WllAT DOUGLAS PAPER
SAYS or LIQUOR U VSE
The following special telegram
from Valdez appeared in a Juneau
paper recntly:
“Judge Brown has formulated new
ouioon regulations which provide that
all liquor sold and taken out ot
saloons must be registered and the
names of the purchasers and the
amount sof the sales must be open to
inspection by the marshal at all
times.
“Failure to follow these regulations
will be made grounds for the revoca
tion ol licenses. The judge says
saloons have license for retail sales
only and not for the distribution of
liquor beyond their immediate vicini
ties.
“Liquor must not be sold to be
taken to Anchorage or other dry
towns. An attempt to evade the spirit
of the rules will cause licenses to he
revoked."
Notwithstanding the fact that we
believe in and advocate prohibition as
the only solution of the liquor question
in Alaska, our sense of fairness
prompts us to condemn the ruling of
the Valdez judge, as set forth above,
as being unjust ami unfair to the
saloon interests from whom the gov
ernment takes money in return for li
cense to do business, but after taking
the money proceeds to fence ami
hedge the licensee to such an extent
that it becomes practically impossible
for him to do business under the li
cense granted.
To compel a saloon licensee to keep
a register and record the sale of all
stock not consumed on the premises—
a la poison sales at drug stores—is
unjust to the man who pays the gov
ernment $1000 per annum for doing
business and unjust to the man who
patronizes him. R> granting license,
the government authorities and
recognizes the liquor traffic, gives the
licensee certain privileges which the
same government after getting the
money, proceeds to curtail and hedge
in with arbitrary rulings until it be
comes difficult for the licensee to
break even in the business he lias paid
a good round price for conducting.—
