The city license will be raised from

A. new license Of $40 "a year is assess.
ed against the drug stores who handle
liquor, while the license of $500
against the wholesaler remains the
same.
These changes in the city liquor
licenses are embodied in a resolution
passed by the city council this morn
Ing and published officially this after
noon.
tentative list of the fourteen sa-
looms to which new permits will be
granted is now in the hands of the
brewers and possibly will be revised
and acted upon during the next few
days 1t is understood that six on
the list are Pechstein-Nagel saloons;
SIX are Leisy saloons, and the other
two are places using beer of the Fred
Miller Brewing company and Schlitz.
Eight Of them are Main street saloons,
Two are said to be hotel bars and one
Is on the levee. The others are sa-
looms operated near Main on the side
streets, according to the unofficial in
formation.
In the ordinance. passed by the city
council today the first action is taken
for the regulation of drug stores in
the sale of liquor. Failure to comply
with the law IL the payment of the
fee or in compliance with the pro-
visions of the state pharmacy permit
is made punishable by revocation of
the permit.
Met With Brewers.
Much of the morning was spent by
the city council in conference with
the brewers of the city. In addition
to members of the council there were
present John Nagel of Pechstein-
Nagel company; John Leisy of the
Leisy Brewing company of Peoria;
u. A. Porter, agent here for Popel-
Giller of Warsaw: City Solicitor r. B.
Smith and Attorney W. ]. Roberts,
the latter representing some CT the
saloon interests.
Before any action was taken to
comply with the provision of the Moon
law following the supreme courts de.
clsion, the city council sought the
attitude of the saloon interests. May
Or Elder questioned them whether or
not they desired to delay matters and
raise some point which might prove
loophole for the dealers here At
torney w. ]. Roberts and City Attor-
ney R. b. Smith were of the same
opinion that there was nothing for
Keokuk to do hut comply with the
law.
However, there are saloon cases
pending in the district court at the
present time and the question came up
as to whether prosecution would af-
feet any of the fourteen saloons to
whom new permits we're granted.
An effort was made TO get into COM
munication with Attorney Edgar t..
Fee Of the Anti Saloon league Of
Iowa, who is conducting the prosecu-
ton. Seeing that Keokuk is to COM
ply with the law, it is thought prose-
eution will be dropped and the cases
dismissed II this could be done the

mits are granted would then be free

City Solicitor Ralph B. Smith today
gave out his first authorized interview
on the all-absorbing saloon question,
expressing the, opinion that the sa-
looms of Keokut must be reduced to
the number of fourteen to conform
with the provisions of the Moon law,
sustained this week by decision of
the supreme court of Iowa.
Attorney Smith does not lean to the
special charter argument, declaring
he would not like to go up to the SUI
preme court armed only with that con-
tention. He touches briefly on the IL
cense question and suggests the drug
store evil as one which the city com
mission viii have to deal With when
the number of saloon is cut down. At
torney Smith said:--
In regard to the effect of the de-
cision of the supreme court on the
Moon law On the saloons in the City
OF Keokuk think it is too early to
give definite opinion. The text of
the decision has not yet been received
and the full import of it can not be
stated lntil that time.
From the newspaper extracts | do
not think that there is any doubt but
that we will have to reduce the num-
Der of retail liquor dealers from thirty
six to fourteen. There are two ex-
clusively wholesale dealers in town
who are not affected, j. r Daugherty
and John Leisy. The method to be
used in making the reduction will have
to be decided by the city commission.
] have heard 1t suggested and per-
sonally think that the best method
will be for the commission to void all
permits to take effect at future date
and then grant fourteen new reso-
lutions of consent Who these four
teen will be the commission must de-
eide and expect that they will take
into consideration the records Of the
Droprietors, the location of the place
of business, and the owner of the bust
ness.
I'm regard to the contention that
this law does not apply to special
charter cities, see that the Same
point was brought UP in Davenport
day before yesterday. I have not had
time to examine Ii but from past ex-
periences of such defenses, will state
that would not like to go up to the
court with that as my only
argument
In connection with the reduction
two more questions come up, one the
amount of city license and the other
the liquor selling drug store.
There is no doubt but what the
city license will have to be raised It
is now one hundred dollars per year.
To avoid loss Of income it will have to
be raised to eight hundred dollars per
year. was told in Fort Madison
Yesterday that they intended to make
