- ole BRITISH CRISIS -
XXIu.-THE LIQUOR TRADE.
By FREDERIC j. HASKIN.

run until twenty-one years after the
passage OF the act Under this bill.
had 1t become law. no license could
have been terminated for fourteen
years except by paying OF compensa-
tion. To all others, fourteen years
notice OF the termination of the Ii
oense must be given. In the United
States where licenses are revoked at
the Will OF the authorities. and where
absolute prohibition laws are passed
without any notice whatever this
British bill would not seem unjust.
No measure IN the legislative his
tory OF England was so bitterly de.
nounced. One issue OF leading Tory
newspaper used these phrases in com
ter lniquity" Sheer brigendage" :"
"Fanatlcal legislation" "Socialistic
conhscation." "a gigantic act of pub
lie theft" "A raiding expedition of
partisan blackmailers." THE sum Of
hypocrisy with the maximum OF
wrong" "a measure of plunder" ."
The government are acting In the
spirit OF q highwayman Progress
I've and cumulative plunder." "A CO.
lossal sham" And after all that the
editorial writer apologizcd for not do
ing better, saying. I'VE feel the utter
inadequacy of words to convey due
sense of the magnitude of this issue"
If the proponents OF prohibition
bill In an American state were to
give fourteen years notice. and then
promise annuitIes for twenty-one years
to all license holders, and then some
newspaper were to say such things Of
the temperance reformers, II is high
ly probable that some rude person
would snsinuate that that newspaper
was controlled by the liquor trade
But. OF course, there is no such thing
as a subsidized press IN Britain.
II required exactly ninety minutes
for the House of Lords TO defeat this
licensing bill. The conservative lead.
ers declared that they deplored the
evils Of drink, but they were unwilling
10 attack the sacred institution Of pri-
vate property in order TO restrict In.
temperance
Being defeated in their efforts at
direct legislation, the liberal leaders
resolved to attack the trade by using
the power TO tax as a power to de-
stroy The average liquor license was
Increased 10 Slp6uu n year, instead OF
$500 a year. and after the first year
nearly 10000 barrooms went out OF
business because they could not af.
ford TO pay the new tax Under the
licensing bill 1t would have required
twenty-onc years OF time and the ex
penditure of millions Of dollars In com.
pensatlng annuities TO close as many
saloons as the high taxes already have
closed. 1t would have been better for
the liquor trade If 1t had accepted the
licensing bill But the history OF
Legislation against the alcoholic liquor
traffic proves that The Trade" has
suffered more from the foolhardine
Of It's friends than from the attacks
OF its enemies This Ia as true In
Great Britain as It Is in the United
States.

FAST I IME OF
FRUIT TRAINS

Salt lakes boastful attitude In the
matter of fruit transportation and
the sensational assertion that the
Western Pacific is transporting Cali
fornia fruit to Salt Lake q number
OF hours quicker than the Southern
Pacific Is able to do So to ogden,
proves somewhat hollow when the
true facts in the case are under
stood.
The fast time claimed for the fruit
extras" over the Western Pacific
was made during the past few days
when the road was entirely free of
traffic from one end to the other
Moreover the trains" referred to
prove TO have been no more than two
or three cars loaded with fruit.
These, attached to a fast engine with
a clear roadbed, devoid of traffic OF
any description and free from sig
nails or restrictions of any kind re-
garding speed and schedule, could
easily make time.
Next month, when the road is for
mally turned over to traffic, the
fruit extras" viii be fewer IN num-
ber and they Will probably be found
puttering along between water tanks
and way stations as sane and sensible
freight trains should do.
