THE VALUE Of A
LIQUOR LICENSE
THE ciTYs FEE Is NOT ALL OF IT.
NOTE THE VALUE TO THE
MEN WHO SELL LIQUOR
WORTH 81 900, VALUE $4,000
That 10 The Liquor Seller Will Cause
Want and Suffering To Make
Money For Himself.

How much is a saloon license
worth? This question has aggiiated
a good many city councils in Michi-
gan as they faced the annual grant
ing of licenses. 1t brings two answers.
The license Is worth a given fee to
the city which grants it. but it also Is
worth many times that fee in profits
to the liquor dealers.
"A saloon license in Jackson is
worth at least $4,000 to the man
who holds it" declared an official Of
that city to a representative of The
New. Republic. I'VE used to have
over ninety saloons in Jackson and
now with thirty.two, the profits OF
each retailer are very large"
Pinconning, little town near Bay
City, has ended long hard fight over
the issue by adding $500 as a village
license to that required by the state,
making the total $1,000. In Standish
the one thousand figure also prevails.
Good evidence that the liquor
dealer has not yet seen the light, Is
furnished by much talk and little
action on the subject of reducing the
number OF saloons In various Michi-
gan cities. Bay City succeeded In
counting out six licenses this year
but still has 10S bars in a city of As
900 population. Saginaw as well as
Bay City furnished much talk Of re.
ducing the number. but Saginaw
granted its old number OF 101 licenses.
Manistee managed to count out one
saloon, leaving twenty eight-which
must have been quite an effort for
Manistee since it decided to have
nothing to do with local option and is
advertising it's saloons as a munich.
pal attraction to motor tourists.
In Detroit absolr Q secrecy was
maintained by the liquor committee
of the common council. 1t was ex.
pected that something like bomb.
shell would drop and scores of Ii.
censes would be refused which here
tofore have been granted. About so
fewer licenses were granted leaving
the total 1913.
Most of these local fights OF saloon
licenses are in fact conflicts among
brewers rather than retailers. The
city council has hard time regula-
ting a retail saloon when the influ.
ences back of the retailer are brewing
companies competing for the sale Of
their product. While the people are
not interested in who makes the stuff,
they do have a practical interest In
law enforcement and the retailer is
the man to whom they must look.
With blind pigs" f1ourishing in II
censed cities and with saloon.keepers
constantly violating many laws and
with city councils afraid to refuse H.
censes when they ought to, the cordi-
tons in many Michigan cities are all
tending to increase and solidify dry
sentiment.

Mobilizing the Liquor Forces

Liquor forces are rapidly organizing
and mobilizing their. forces in Michi-
gan. Before the local option election
Of April they had begun to hire
workers in many sections of the state.
There is no doubt whatever that they
will wage a vigorous and expensive
campaign. No denial has come to the
statement made some time ago that a
campaign fund OF S1,500,000 will be
raised to defeat the antisaloon cause.

The old year is fast passing away, only
a few more days and Mr.. Nineteen Hun
dred and Sixteen will be dead and Mas
ter Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen Will
sit upon the throne of destiny. The clos
ing year has had it's usual ups and
downs, lis successes and it's reverses, It's
pleasures and it's sadness and the new
wear will record about the same run OF
things. Many a fond dream has been
shattered, hearts made to bleed that
were happy, inanimate forms sleep In
the chilly sepulchres of the silent city,
prosperous business men have met re-
verses, families that lived in luxury feel
the pinch of poverty. On the other hand
many have taken a new lease on life,
countless thousands have been born to
fill the gaps of the departed, poverty has
been turned into riches, losing PROPOSE
tions have been successful and we be-
lieve when the final poll is taken that
the year 1916 has been a most remark
able one in many ways for the people of
the United States and that the greatest
number have experienced the best condi
tiOns, taken as whole, in many years.
IT'S true that there is great world war
on, but there is now a probability of
peace, and our good country is not en-
broiled. Prices on foodstutfs are high
but the producer is receiving his share OF
it and as the saying goes 1T is an i'll

while the consumer is hard hit, the pro-
ducer is reaping the harvest. Wages have
advanced considerably, but not common
surate with INC cost of living III every
particular. But there is more brother
ly love feeling existing between capital
and labor than ever before and 1T is
quite likely that the good seed sown will
bear abundant fruit.
So long as time exists and the make
up of humanity remains about the same
there will be dissatisfied people and
there may never come time when
everyone will be in working. harmony
with one another, but.4we believe the
times indicate a tendency to this broader
brotherhood at present. !
With the passing of the rum shop and
a clearer brain and vision, the advance

cry into all quarters, good roads and

health and other great forward strides,
the future looks good as we get ready |
