The Issue Tomorrow
License or no License
Vs tlu expense to the (.immunity
•Tent ill-inking habits is great, anil as
alcoholic drinks are not a necessity,
but a luxury, the license to sell should
require a special fee or tax.
Prior to 1X!Ht Alaska was dry. The
importation of intoxicating Hqum-s
was prohibited.
In ISilii Congress saw lit to enact a
license law. In tho enactment of this
law Congress sought to incorporate a
species of option law', so called.
h"r fifteen years Nome lias exercised
the license privilege. The saloons of
Nome have paid into the public treas
| tu'v for schools and other governmen
tal purposes in special fees and taxes
more than $300,000. in tin1 meantime
they have also assisted in keeping up
tlie city—not only by tlie erection of
business bouses, but churches, schools,
club houses and halls for the educa
tion. edification and enjoyment of the
people.
, They have, too, liberally patronised
the trades people, and swelled the vol
ume of trade, Ilecnuse of the benefits
to the community Unis derived there
are many who favor (lie continuance
of tho license system. Year l>y year
our population dwindles. Public im
provements need repairs. Necessity
for these special fees and taxes are
greater now than ever. There is now’
no money in the treasury.
Tlie sale of liquor is not a moral
wrong. It is unlawful only when
made so by statute.
Shall we, being given the privilege
by statute, declare the sale unlawful,
put our neighbors and friends out of
business, and shoulder additional mu
nicipal burdens? Is ii right or ex
pedient to do so?
Those who propose to do so as a
prohibitive measure deceive them
selves. No license does not mean pro
hibition. To prohibit you must stop
importation.
Tlie issue is not “wet or dry" but
“license or no license” saloon or no
saloon.
If the town goes dry there will be
more vacant buildings, with conse
quent depreciation of real estate, fewer
people with consequent falling off of
trade:
If tlie town goes dry there will be
higher taxes—a new distribution of
taxes—and fewer to pay them.
If tho town goes dry the high cost

"f living will bo still higher.
I'" i>"l forget that if you vote the
saloon out of business you still have I
the right to import, for home and in
dividual consumption, and that, per
consequence, the town is not dry—it is
still wet.
And do not forget that if you have
no saloons Nome is still wet, hut the
treasury will go dry.
For lo these many years we have
been told that a stronger anil more
Intelligent race of men is not to he
found than the men of this North
land. For a purpose, wo are now told
that they are weaklings and need sclf
i (instituted guardians, without the aid
of whom the poor deluded fools will
go to tlie damnation bow wows. Do
YOU believe it?
There are two loading errors that
actuate the ilrys. The one is the as
sumption that all the people, the tem
perate as well as the intemporate,
must lie legislated into sobriety at any
cost. Tlte other is that confiscation of
property without just compensation
is conducive to public welfare, health,
safety and good order. In the first
case the basis of the action is moral,
in tlie* second ease tile basis is dis
tinctly immoral.
"It is a matter of common know
ledge," says the Supreme Court of
Minnesota, in the ease of State vs.
Stoffles, 80 Minn. 22. ‘'that blind pigs,
or places for t lie secret and unlawful
sale of intoxicating liquors are rela
tively more numerous and far more
pernicious in prohibition districts titan
they are in licensed districts, wherein
the temptation to maintain blind pigs
is much less, and wherein all licensed!
dealers have a direct pecuniary in
terest in suppressing tin- unlicensed
t raffle.
"The history of all the past has
proven that the sale and drinking of
liquor cannot lie absolutely prevented
and that the traffic goes on. either re
gulated by license or without any re
gulation whatever.
"You can vr*te n town dry, but not
tlie people in it.
“You can vote the saloon out, but
if you thereby drive the traffic into
secrecy, it is surely a much greater
menace to the morals of the commun
ity than the regulated saloon.”
