The ramifications of less, Mr. Seifert said, could not be estimated, but they would, no doubt, be extensive. Many of the saloon keepers have large families to suppvrt, and the question is asked, What is to become ot them when a large number must of necessity go out of business because they cannot pay the tax?

This demonstrates that the bill will anvtnjnR wrong. The judge wanted to get a statement more easily made than brought to an issue. Wherever one beer saloon Is closed a liquor salon would no doubt be started in its place, and if it were not a licensed one illicit selling would increase. The effect of Philadelphia's law was cited, where the arrests for illicit selling are constantly on the increase. Reference was also made to statistics collected by Seth Low when he was mayor of this city, wherein It was shewn that the percentage cf arrests In a locality where beer was sold was in the ratio of 1 to 1,000, while In another portion of the city where strong liquor was the principal beverage sold in saloons the ratio increased to 36 in 1,000.

New York is second in point of hop growth, the state of Washington or the region where what are called acific hops aVe raised, alone exceeding it.
