"In the meeting before the commits

the Municipal league was reiterated,
and the discussion resulted in perfect
satisfaction to both sides. liquor inter
ests as well as the commissioners, and
| it is up to the council now to prepare
an ordinance satisfactory TO all par
I ties. What / said in regard to this
ordinance was simply this: That If
the ordinance which was to be pre-
pared and passed by the commissioners,
were too radical or drastic and pro
hibitory rather than regulative, those
Interested therein could have resort
TO referendum This remark was as
much justified and warranted as the
threat by the local option people TO
have another vote next spring. Both
measures are allowed by law. and
there need be neither threat nor COM
pulsion in the controversy.
"In the discussion before the COM
missioners. the question of reducing
the number OF saloon was not dis
cussed at all. but. as the Rock Island
man who asks that his name be with

to Moline as q prototype, | will say
this: In the first place the sooner
this city asserts its independence and
conducts its affairs in the best inter

other town for an example the better

The ordinance provides that there !
shall not be more saloons I'm the city I
Of Moline than one for each 500 inhab-

existing had exceeded that number
already. and the ordinance expressly /
provides that the existing saloons
should not be disturbed. though they
exceeded the limit. but the license OF
these saloons should be renewed from
time TO time. but no more licenses
should be issued until the population
