A TOTAL OF ll4s RETAIL
liquor licenses have been issued
in Mississippi so far this year by
the federal internal revenue de
partment, 308 of them in the three
Gulf Coast counties of Jackson,
Harrison and Hancock This in
Mississippi, which has been legal
ly dry since 1g08i Sixty-one of
these permits have been issued
since April !, when the so-called
BLACK market" liquor bill was
passed by the state legislature,
and at the same time State Tax
Collector Craig reports that
$4,000 has been deposited in
taxes collected under the bill.
This was the bill which, accord
ing to Governor abbey, was to
drive the twin evils of black
market and bootlegging" from
Mississippi. Looks like the law is
doing lot more collecting than
driving, A local option law
would have served better pur-
pose, been less hypocritical, yield
ed the state more revenue, and
the whiskey traffic to
