SALOONS IN INDIANA PAY
OVER 2 MILLIONS IN TAXES


just given. ! think the number in 1911
will not exceed four thousand.
1--WE have in this office data as to the
license fee fixed by the larger number Of
the incorporated cities of the state, and
also by many of the Incorporated towns.
From these figures I estimate that the
saloons in territory that is wet or that
has been voted wet up to date pay
total revenue of $1.262.375 into the
Golfers of the cities, towns and town
ships of Indiana
The following figures, believe, form
low estimate of the amount OF money
paid by the liquor dealers of Indiana as
revenue to the government, state, cities,
towns and townships:

Distribution of Tax
From the reports we have already
received from dry territory, I estimate
$125,400 is paid into the cities, s13.S00
paid into the towsn, and 81 900 paid into
the townships. This makes a total of
SIPS 400 a year paid into the state
through the operation OF the new local
option law. 1t will also be remem-
bered that under the old law there was
no township fee whereas. under the
new regulation law, there is a fee OF
$50. This alone brings in $1,000 from
the territory which was wet under tho
county option law. The new saloon
regulation law also increased the state
fee on ali licenses from 500 to 5000.
In the city of indianapolis alone
there are 757 retail liquor licenses. The
city licenses fee is $500, thus bringing
in revenue of 1878. 500 to the city and
ISL, 400 to the state"

FREDDIE lAUDS THE
SHOW AT pR0CTOR'S

l now sit down and take my pen
in hand and write up the show at
Proctor's. That's the way the letter
books say you ought to start episodes.
So, of course, l must be in style, and
here goes.
Two good singers and dancers and
takers are Farley and Butler. The
skirt can hand back some good re-
partee-(oh piflIe!)-and makes the
fellow look like thirty cents, but they
maze up, AMI she gets on some glad
rags and they get down to real work,
Which is might classy.
Say, if you want a good laugh,
listen to James Francis Dooley. He's
got a line of talk that's a wonder, and
a new way of handing it out, too.
Sings some corking stuff-says he
wrote it himself. It's a brain RATHER
if he did, sure enough.

fellows a wonder!
Gatchel and Medora, a man and
woman, have got something new in
the way of singing. They have one
of them domestic scraps and sing the
whole thing. Can you beat it? They
end up with a solo by the lady and
the fellow joins in. Very good act,
so says Freddie.
The sketch Is a sort of military af-
fair, called Fifty Years After" with
George w. Wilson. It's about the
scrappy feeling the southerners have
against the n~ortherners, and the
southern coloners son marries q
northern girl, and there is some
trouble-belieye me-but it all ends
happy, and is a dandy sketch. AL
most made me weep once. But the
fellow George Wilson, who plays the
uncle of the northern girl, was SC
funny a minute after l found myself
grinning. l sort a like those sketches
