For sale by all desters:—Adv . FOR FACTS AND FIGURES = e f wtion has been called to a news item which appeared-in the Bemidji Dafly Pioneéer a few days ago, in which an Bleventh Street Merchant was quoted as sayhig:® “Should the saloons be voted out -several thousand dollars would have to b . be returned o the dicense holders, but where {8’ that'money to be obtained?”. A few dlylg .my attention was called to-an editonial appearing The Bemidji Daily Pioneer, {niwhich the voters of the city were advised that, in vase the: saloons were voted-out; about $10,000'may-have - to-be returned: to the license holders.- If the Eleventh Street Merchamt and the Bemidji Daily Pioneer were correct in what' they * have said, the city mighi, before voting out the saloons; be called upon 'to consider the matter with some serfousness, but the Eleventh“Street Merchant and The Be- midjl Daily-Pioneer have been misinformed and their utterances have, as a conse quent¥e, mi [ded some of our citizens, unfamiliar with such matters, into believing th:‘glchi it of the license fee as corresbonds to the time such license may have yet to’ ri-migkt have to be returned, when such license is revoked by reasons of the place-in swifich-he operates going dry. 3 The provisions ‘of our law relating to the annullment of liquor licenses and re- fundm¥nt ol liquor license fees reads as follows: G:'S. Mifin. 1913, “3150. Licenses, how” annulled—Every ‘liquor license shall 1@ anvalled by operation of law: - % 1. By the death of the licensee. g . 2. By the sale/of Hgior becoming unlawtul in the-place for which such liquor is 5 _ 3. 'Whengranted by a county board, by the subsequent inclusion of the place: for Awhich™it, was granted within a municipality. T IR ases, and in no other, such part of ithe licensei fee as corresponds to the times guch iHeense had yet to run may be returned.” ‘ In caseBemidji'votes dry, then the sale of liquor ‘will become: unlawful in this city,. 3dit_i ‘consequenod, liquor Hcenses will became-annulled by operation of law. The 48, supposing Bemidji goes dry at the' coming election, must the city retatitito saloon keepers such parts of ¢heir license fees as corresponds -to the per! censes may yet have to.run at tng time of sucn election? This leads us to place a ognstruction upon the meaning of the following porntion of the above quoted Statute: “In such case, and in no other, 8,ch part of the license fee as corresponds to the time such licensehas yet to run may pe returned.” This portion of such statutd has ibeen given“a construction by the highest ‘court in our state, the Supreme Court,’and its meaning is forever settled. The case inm which the court. expressed it- self upon this matter will be found in 115 Minn. Reports. 66, and is entitled, Bend- er v. City of Fergus Falls: In‘that case ope Bender was duly licensed to deal in intoxicating liquors by the comimon: council of ‘the'city ‘'of*Fergus Falls. Subsequent to granting the license'an’election was held in-‘the ‘city, at which the question whether licenses for' the sale of kHquors should be' granted 'was submitted to the electors, resulting in a majority vote against ‘license.- The-saloonkeeper’s license thereby, by 'operation. of law, revoked.He closed: his place of business, and thereafter presented ito the city council aclaim for a return of that portion of the license fee covering the period subsequent to the election. The council returned a part of the amount claimed, and refused to refund the balance, amounting to $516.06. The saloonkeeper thereupon brought an action to recover that amount. The court held that e had no cause of action—no claim against tne city—and could not, therefpre, fecover from the city, for the reason that thé language contained in the statute above referred to, namely, “In such cases, and ‘in ‘no other, such part of the licentq feeas corresponds to the time such license had yet'to run may be returned,” vestéd:in the city authorities discretionary authority only. So that, in case Bemidji votes dry at the coming election, it will be optional with the city to pay to the saloon- keeper's of the city such parts of the license fees as ‘corresponds to the periods such licenses may yet have to run at the time of the election;, and if the city decides to refuse to réfund, the saloonkeepers will be unable to compel the city to pay. There is no “may hfve to” about it. The city cando as-it pleases. When @ne takes out a license to retail intoxicating .liguor, he takes the chance of beig tifrown out of business by a dry election and -of losing a portion of his li- censb4fee. “Such is the situation by reason of our law. : 1t is-t0 be hoped that this brief statement may da.away with one of the obsta- cles in the way o. the Eleventh Street Merchant voting dry, and trust that the Editor of the Pioneer may not-takeoffense ‘at what is nerein said for it is believed that his editorial was prompted by an honest' desire ‘to enlighten the voters upon an important matter. - BEMIDJI FOLKS ASTONISH DRUGBIST “We sell “many ‘good ‘medieliies but we are told the mixture of buck- thorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka, is the best we ever s0ld.|Adler-i-] Bemidji folke astonish us daily by |druggist.
