THE VETO!
Tho Full Text of Mayor Flint's Veto of
the Liquor Ordinance
Last Night.
Wo present the readers of the Alert
this morning with the full text of Mayor
Flint's veto of the ordinance increasing
,the liquor license presented to the city
council last night, which is as follows:
To the City Council of the City of
Jamestown:
GENTLEMEN:—An
ordinance having
been passed by the city council at the
last meeting thereof, entitled "An ordi­
nance regulating tlie
sale of spirituous and
malt liquors, wines, etc.," within the
city of Jamestown, and having duly ex­
amined its provisions and considered the
same, I herewith return said ordinance to
the council without my approval and
with my objections thereto, as follows:
The sale of liquors is legalized by the
organic act of the territory as well as by
our city charter, therefore it is presuma­
ble that all persons dealing in the same
are engaged in a legitimate traffic.
While pursuing their business iu con­
formity to the laws and ordinances per­
taining thereto 1 regard them as being
entitled to the same consideration and
protection as business men in other pur­
suits. The law provides that before they
can open their business they shall obtain
a license therefor, leaving the amount of
the same optional with llie people but
fixing, as the extreme limit, the sum of
$500.
Now, what is the object and purport of
this license? To my mind it embodies no
other principle than that of revenue.
Could the question be submitted to our
citizens to-day, viz: license or no license,
it is undeniable that those favoring
license would prevail by an overwhelming­
ly large majority. If this is the fact then it
is certain that a majority of the citizens
countenance the traffic and this loud cry
for high license is an inconsistency if
based upon any other theory than that of
revenue alone. Could I see wherein tem­
perance was to be benefitted or a single
moral principle strengthened by raising
the license my decision would be differ­
ent. I can not conceive that the number
of our saloons would be one less, but con­
ceding a reduction of two jr three then 1
fail to see the great moral gain. Would
not the remaining ones do a correspon­
dingly larger business With this view,
and believing as I firmly do, that in rais
ing the license no principle of morality or
temperance is secured but that it is purely
and wholly a means whereby the city
treasury may be replenished the question
recurs simply upon the amount at which
the license should be placed as a means
of revenue. This should -be determined
upon business principles, justice and
candor, uninllucnced by any natural dis­
taste one might entertain for the business.
1 allow that our city expenses are some­
what enhanced in consequence of the
traffic, many offenses are traceable to it.
Additional vigilance is required to main­
tain the peace and order of the city. For
these reasons the general government has
asked from the distillery to the retail shops
heavy contributions for revenue and lo­
cal governments have made like de­
mands. This is right to a reasonable extent,
and yet legislators have seen the import
ance of fixing a limitation upon the li­
cense knowing and realizing.that without
this barrier immoderate and over zealous
persons would seek at every point and up­
on every occasion to abuse it. I believe
while it is legalized, permitted and al­
lowed to exist by the supreme law of the
land,dealers should be protected from im­
position by the same law. No one denies
that the sale of liquors is attended by
many obnoxious features, and yet I will
yetiture that no business man or property
owner of the city would like to see the
saioons abolished. They recognize the
fact that in the existence of seventeen
saloons that nearly as many business
houses are rented at heavy rentals. They
recognize the fact that our city is receiv­
ing visitations in large numbers from land
seekers, speculators and tourists from all
over the land That we have a railroad
center and that large numbers of con­
tractors and employees congregate here I
in fact, that our floating population is
great and that it is from this source the
saloons derive the greater portion of their
patronage. They recognize too that the
recipients .of this current exchange are
no misers who hoard their money but it
goes out to the dry goods men, the groc
erymen, the clothier, the liverymen, the
barber, the doctor, the dentist, the priest
and the preacher. Close the saloons of
Jamestown to-day and to-morrow you
may look upon an apparently deserted
village. I assert that the business men
and a large excess of the citizens seek
these institutions, and from this fac'. I am
unwilling that this class of our fellow
citizens whose business is thus sought and
tolerated and
countenanced should be made
the target of oppression and the depository
from which to draw the great bulk of our
city tax. True, we are cloiheil in a little
brief authority and there are seventeen
subjects directly in our power. But be­
fore I am a party to squeeze from tliem
the last cent there is ip their business for
the purpose of taxation 1 would be con
vinced by our citizens at large that they
are not wanted here, that they are nui
sances and a disadvantage to the business
interests and prosperity of the city. It is
right and just that they should pay a fair
revenue, but at this particular time and
in this unexpected manner to double the
license is to my mind unfair and unrea
sonable. As I have before remarked
there is no doubt but that, every saloon
woijld pay the advance. They would do
it from a sense of necessity, many of them
All thev have is invested 'n their fixtures
and stock and in order to avoid a great
sacrifice they would feel compelled to re
main. I can not look upon men engaged
in selling liquor in the light that some
Others do, I can treat them not as at} os
tratitpjjd class by virtue of their employ
mentbut only as men, townsmen and
citizens, and accord to them the rights
and privileges inherent to every man
1 believe as the city advances the ]!'xnse
should "be increased, but I think other
cities throughout the United States the
age and size of ours have exacted no
hlghef license th*n we have. I would
recommend this, that on the 1st day of
January 1SS4 an advance cf $50.00 be
made and every six months strengthen
the same advances until it reaches $500.
I have studied this question carefulty and
candidly. I have been respectfully im­
portuned by personal friends whose judg­
ments 1 respect, who take opposite views.
I may be wrong in my position yet I.cai
take none other that would be in accoi
with my honest convictions.
What Mayor Flint Says.
In the sundown contemporary Monday
evening appeared some statements so
manifestly reckless of the truth and such
obvious betrayal of confidence that an
Alert reporter interviewed Mayor Flint
upon, the subject. The Capital has so
frequently misrepresented the Alert that
we have come to take its assertions with
great deal of allowance, and any matter
in which its bigotry outweighs all other
considerations, we thought it highly
probable that it had prevaricated some­
what in this instance. We give below
the questions put to Mayor Flint and his
answers verbatim
Question—in your recent canvass for
Mayor,Mr. Flint, did you ask the support
of the Capital, as that paper states this
evening?
Answer—No, sir. I had no use for a
paper that was too pure for angels to
read and too senseless for foold,as I w®uld
have considered it a detriment to my
success.
Q. Did you have any conversation with
Mr. Burke implying that you desired the
support of liis paper, as lie claims
A—I never exchanged a word with
Mr. Burke in regard to my candidacy or
election.
Q—What authority then has he for the
assertion
A—None whatever.
Q.—Did you ever call at the ollice for
any such purpose
A—Not at all. On my return from the
east 1 met Mr. liurke'k partner, Mr.
Speaker, on the train, aud had consider­
able conversation with him, from which
I judged him to be a liberal minded, sen­
sible fellow, and on the strength of that
acquaintance during the canvass 1 called
upon lum at the oflice aud ventured to
solicit his individual support in my elec­
tion, not saying anything about the sup­
port of tlie paper, us I did not expect
nor desire il. Nothing was said about
license or saloons farther than Mr. Speak­
er voluntarily remarked that he would
personally approve of a liberal course
toward them and that he occasionally
took a drink himself.
Q—What have you to say to the opin­
ion purporting to be yours in reference to
the subject of saloons and licenses in
Carrrngton, in connection with your con­
templated building of a hotel at that
place, in which the words, "I shall put
in a good bar. I shall make it first
class, and in that way keep out the low
doggeries. That's the only way to do
it—put in good saloons, put up a license
so high that low places cannot pay it.
That's practical temperance!" are given
as the substance of what you said to a
gentleman on the subjcct.
A—I never gaye expression to such sen­
timents to any one. I had a business
conversation with Mr. Casey upon the
subject of building a hotel at that place,
but the question of license was not raised
and no reference or intimation was made
to "low doggeries" or saloons of any
character other than the one I contem­
plated.
Q—Is your opinion now upon the li­
cense question the same as it was before
the election
A—It is. Whenever the subject of li­
cense was discussed previous to the
election I expressed my opinion to friends
and opponents alike that 1 thought our
present license tax was sufficient, for
awhile at least. If that was considered
any issue in the campaign none need then
to have misunderstood or be now disap­
pointed in my position.
The Fishery Exhibition.
LONDON, May 12—Notwithstanding the
lowery skies showers of rain, heavy
murky atmosphere and muddy roads in
the morning an enormously large number
of people witnesses lite ceremonies at­
tending the opening of tho international
fisheries exhibition at South Kensington.
Approaches to buildings were packed
with carriages and pedestrians at an
early hour apd long before noon twenty
three ac.es of buildings were filled with
spectators from all points of the world.
