This' 111 11 gm etion for Democrats to set-

THE 5x013; QUESTION;
Some Important Changes to Be Huh I.
the Raine.» Bill. ,
A111.\.\'1'. Feb. ll.—The Republicans in
the legislature have abandoned their at-
tempt to pass a very high license in the
state—that is, unless another chaugetakes
place before next. week. Instead of the
$800 in the Ramos bill or 81,000. as pro-
posed by the New York Excise Reform ae-
sooiation, it. is proposed to charge only
$5511 for the highest license. ‘
The assembly committee on excise met
for the purpose of considering the bill as
revised, but were informed that. the bill ,
was not yet ready. The committee imme-
diately adjourned until next week. The
same Course was taken by the senate oom-
mlttee on taxation and retrenchment. The .
bills introduced in both houses bomend

from taking advantage of the present mt-
ute by having their licenses tamed for a
your before their present licenses have run
out. thus making the proposed bill inoper-
ative for almost two years. The most: rad-
ical change in the proposed bill that has
been definitely decided upon is relative to
the size of the proposed tax.
The Liquor Dealers' association have
been urging that the tax be kept the same
as the present license fee of £300 for citieb
of the first class. The tax originally pro-
poscd in the new bill was 8800101- cities of
the same class. It has been decided by the
legislators having the revision of the bill
in charge to split the difference in the
present and proposed fee, thus making the
highest tax in cities of the first class 8560
and reducing the tax for other localities
in a proportionate manner. The amount
of this tax is just half that suggested by
the‘ Excise Reform association of New
York city. The minor amendments to the
original bill will easily number 50., _
