The question involved was the
relation of the saloon to the coun-
ty revenues. That was all that
the REGISTER referred to in the
first instance, and that was all
that Bro. Swift replied to by giving
the figures relative to criminal
costs and saloon licenses for two
exceptional years; and from
which figures he came to the con-
clusion that the county treasury
was "better off without than with
saloons" No mention of the
State by him OF by me. Now my
brother wants to take the State
into the account, whose disburse-
ments for criminal costs bear no
relation whatever to the condition
Of Iron county's treasury, SO far as
the revenues are derived for and
applied to the county's purposes.
And it was Of this only that he
and | we're editorially discoursing.
