To Appoint Two Men to Take Census
of Skagway for the Purpose cf Se
curing Data for the Granting or Re
jection of Applications for Saloon
Licenses.
Juneau, June 9, 1914.
lion. Martin Conway,
U. 3. Commissioner,
Skagway, Alaska.
Dear Sir:
-Most of the liquor licenses which
were grartod during the current fis
cal year will expire on June 30,
1 !>14, mid the time is near at hand
when applications for renewal of
licenses will be made.
The law provides that, before
any license is granted, it shall be
shown to the satisfaction of the
court that a majority of the white
male and female citizens over the
age ol twenty-one years within two !
miles of the place where intoxicat
ing liquor is to be manufactured,
bartered, sold, or exchanged, have
in good taith consented to the man- ;
uiaeture. barter, sale, or exheange
t the same; and the burden shall
l>o upon the applicant, or appli-,
r.'nts, to show to the satisfaction
i : said court that a majority of the
white nu.le and female citizena of
' weniy-oiie years of age or more
consented thereto, and no license
•>hall bo granted in the abseuce of
such e\ Jnece.
Thus you will see that the per
'ii- dtsiring licenses must show
I his consent to the court; i. e. they
must satisfy the court that a ma
jority r-i tiie persons named within
two milt's of the place where the
liquor 's to be sold have consented
to.the sale. It is not for the court
to be at any troublo or expense to

They snould personally iuter-1
view all persons whom it is practic- i
able to interview, and insert in the
book their inclination on the liquor
question, and when persons are
known to the census takers to be
residents of Skagway, but are not
able to be seen, they should put
the name of the person in the book
and opposite thereto the word "Not
seen." The object of taking all
names if that the court may know
how ninny people there are at
Skagway and within two miles there,
of, for, of course, the court cannot
be satisfied that there is a majority
in favor, unless it is known what
is the whole number of the quali
fied people.
The saloonmeu must bear all the
rxpenses of the taking ot tie ^en
ascertain whether or not this con
sent has been obtained, but the
applicants must themselves satisfy
the court. Consequently the ques
tion is: How can the court be satis
fied?
It was formerly the practice for
each individual applicant to have- t
book in which were written th'*
names of those who did and ilioso
who did not consent, and if the m •
Jority of those In that book were in
favor of the liquor being sold, i
was taken to be the necessary con
sent. Last year the court made a
ruling that the consent was not re
quired for each individual applicant,
but that one book would do for :«U
applicants. That was not general:
known and so was not followed j
except in Juneau. 1 believe that
that Is the correct construction of
the law—at any rate, I do not in
tend to vary it now; but, of course,
even after the consent lias been
obtained, the question as to vIk.Iuv
or not I will grant a license in ar >
particular locality for any parti
cular saloon, :s still a matter o;
discretion.
The method of procedure to sat
isfy me of the obtaining of the con
sent of the requisite number of i
people will be this;
You select two reliable, thor
oughly honest, aud respectable cit
izens to taKe a census. These per
sons should be provided with •»
book, which shall be lettered Mid
ruled something like this:
Consent white male and female
citizens of the United States
residing at Skagway and within
two miles thereof, to the sale of
liquor a' Skagway for the year be- j
ginning July 1, 1914. !

sus, and the persons who take the
census must understand that they arc
not going to be paid by the court; j
they must agree with the saloon-1
men ou their compensation, for the
court cannot divert any money for
that purpose.
Instruct the men chosen to take j
this census that they are to use no
argument or persuasion, or influ
ence of any kind to induce persons
either to consent or not to consent.
Impress upon them that what 1 wan
is a fair expression of opinion on
this question, without any coercion
or persuasion of any kind.
As soon as this census is taken,
send the books to me.
You might also notify the saloon
men who already have licenses that
before the expiration of their li
