LINCOLN HAS A LICENSE WAR
Lively Prohibition Tight Being Waged
at Btate Capital.
BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE TO TIGHT
l.aet M eek of Campaign Promises to
He a Lively One, Unlit to
Zeal of Anti-Saloon
Element.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 23. (Special.) The
municipal campaign now waging here In
Lincoln Is entering on Its last week, but
strangs to aay the personality of the oppos
ing candidate ha been almost completely
obscured by the projection Into the fore
front of th prohibition Issue under th
local option feature of the Slocum law.
The voters of Lincoln are called upon, when
they cast their ballots next week, not only
to say whom they want to serve In the
municipal offices and the school board, but
alao to express thmeslves in favor of or
against the continuance of the licensing
of the liquor traffic.
The campaign of the no-license advocates
was started with quite a flourish of trum
pets and the exhibition of a number of
star performers, chief among them being
Mrs. Carrie Nation, who left her happy
home In Kansas to ward off the impending
evil from the happy home here. It must
be confessed that the m-llcens people
made considerable headway In quiet work
of organization. Lincoln presents a very
favorable field for tempera ice agitation,
morn eo, perhaps, than any otner city of It
alze In thl section. It has a very large
church element, well distributed through
out the city, and in addition to this, ex
tensive educational institutions in the State
university, denominational college and
smaller academies. Over at the university
a student organization has been perfected
to promote the no-llrense movement. In
fusing no little energy and enthusiasm Into
It, and a number of rousing no-license
meetings have been held In the university
buildings.
Aronses the Taxpayers.
For a while it looked as if no systematic
effort would oo made to head off the tem
perance advocates, but the momentum of
the campaign aoon Ret some of the business
men and heavier taxpayer to figuring what
would be the result If the proceed of tho
liquor license were blotted out of the bud
get. Inquiry revealed the fact that there
are forty-two licensed liquor dealer In
Lincoln, paying $42,000 a year into the
school board treasury. The school district
of Lincoln does not correspond exactly with
the limits of the municipality, being more
extensive than the city. While the adoption
of the tax commissioner system for the city
baa largely Increased the total of assessed
taxable property and reduced correspond
ingly tax rate for city purposes, the tax
levy for the school fund is still made on the
valuation fixed by the precinct assessors
for state and county purpose, and 1 In
point of fact $500,000 less than it wa a year
ago. Neither doe the shrinkage in the as
sessed valuation in the school district dats
from only a year (,a)c. Five years ago
each mill of the school levy produced $6,
260, while this year it produces less than
$5,000, or a fall of nearly 20 per cent.
What all this ha to do with the situation
may be gathered from an overdraft in the
achool fund which ha raised the ichool
tax from 10 mill to 20 mills, notwithstand
ing the concomitant increase of all the
other sources ' of school revenue. To ac
complish this the law had to be amended
by the last legislature, raising the limit of
the tax levy, school districts are empowered
to Impoae from 15 to 20 mills, and Lincoln
immediately went to th top notch.
Importance of License Fees.
The relative importance of the liquor
licenses to th tax levy In the school
finances may be seen from tho following
exhibit, covering the period since 180$:
Saloon Tax Rate Proceed
Licenses. B'h'l Levy S'h'l Levy.
1K96 $36,000 9 mills $61,491.33
1897 37,000 10 mills ta.6StS.10
1898 41,1100 10 mills 60,82.87
IK'.O 42.000 11 mills B3.429.81
WW 41.000 IS mills "9.7K3.27
1901 42,000 20 mills 99,158.16
'The revnue from the liquor licenses, as I
figure It, I equivalent to a tax levy of 10
mill," says Secretary Morris of the school
board. "That is, if the liquor license are
abolished we would have to have a school
levy of 30 mill instead of 20 mills to get
the present revenue. Of course this I im
possible Just now because wo cannot exceed
tho limit fixed by law, and ws are up to
the limit. The Increase In the tax limit has
been forced to meet our floating debt, and
It ws want to reduce these obligation we
will have to keep up our 20-mlll levy next
year, and perhaps tor several year, with
the liquor license continued. Cut dft ths
liquor license money, and the floating debt
would expand until some means were de
viled to raise by taxation an equivalent of
the license money."
Business Mesr Organise.
When they began to realize the situation
as thus explained th Lincoln business men
got together and by resolution decided al
most unanimously to stand together for a
continuation of the license system. At thl
meeting there wa a great deal of oratory
of Indefinite character. The speakers did
not dare to discus the tax figures openly,
but everybody present knew what was por
tended. They talked about It a a moral
question, but voted on th resolution as
a business proposition.
But to avoid appearing as champion of
tho liquor Interests expression was also
given in favor of Increasing the amount of
the license fee exacted from th saloon
keepers. Some difference of opinion arose
whether ths increase should be mad in ths
form of an occupation tax, which would go
to the city, or of an addition to tho Ilcenae,
which would go to ths schools. Th ex
cise board took th hint quickly, and at its
last meeting voted to require a $1.(00
license for the coming year, with only a
few mild protests from liquor dealers, who
seem satisfied that it Is merely an election
bluff, to bs called in after the votes are
counted.
Appeal of Prohibitionists.
Th new turn In th license campaign ha
naturally tlrred up th no-llcens people
for a final onslaught, aod tbey have issued
a long address endeavoring to combat the
business plea of their opponents. Th gist
of their appeal may bo seen In th following
extracts:
Ths honest taxDaver la met at the three
hold of duty with the financial bludgeon
"What shall we do for money to run our
schools?" A complete and sufficient an
swer should be: "Ralee th money by some
legitimate system of taxation and put aside
forever in civilised communities the de
moralising system of robbing the family
of the drunkard to pay our school taxes."
Have no fear that th schools of this city
will be closed, or even seriously hampered.
If our people rise up and declare that the
saloons must go. But admitting for the
aake of argument tsnd for no other pur
pose) that our schools would be closed for
a portion of next year, It would be an
education of Itself, never to be forsotten.
and surely not lost In the march toward a
higher ana grander standard or punuo
morality.
Those engaged In ths traffic and those
who defend the present license system
insist mat even ir aaopita tne law eooimn
In" aalouns cannot te enroroea.
It Is a Door reason to urse for the In
dorsement of a business, that if you da
not Indorse It or lolrrut It, it will defy
your lawa. ignore your constitutional rights,
supplant the ordinary power of govern
ment by It decree of anarchy, thus setting
up a revolutionary power In local and
stats government. It will b a (rent
financial gain In the end, to sweep this
waae eapplng, property destroying and
pauper making business from our city.
That the coming week will see a warm
nlsh to this fight 1 conceded by all. but
those who have been watching It without
taking sides generally expect the no-llcense
reposition to be voted down, although the
prohibitionist may t counted on to make
substantial showing.

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
Three Hundred Acres Just North of
Ilontestake Bought by Denver
Capitalist.
DEADWOOD, 3. D., March 23. (Special.)
H. J. Mayham of Denver has bought 300
acres of mining ground lying immediately
to tho north of the Homestake ind the Hid
den Fortune. The purchase takes in the
Columbus mine and stamp mill, which be
longed to William Lardner and Chris Ruth,
the Dalton group of Gus Obery, the Buckeye
group to C. W. Carpenter, the Rosslter
Bros. group and two acres ol John Mur
ray. The consideration is a little less
than $500,000, and first payments, amount
ing to about one-tenth of the total, have
been made. Mr. Mayham has obtained the
ground for a New York syndicate and tep
have been taken to orgaalze the Columbus
Consolidated Gold Mining company, which
Is to have a capital stock of $3,000,000.
The property lies along the northerly ex
tension of the Homestake ore ledges. Join
ing the Father DeSmet of the Homestake
on ths north and extending almost to Sheep
tail gulch on the north, where the vertical
formation ceases and the horizontal begins.
The owners of the Columbus, Ruth and
Lardner have milled 12,000 tons of sre In a
ten-stamp mill. It averaged them $4.35 a
ton. The Columbus Is developed by a shaft
200 feet deep, in ore all the way. Accord
ing to recent measurement there ars 200,
000 ton of ore blocked out on the different
level of the mine. The new company pro
poses to replace the, old hoist with new
equipment aad to continue the shaft to the
500-foot level.
The Columbua could only be worked dur
ing a small part of each year in the past,
owing to the abaence of water for milling
purposes. Tho owners resorted to every
means to obtain water and failed. During
the spring and In wet seasons the mine paid
handsomely. It is probable that the pur
chasers will prepare to build their mills at
a distance from the mine in order to obtain
water, and will then haul their ore to the
mills. This will be entirely feasible by
working the mine on an extensive scale,
as contemplated.
A hundred men have been engaged for
prospecting purpose at Ragged Top. They
are In the employ of W. H. Burrage aod
others of Boston, who have the bond on
over 1.000 acres of ground, taking in the
