PROHIBITION COSTLY
 TO SALOONKEEPERS
Expenses of Conducting Cafe Contin- ucs While Stores Are Bringing

The cost of prohibition to one local cafe proprietor has been figured by him as $2.33 an hour, that amount representing the cost of store rental, liquor license and other revenue pay ments. teXacted from him while his store is closed awaiting developments on the Hduor situation. This amount is the same as has been paid during the days preceding the bone-dry pe- riod, but as no provision in the way of refunding license money or other expenditures necesStated by the clos ing have been made the owners are out that amount each day.
 1t is quite probable that no relief measures will be adopted in the sa- loon-kecpers favor and many of them are opposed to the lifting of the ban in November as is proposed, inasmuch as this lifting may remove the only possibility of receiving a license re- bate. money. They are willing, how ever, to open their places for the sale of a satisfactory beer and at the opening of the period in which the constitutional law is effective they an nounce they will be ready to close their doors. The present closing is an injustice to them, they argue, as grocers and other merchants are now selling near-beer and other forms of drink while a license fee is not de- manded of them.
