LIQUOR LICENSE
FEE IN GALLUP UP
HELD BY UPPER COURT

The state supreme court this after
noon reversed the district court Of
Mckinley county in the noted Gallup
wholesale liquor license case, holding,
in effect, that the annual license fee
of $4,000 for wholesale liquor dealers
fixed by the Gallup city council is not
unjust, excessive and oppressive"
The cause was remanded with in
structions to dismiss the bill of com
plant.
The case is entitled John Stalick
and the Gallup Cold Storage company,
appellees, VS.. the Town of Gallup, ct
al, appellants" and the plaintiffs in
the original case alleged that the ordi-
nance increasing the wholesale fee
from 5000 to $4,000 a year was a pro-
hibition against the operation OF
wholesale liquor houses in Gallup. In
the opinion, which was written by
Justice Parker, Chief Justice Hanna
and Justice Roberts concurring, it is
declared that the charge that the Ii
cense is prohibitive OF the business In
question is immaterial. The syllabus
follows:
1.-THE ordinary useful occupations
may be taxed, but the tax must be SO
laid as not to be prohibitive of the
business. This doctrine has no appli-
cation to such occupations as are det-
rimental to the public welfare, but are
nevertheless tolerated. The business
of the wholesale liquor dealer. under
| the power conferred by Chapter %,
flaws Of 1915, upon municipalities to
license, regulate, or prohibit the sale
| of liquors. may be taxed in any sun
within the discretion of the munich
pality, and the fact that the charge
laid is prohibitive of the business Is
immaterial."

Relies on West to
Give East a Run in
Food-Pledge Drive

The publicity director of the state
food administration has received the
following:
Washington, ID. C., Oct. 10, 1917.
There is a tradition here in the
east that the west is a place OF great
enthusiasm in all big undertakings.
People here believe that the west
talks big but usually makes good.
However. they think that in the fam
lily enrolment campaign the east is
going to enroll a larger percentage of
families than any other section.
So sure is Georgia of this that she
contemplates issuing a challenge to
any other state to beat her on per-
centage of families enrolled during
campaign week. So sure is the divis-
ional campaign director for the east
of this that he challenges the central
states or the western states to beat
the east on percentage of enrollments
attained. So sure am / of the spirit
of the west, its ability to do a diff
cult work completely, its patriotism
and its devotion to the cause of de-
mocracy and freedom, that imme-
diately accepted the challenge OF
Georgia and the east on behalf Of the
mountain and coast states.
Is your state going to back me up
on my acceptance of these chal-
lenges? The east is tremendously
stirred. The campaign is reaching the
people in a way that they have never
been reached before. Will you show
that the west is in the van in the
great work of feeding our soldiers
and our allies, that you may say, anc
that | may say, that our faith in the
west is we'll founded?
But with all this spirit Of friendly
rivalry, we are not forgetting, and we
must not forget, the underlying prin-
| ciples for which we work. Our Uncle
Sam, which means all of US, has made
q promise. He promised France and
our other allies that If they would
fight we would furnish them with
food and supplies. They have fought,
n are flghtlng-Our flgnt as well as
theirs. We must make good our part
of the bargain.
When this day Of war is over when
peace comes and the broken regi-
ments of our victorious armies
march home, shall we-any n of US
-be content if we have withheld any
thing that would have replaced on
missing mothers son in any one OF
those broken regiments?

FOR INCREASED SALARIES
TO ALL PUBLIC WORKERS

Declaring himself in favor of in
creased salaries for all public workers.
Rev d. II. Martin. pastor of Dunbar
ton NJ E. Church, in a sermon yester-
dav said that a wage scale fifty years
of age is about as ridiculous as fifty
vear-old locomotive would be hook ed
up to the enormous loads now pulled
by modern moSuls.
He said that Congress should not
nlace the burden of the impending
deficit on the shoulders of the govern
ment employees, but should raise 1t in
some businesslike way. If Congress.
he said. cannot bring the cost of liy-
ing down it should boost wages up to
meet the increased cost.
.aThe bread problem" he said, "is the
most important matter before the
American people today: It covers all
the actual necessities of life
.aThe rich need not worry, except as
they are interested in the welfare of
their followmen. but the majority of
salaried people and laborers. who sub
sist on a daily wage are getting des-
majority of our people cannot command
enough money to buy the actual neces-
sities of life. 1t is a lamentAble fact
that many OF the District and federal
employees are still working for the
same salary they received some years
ago. Notwithstanding the fact that the
cost of living has trebled.
To-day many are going hopelessly in
stiles Of life. Many others prefer to
i've within their means. and in order to
do SO have greatly lowered their
standard of living sacrificing physical
vitality and reducing their efficiency.
