CHARLESTON, Oct. 4-Last year
there was paid into the Golfers OF the
State the sum of S53S.229,4s in license
taxes for the sale OF intoxicating liq-
uors. and while Kanawia, Lewis, Min
eraI, Randolph, Taylor and Wyoming
counties are now ON the sprinking
cart, the revenue already received for
license in 1909 amounts to $565,6T1 10.
Fewer Saloons Higher License.
The decrease in the number of sa-
looms is caused by the increase in the
license tax imposed by the State leg
islature when it raised the tax from
5000 to $1,000 per annum and to the
licensing bodies OF several counties
refusing license. The increase in
the amount of license taxes is the
result of the increased license tax on
retail liquor saloons.
This year 21 counties in the State
have licensed retail saloons as com.
pared with 25 which had licensed sa.
looms in 1905 The greatest loss IN
revenue resulted when Ranawha
county refused to license Saloons
the State losing $s9,11s.89 in Kama
who county alone.
