionate smaller share
of the business and is impelled to
violate the law in order to make
ends meet.
Little doubt is entertained that
higher licenses mean fewer saloons.
1t is pointed out that there is GER
tain average amount of liquor traffic
In community and that when the
business is divided among many, the
expenses and profits are also divided.
With a higher license. some saloon
lists find their businesses will not
justify payment of the increased
tax and naturally some of them will
drop out OF business. The remain
ing saloonists. having a proportion
ately increased business with less
rentals and expenses to be charged
off, can afford to pay the higher IL
cense and yet nike a reasonable prof
1t without being forced to violate
the laws.
1t is pertinent in this connection
to point out the fact that in the last
ten or twelve years, while the state
has had Republican administrations.
there has been marked ten
dency all along toward stricter
regulation of the saloon business in
the state and "a gradual reduction
in the number of saloons. While
there may be several things yet de-
sired along this line. the movement
Is In the right direction. at least so
long as the liquor traffic is recog-
nized as a legitimate business in
West Virginia.

His long experience in the business.

markable success that has attended

particularly fit for the responsible
tiles of this Office. From a rather
small factor in the trade up to sew
eral years ago the company is now
the largest independents producer of
tin plate in the country. this being
due entirely to the far-sighted poll
cies as originated and furthered by
Mr.. Weir. Mr.. Weir enjoys a large
acquaintance among the prominent
steel manufacturers in the Phttsburg
district, being a member Of the Du-
quesne, Union, Manufacturers and
Pittsburg Athletic clubs. and viii in
the future spend a goodly portion of
his time in that city.

was general sales agent OF the Tin
Plate Trust and located in Philadel-
phia. He has been connected with
the sales end of the business fol, the
last twenty years and is well and
'faNorably known by every tin plate
buyer in the country. He will for
the present be located in clarks-
burg.

OF the New York Office. looking sr-
ter the extensive eastern trade.

urer will contiue to look after the
details of the business and the finan-
cfal part of the same. as in the past.
