Senator Carter. Do you. not think there are too many saloons, and that the business is therefore too much divided to render.it possible for anybody to thrive ? Mr. Harvey. Why, no; I do not know that there are too many saloons. I would not say that. If the number were reduced accorcl- ing to the Commissioners' recommendation the men left in the busi- ness would make a great deal of money. Senator Scott. The recommendation of the Commissioners, I be- lieve, would cut them down to about 350. What... would vou think of that? Mr. Harvey. It would cut them down to about 300, Senator. The number would go perhaps below the 300 mark. Of course, if the business that is now annually done were curtailed and cut down and put into the hands of less than 300 men, unless their expenses were increased in proportion, they would naturally show a better profit than they do now. As the law now stands the profits are more divided. Senator Scott. Do you not think the law ought to he amended so as to make it impossible for a woman to go into a saloon without forfeiting the saloon keeper's license?
