Governor Brown is of the opinion that
If will vet be necessary, and maybe very

the purpose of getting after the dilatory
uear-beer dealers who haven't ponied Up
with their tax.
Tuesday morning the governor COM
mente1 once more upon the slowness
with which the near-beer taxes. are COM
ing into the state treasury.
II am going to see that this law Is
enforced" he said. II have not yet de-
cided upon any positive steps, but II
looks like something will have to be done,
probably within the next few days y
few examples will have a salutary effect
upon those dealers who are taking their
time about paying the tax"
Governor Brown is still in doubt as to
the possibility OF applying any penalty
to those vino have not paid, beyond max
ing them pay what is due. He believes.
however, that little more than the col
lection of the tax can be attempted as
yet. ..-
One lone remittance of near-beer tax
came to the treasury Tuesday-$6oO addi-
tional from Muscogee county. Two deal
ers in Columbus had fallen into line.
The near-beer remittances this year are
behind those of last year. with very lit
tie indication that they will buck Up
soon unless official steps are taken 20
hurry them. Comptroller General Wright
recently estimated that the tax this year
should not be less in its total than il
was last year, because Notwithstanding
the new. restrictions placed on dealings
In near-beer the increase in the tax itself
would compensate for those 1909 payers
who have had to go out of business.
