Law SETS FEES
FOR LIQUOR men
PROPOSITION TO BOOST CHARGES
FOR RETAIL LICENSES HAS
SOME LEGAL iMPEpi-
MENTS.

The Laurium council meets this af~
ternoon for the purpose of consider
ing application for LIQUOR licenses,
twenty-nine of which are on lie,
whereas only eighteen can be granted,
according TO the generally accepted
view Of the supreme courts recent rul-
ing on the Warner Champion law. Six
teen of the twenty nine applicants
were in business when the law be-
came effective in 1905 and are there
fore entitled to first consideration, and
two additional licenses may be grant
ed without exceeding the ratio of one
saloon for every 200 inhabitants as
provided by the law. Although some
of the remaining eleven applicants
were In business last year, il is almost
certain that new licenses will be re
fused them, and il seems most likely
that the village trustees will this az
ternoon favor those who own the
buildings in which their business
places are located.
In connection with the question Of
reducing the number of saloons, the
proposition OF providing high license
so that the revenue OF the village
might not be reduced has been con-
siderably discussed. The loss in IL
cense fees for the village of Laurium
If only eighteen applications are
granted. will amount to $4,000, a sum
sufficient To meet almost all of the VIII
lage expenses for one month In view
of this decrease in revenue, IL has
been suggested that the liquor license
fees be boosted to $1,000 for those re-
naming in business.
1t appears however there are legal
impediments to such action. The
Warner Champion act provides that
the retail license fee shall be $500, al
though little attention has been paid
tO this fact, because this amount was
the accepted license fee in the past
IL is true that some cities i'm Michigan
provide a license fee of $1,000 among
them Sault Ste. Marie but that city
is operating under a special charter
and is an exception. Marquette has a
similar charter, and while the high IL
cense has not been invoked in the past
IL is probable that IL will be this year
l.aurium and other villages of the cop
per country are operating under the
old charters and will be unable TO
charge more than $500 for licenses.
If the proposed amendment to the
state constitution, permitting cities and
villages to revise their charters piece
meal instead of at present. receives
the approval of the voters next fall,
1t will be possible for Iaurium to alter
its charter. and raise the license fee.
At present the expense OF securing a
new charter. and the time involved
make it almost prohlbitory.

position of the University of Chicago
faculty on the question OF Big Eight

asserted yesterday that the director
would be the chief figure in the de
liberGtons over the latest recommen-
dations OF the conference representa-
lives. who wish To bar athletic men
from their ranks ana frame indepen-
dent football rules.
The Chicago coach. who has been
member of the standing national rules
committee for years is not expected 20
approve of the proposal to break away
from the national committee Although
he would be the logical head of any
western body that might be formed.
Coach stage has always favored uni
fed rules. and the Maroons affirm that
he regards the opposite tendency as
unfortunate.
Ii is no secret at the Maroon camp
that Coach Stagg does not favor the
1912 rule permitting four downs in 10
Yards on the ground that it will tend
TO increase mass play. and that he OPP
posed the innovation before the last
meeting OF the rules committee. The
Maroons are waiting TO hear the
eoach's opinion, however. before pro-
testing against the rules.
The professors who urged independ-
ference gathering were IN favor OF re-
yerting to the 1911 code so far as pos
sible. Experienced football men at the
Midway oppose the whole plan on the
ground that il is impracticable, as II
would result in confusion among the
players and officials.
