.At least a dozen were interviewed as
to what they thought of the Increase.
8ome Said they had no kick coming;
thev could live at the business if any
body else could. . Others were vot the
opinion that tbe number of dealers
would not be cut down in the least
and tbe $600 license would make It
a cut-throat business for all with no
profit for anybody. A few of that
class said they: would prefer a $1,000
rate, for then the number of dealers
would be considerably reduced and
those who paid the" $1000 license
would get something In return by In
cressed sales.; Sdll others preferred
not to exprtsi an opinion afad there
were those yetwho said it all depend
ed upon what the Legislature was go
ing to do. If the Legislature preferred
to still further enrich: Virginia dealers
et the expense of North Carolina con
sumers by the iniquitous anti-jug law;
which 'was passed by accldent.it would
matter little what Increase of the li
cense the city made, there were many
who could not stand any increase.
As to the number ol ceaiera wno
will continue in business" after the
mlsalonera also gave consideration to
the matter of whether or not the en.
dorsemeots were by persons of respan
sibllityr In nearly all cases the signa
tures were those of a very representa

granted at Wrlghtsvllle were W. H4

increase goes into effect May 1st, there
! a difference of opinion. Some say
that there will be a very material
decrease in the number , of dealers at
the $600 rate; others say all 01 mem
will come up at the proper time. Ex
clusive of purchase tax and running
expenses, under the Increase to 1600,
u dealers will have to pay a tax of
$1,035 of which $600 will go to the
city, $800 each to the State ana coanu
and $25 to the Federal government.
How many will be able to pay inn
am ! That Is tbe line of reasoning
most every 'one pursues when ,ap
tha anbiect. As to In
fl tavUM w m
creaaed revenue for the city, it la stat
ed that tbe municipality now receives
little over $17,000 per year from 64
dealers. Should the number be re
duced to B0, tbe Increase would be from
$17,000 to $30,000, or nearly 100 per
cent. . ; .' f-:V
