REFUND LICENSE MONEY
MUST BE MADE
(From Sundays Daily

One of the conditions which will
confront the county authorities the
first of January when the prohibi-
ton amendment is supposed to go
into effect, is the refunding OF IL
cense money to the saloons OF the
county which have paid in advance
of that time.
There are sixty-seven saloons in
Yavapai county which have paid Ii
cense at the rate of $500 per year,
advance yearly payments having
been made in all cases. Some of
these licenses expire a few weeks
before January 1st, others run as
late as next June 30th, while a ma
jority expire the first of next April.
A careful checking of the record
yesterday showed that the average
payment expires April first, which
means that an average refund OF
three months, license will be neces-
sary from the county. On sixty
seven saloons this would amount to
5000 Some of these saloons have
also paid city and all a govern
ment license So far as the city
license is concerned in Prescott the
time expires simultaneously with the
taking effect OF the prohibition
amendment, but in many towns of
the county a refunding of various
amounts will be necessary, licenses
in various places not having been
made exploratory on January LIST. So
far as the government license is
concerned all the saloon keepers
are agreed that it will be a loss to
them. And with reference to coun-
ty licenses which expire before the
first day of next January, the sher-
iff yesterday said that it would be
necessary for the holders to deposit
with him the full sum of $500 to
insure them an existence until jan
uary first, at which time, if the sa-
looms are closed, the residue would
be refunded.
Lawyers Specializing
Many lawyers in Prescott are in
clined to disagree with the opinion
of the attorney quoted in the Jour
day before yesterday as
to the status OF the amendment with
reference to it being self-executing
These lawyers state that the amend
ment as passed is complete, even as
to the providing of penalties for
violation, and that all that is nee
essary to make the amendment an
active law of the state is a procla
nation Of the governor previous to
January lst. 1t is pointed out that
when the fifteenth amendment to
the United States constitution was
enacted a phrase was inserted that
congress should pass a law making
it effective, but that the provision
was simply to provide authority for
congress to supply any deficiencies
that might exist in the amendment
as passed. 1t is known, however,
that congress did not pass any law
and that the fifteenth amendment
was declared self-enforcing.

This description does not apply to q

Pets and Broken Hearts,

The dog of Mistral, the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistral's re-
cent death. II is fairly common
thing for dogs. cats, canaries and 9TH
er pets to die few days or even
hours after their masters. But do they
die OF grief? 1t Is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of canary that had sue
cumbed with It's little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed. was due not to a broken
heart, but to scarlet fever, the malady
to which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, 1t won't wash.
