TRANSFERRED LICENSE CAUSE
Notice Is Served on Brewery Agents
That Owners of Building Where For
mer License Was Located Will Garry
Fight Into Court If Necessary.

The old fight as to the right of the
city to transfer saloon licenses has
been opened and attorneys ghaye sent
a letter to Bloxdorf and Kluender,
agents for the Klinkert Brewing Com
lpany in Kenosha, notifying them that
their right to, maintain saloon at
54l Grand avenue will be called into
question between now and the time
for the granting of new licenses by
the city council at the last meeting
of that body in June.
The saloon in question is operated
under the name of William Kuhnen
on license issued to Joseph Dose
magen and it is the declaration Of
the attorneys interested in the ease
and it is understood that the same
opinion is held by the city attorney
that this saloon is operating without
warrant of law.
The location of the saloon on Grand
avenue was bitterly contested by
property owners in that neighborhood
and the letter. sent to the brewery
agents is a re-opening of the fight
that took up so much Of the time of
the earlier sessions of the former city
council
The license for the saloon under
which Kuhnen is now doing business
was originally granted to Joseph Dose
magen on June 10Th Of last year, al
though the records Indicate that the
license fee for the saloon was not
paid to the city until early in JuIy.
At the time the license was granted
it was located at 260 Main street,
building owned by Gottfredsen and
Nicoll and leased for term of years
to the Miller Brewing Company. Both
the Miller company and Dosemagen
had made application for the license
and the council after a long fight
granted the license to Dosenlagen.
Later on the license was transferred
to the Grand avenue location The
contention is made that the city could
not legally grant the transfer of the
license unless a formal statement was
served on the city that the owners Of
the Main street building would not
lease the building for saloon purposes
again. This notice was never served
and it is the owners Of the property
that are now backing the fight to have
the license returned to the Main street
location.
The original action of the council
was taken after vigorous protest on
the part Of attorneys representing the
owners and the Miller Brewing Com
pany. Attorney Clavin Stewart, then
city attorney Of the city, held that the
fact that the building had been rented
for a restaurant was sufficient to lead
the council to believe that the own
ers had refused to lease it further for
saloon purposes. It is declared that
the fight on the license this year will
have its sensational features and that
an effort will be made to throw some
light on the bringing Of the territory
where the license is now located into
the saloon district Of the city
The attorneys claim to be hopeful
that the matter will be settled with
out going into court, but some Of the
officials are anxious to have the matter
go to the courts in order that the
question Of the city's right in regard
to the transfer Of licenses may be
formally settled.

The same thing is true this season. We

DENOUNCES EVILS
OF HIGH TARIFF.
Grant Pupil Declares That
Lower Tariff Would Be
Beneficial to Country
ELIZABETH KELLAM

a protective tariff is duty placed on
all the goods which come into our
country from foreign lands. 1t pro-
tects our home industries and gives our
government a source from which to de- +
rive an income. This system is one of
the various ways in which our country
is supported and, 1 think, it is one of
the best.
In some countries the government is
supported by tax laid on the income
of their citizens, and even in our own
country the incomes OF all large cor
porations are taxed. A tax is also laid
on the money one inherits. This is
called an Inheritance tax.
The protective tariff is adjusted in
the following manner: AS tea is not
grown in our own country the tariff
placed on that article is low, but wool
or wheat brought from other lands is
rated at a high value because we raise
such quantities in the United States.
The inflated price of food and cloth
ing at the present time is claimed to-
be due to the high rate of protective
tariff in this way. Competition fixes
the price OF food. Take for an example
oranges. If 1t is good year many
crops are raised and oranges are plenti-
Iul. utTeloIe tne AudIhetS dfc lull.
The price of them is low. If heavy
frost occurs many crops are lost. The
lucky farmers who have managed to
save theirs are rewarded by getting
fine price because of the scarcity of
them in the markets.
Again. IL the protective tariff is SO
high that foreign lands can not afford
to send many of their exports to us the
price of the same article in our coun-
try is kept high, as we have monop-
oily on the goods. Thus at the present
time many things in our country are
constantly kept at artificial values be-
cause OF the high protective tariff.
If the tariff were lowered our mar
kets would be always full of these ar
sticles and prices would be reasonable.
at the same time our government
would be supported, our home indus.
tries protected and the prices of things
would not be so artificially valued.

Since many of the people think he

elected and will be greatly surprised
to find himself defeated.

A Possible War
EDWIN HARRIS cARRIGAN

The people of the United States or
at least a great many of them, don't
seem to think much about the re-
bellion in Mexico, but it is OF vital
Importance to the United States.
The government went well with Diaz,
but since then the country has been in
a constant state of rebellion. Isn't
this rebellion going to weaken Mexico
so that a foreign country could step
in and take or control it?
This would mean the violation of the
Monroe doctrine and trouble-poSsibly
