   "The current system does work," said Caren Assman, executive director of the Licensed Beverage Dealers of South Dakota.
   ...
   Assman says the organization is influential because its members are active in the process.
   ...
   Assman readily agrees that the main job of her group is to protect the interests of its members. And pumping more licenses into the system isn't in their interest.
   
   "That would create a diminished value," she said.
   ...
   Assman also points out a paradox: A bill filed this session of the Legislature would dramatically raise taxes on alcohol to help county governments cope with expenses related to alcohol, such as crime and human services expenses.
   ...
   If changes are made to the system, Assman says it would be "absolutely necessary" to compensate current license-holders. "The original owners purchased licenses knowing there was going to be a set value on them," she said.
   ...
   Assman, who had not seen the draft legislation, questions whether any compensation scheme can be fair to present license-holders.
   
   "To compensate the current license-holders is going to take a considerable amount of money," she said.
