DURHAM BRANCH John Helly, Manager ESTABLISHED 1873 But where would the money go to ? Evidently the hotel keeper, unless of course he owned the house, would not get a cent of it, for he would have to pay so much the more for his busiâ€" ness, â€" To whom, then, would the money go? Evidently to the men who control the hotel property. Both in Britain and in this country there is an effort on the part of the brewers to secure the cortrol of hotel properâ€" ty. Few hotel keepers are able to give security for so large a suw as required to get such a license transâ€" $40,000,00. In their extremity the brewers advance the money, at the Supposing now that we come forâ€" ward and relieve him of this risk by promising him compensation, it is evident that the market price would immediately mount up so that Mr. Babcock would not haye to pay mereâ€" ly $40000 but perhaps as much as $60000. In that case it is evident that he would receive no benefit while a fictitious value would be given to hotel property the payment of which would impoverish our towns and citâ€" ies. To answer this question it is neâ€" cessary to inquire what were the conâ€" ditions that made the sellintg price of that license $40000, neither more nor less ? In all business transfers there are two considerations that determine their market value. One is the desirability of the occuption, the other is the amount of risk inâ€" volved in the investment, _ Now, according to Commissioner Starr, the basis on which the selling price of a license in Toronto is estimated is, that it is worth five times the net annual profits, On this calculation Mr Babcock expects from his outlay of $40000 to secure over and above all wages and expenses the sum of $8000 a year or a return of 20 per cent on his investment. Why with this splendid showing did the business not sell at a much higher figure? Simply because, in the first place, it is a racking business for his wife and family, and, in the second place, beâ€" cause there is the risk that at the end of any year he may be refused his license, | Is there then any claim in the broader ground of common fairness ? The prirciples involved will be best understood by considering an individâ€" ual case, On November 22nd the statement was made that Frank Babcock had made application to the board of commissioners in ‘Toronto to have the license of Broadview hotel, formerly owned by Thos. J. Elward, transferred to him, for which he was to pay to Mr. Elward the sum of $40000. _ Suppossing that Local Option were passed in Toronto, in January, and that in consequence of that Mr. Babcock was refugsed the reâ€" newal of his license, there would be the certainty that he wonld lose most of the $40000, _ Would there be any claim in honor to compensate him for the loss ? 1 It will hardly be asserted that they have any legal right. Every license is specifically limited to a period of one year. â€" Every year individual licenses are refused without any protest from {the trade and all apâ€" plications are made with the knowâ€" ledge that there is a law empowering the citizens in every municipality to stop issuance of licenses if they so will. Evidently there is no legal claim,for compensation, _ By REv. Wx. Fargunarsox. The right of compensation to a hotel keeper, in the event of the loss of,his license, cannot be said to be a! burning question. Since however| some hesitate to vote for Local Option, ’ lest, by doing go, they depreciate the | value of another man‘s property. it | will be worth our trouble to examine | the whole subject. For the class tol whom I agpeal. it will be useless to| dismiss the question with the asserâ€", tion that the drink sellers have done‘ nothing tojmerit any consideration. ‘ Their merit and our duty may be very different things. The question is whether on strict business principler| they have any claim for compensation | Local Option and Compensation. â€" Â¥Vi, Review. | _ How is its power to be broken ? | Commissioner Starr would raise the license fee so as to absorb four fifths | of the transfer sale price. That is he | would make Mr. Babcock pay as his \license tee four fifths of the annual | revenue of $8000 or $6400, _ In this way he would confiscate as large a | portion as possible of what has been ;called tke unearned increment, As to the justice of this course, it is | needless to speak, but certainly it will | not lessen the power of the brewing ]combination. Their influence is in what they give and the higher the ‘ license, the more the business is conâ€" \centrated, the more power they will have, â€" Mr, Start‘s measure is bound | to fail for it will only feed the monopâ€" oly. Evidently the monopoly must be ) destroyed. _ Local Option is not the last word in that struggle, but it is a step. Vote for Local Option and thus ihelp to breaz the,arms of the Octoâ€" pus. of the Canadian Order of Foresters and is to be buried under their auspices toâ€"day, Thursday. John McKinnon. Thursday of last week, Mr. John McKinnon, ot Sulliyan township, died ut a good old age. For a number of Fora number of years long ago he was a resident of (Glenelg township inp discase. He was in his 52nd year and wite and five children will deeyly mourn the luss of husband and father. _ For many years he was a trusted employe of the Grand Trunk Railway, and was highly respected by his townsmen. He was a member Tuesday the above gentleman passâ€" ed oyer to the greater number after geyeral month‘s illness from a wastâ€" same time, tying the house to their trade. _ In some cases they buy the hotel property outright and thus are forming a combination that threatens to become the greatest menace to the liberties of our country, To compensate the hotel keepers would then do him no good but would swell the sum rolled in by the liquor combination and bind _ their tyranny only the firmer on our necks. With Gunstafson then we conclude that the hotel keeper though not entitled to compensation should be treated with consideration. _ If the present drift continue, they will ere long be so dependent on the brewers that they will become but the tenâ€" tacles of a mighty octopus, which, on the one hbhand will hold the reins of government whileon the othâ€" er, it sucks the country‘s life blood, ‘ Crossing as it does through the busy part of the town. this line seems almost a new experience, the G.
