Of first class saloon license is $1,000
The maximum is not fixed by law, but
there are Instances on record where
licenses have sold for $500 and So,
900. The average price is about
$4,000.

a dry Misunderstanding of the in
crease of the license fee in the state OF
New York from $1,000 to $1,000 year,
says:
at seems plausible to reduce the
number of drinking places and raise
their status by imposing heavy H.
cense fees, but in practice it results in
turning over the business to a few
brewers who are able to finance the
license fees and to drive Independent
dealers out of bCeiless. In some cities
in Massachusetts brewers and whole
sale dealers control practically all the
saloons and hotels and form syndi-
Gates to handle the monopoly so given
to them by the high license law. 1t
would be easy to form syndicate in
New York city that would pay 100000
a year for each license taken out The
revenue might be increased by giving
such monopoly but the liquor bust
ness would be run for all there was in
it, and social conditions would not
be improved Massachusetts has given
high license a fair test and the results
are not what its original advocates
promised"

AUTOS IN SOUTH AMERICA.
American Manufacturers Regard Tt as
Land of Promise.

Several who are investigating bus
ness conditions in the various coun-
tries of South America. and who are
reporting back to manufacturers in
the United States seemingly agree that
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay offer
the best fields for the American manu-
facturers. Every section Of the South
American continent welcomes the au-
tomobile, and there is a splendid mar
ket for the makers of the United
States. All of the most remote see
tions OF South America are being in
vaded by the motor car.
Even in those countries where
good roads are scarce, the automobile
Is becoming a necessity for industrial
purposes. In many places it is begin
ming to demonstrate its value in the
transportation of freight and passen-
gers, where railroads are impracticable
OF too expensive to build. In the bar
rem nitrate section of Chilli, where the
cart and mule have long done faithful
service there may he found in use
| now 4 number of motor cars. 1t is
reported that eight motor trucks are
| to be given an early trial i'm the hand
| ling of nitrate. Paraguay saw its first
motor truck in action a few months
| ago. This was at Asuncicn, A con
| siderable number of pleasure ears are
/ now in use in the Paraguayan capital.
| When the first motor truck arrived
| there it created a sensation, and the
! president Of the republic and several
members OF his cabinet made a trip in
/ it over the toughest section of the
/ highway selected for trials. The truck
/ proved wonderful and several more
are to be- placed in service between
interior districts and the large towns
Bolivia, tho country noted for its di
versity geographically, has been us
ing motor trucks for several years to
advantage. When railways were not
built with activity as demanded b.
the trade of the country, trucks were
introduced on regular runs from Poto
81 to Suere, a distance of $50 mile
over bad highways. The experiment
was a success, and became more 50 a
