JOHNSON WANTS
LICENSE REDUCED
Councilman thinks $500
Too Much for Small
Junk Dealers
WILL MAKE EFFORT
TO READJUST RATE

"The license fee OF 5000 for junk
dealers in this city Is entirely too
high" said Councilman Johnson, last
night. at a meeting OF Council as a
committee Of the whole. The ordi-
mace recently passed by City Council
should be amended, as it works hard
ship on the small second hand furni-
ture dealers and Is calculated TO drive
them out OF business. In response 10
an inquiry Mr. Johnson said he thought
a $50 license was ample and that any
thing higher than that amount would
be unjust TO the small dealers.
"All right" said President OF Council
Lyon" suppose we repeal the ordi-
nance requiring moving picture shows
10 pay a license and a few other things
while the are about u. we might also
include the automobile people. All OF
them seem TO think their licenses are
too high
City Solicitor Huxley said the pro
visions Of the ordinance are very
broad and included all persons who buy
and sell second hand personal property
Of any kind from a watch spring TO ar
automobile.
No action was taken on the matter
hut according 10 statements made fol-
lowing the meeting it is thought some
effort will be made 10 readjust the
rate so that the spall dealer may have
an opportunity 10 do business without
paying such a high license.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The State
Department ls not concerned by re-
ports that its certifcation of the pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitu-

legged, the adoption by some state leg

regular and not binding, where the
people have been made part of the
legislature through the operation of
initiative and referendum laws.
The State Department, is was as
serted, possesses no judicial powers,
not even the right of review, and has
no alternative but to proclaim an
amendment to the Constitution when
it's passage has been certified by the
requisite number Of states.
If there is a question as to the eff

ment, it was asserted, it will have to
be decided by the Supreme Court of
