The closing Of the Des Moines sa-
looms and the cutting OF OF the saloon
license revenue for the remainder OF
the fiscal year will seriously embarrass
the city government financially. de-
clares Mayor James r. Hanna. Drastic
economies may be necessary In order
that the city may conduct its business
until a readjustment can be made. he
says
There are eighty-six saloons in the
city, each Of which pays the mulct tax
Of $500 per year and city license OF
5000.
The mulct tax is divided equally be"
tween the city and the county, each re-
ceiving $500. The net revenue the sa
looms pay the city each year IL sos. 200.
It Is probable that special meeting
Of the city council will be called for to-
day to consider the saloon revenue
matter.
Action Not Unexpected.
Tho the action had been clearly fore-
Swallowed by previous decisions and
those on the inside were quite prepared
for the decision. when the Des Moines
saloons We're actually closed Saturday
night by reason of withdrawal OF the
mulct protection thru a court decision,
there was a great deal Of excitement
The experience Of Des Moines goins
dry had not been known for several
years.
There seems to be no escape from
the situation. The antisaloon forces
are jubilant and happy beyond express
sion. The saloon men are correspond
ingly detected and do not know which
way to turn. That the situation Will
make an immense difference In the bus
mess situation in the city is admitted
by all.
The Des Moines saloons have been
operating quitely for long time and
there has been much less trouble from
them in recent years than ever before.
In fact there was apparently less OBJ
lection to them than formerly. At the
same time it is very much doubted,
even by the retail liquor dealers asso-
citation. II another consent petition can
be secured. at least until after the next
city election. to have on it the names OF
q majority OF the voters. 1t is prob
able no action will be taken until in the

corning the proposition by those

Tense at letter from President
Herbert Griggs Of the Humane So

be.
