.Top H. Murray, of McCarthy, lippub
lienn candidate for representative
won tin' plaudits of a large Anchorage
audience in an address made to thi
voters of that town the other night
f,
as he made a splendid impression oi
his hearers, having the happy fac
ulty of expressing hard facts in thi
pleasing manner of the orator horn
In his speech Mr. Murray dwel
briefly on national polities, hut die
condemn President Wilson’s "watch
ful waiting Mexican policy," anii
spoke strongly in favor of organiza
tion.
He said (hat lie had been opposed
to Delegate Wickersham on previous
elections, but that Mr. W’ickersham’s
master!) railroad Dill had shown him
the error of his ways. Nor was this
the only point he brought out in favor
of Alaska's delegate, whom he extolled
for tiis untiring efforts in behalf d
the territory and his constituents.
Mr Murray spoke earnestly in sup
port of the Pioneers’ Home in Sitka,
and while he said that he could
neither revolutionize the laws of the
territory nor solve all of the issues
nor cure all of the diseases, but that
if elected he would meet the situation
as best he could and his action would
he governed according to the light
given him.
Me. Murray's climax was a glowing
tribute to the Alaskan prospector and
the man who blazed the way, making
it possible for the advent of railroads
and v'pital and the ultimate building
up of a great country. Mr. Murray's
speech was very favorable, and es
pecially well received.

FACTS FOR THE VOTER.
[ III—Liquor Revenue and the Public
School.
The liquor dealers are attempting
to deceive the voters by saying you
must have our revenues to maintain
your schools. Has it come to this in
American that the parents must sac
rifice themselves and the goodly heri
tage of their children to demon rum
in order that the children may receive
an education? This is a sad and a
deplorable state of affairs for an en
lightened people. Alcohol is able in
an hour to turn an educated man Into
a savage and undo the training of
years.
The state of Maine derives no reve
■ nuo from the liquor business, and yet
so efficient is its school system that
Massachusetts, one of the foremost
states in the Union in its educational
system, is trying to secure the ser
vices of the state superintendent of
schools of Maine for the state com
missioner of education in Massachu
setts.
The record of years show that the
cities and towns shutting out the li
quor business actually spend more
money for the support of the public
schools than do the towns granting
j licenses. In eleven large no-license
cities and towns in Massachusetts,
the amount appropriated per thousand
dollar valuation for school purposes
was $5.04, while nineteen license
tow-ns appropriated on the same basis
for school purposes $4.88. The no li
censed towns received more money
in proportion to the valuation than in
towns granting licenses. There were
80 per cent less pupils in high schools
in licensed towns, showing the advan
tage of no-license in its effects upon
the school life of the pupils. In li
censed towns the older children were
taken out of school and forced to help
support the home because the saloon
robbed the father of his wage. If it
costs iwo thousand dollars to raise
and educate a boy or girl, is it pro
fitable to license a one-thousand sa
loon to ruin and destroy the child?
The public schools of Alaska will not
i close with the closing of the saloons,
I but continue to exist, double their ef
i ficiency and increase their enroll
1 inent, as the schools have been able
j to do In every other dry state and na
tion.
IV—The Revenue.
We are told eities and governments
need the saloon revenue to support
them. But facts do not bear out that
statement.
For every dollar the state of Mass,
achusetts received in 1912 from liquor
licenses, it paid our over two dollars
In caring for criminals, paupers and
insane, brought to her institutions
through drink.
The city of Minneapolis, which had
been receiving $400,000 annually from
revenues, was paying out approximate
ly $13,000,000, as the cost of the traf
fic. I)o men conduct their business
after such a manner?
Chicago leans for support on a $7,
000,000 annual Income from the sa
loons and pays out as a cost for that
privilege something like $300,000,000.
How long would you do business on
that basis?
The state tax rate in prohibition
Kansas is $1.20 per thousand, the low
est in the United States, with two ex
ceptions. Kansas is one of the states
which has • no bonded indebtedness.
It will readily be seen that the need
of revenue from the saloon has not
been felt. After the saloons were
driven out of Kansas City, Kansas, for
( the first time in twenty years that
j city made no debt for current expen
ses. And this without saloon reve
nue. The first year the saloons were
suppressed in Kansas City, the cost
of public prosecution, which the pub
lic had to bear, fell off $25,000. An
other saving of $25,000 was made by
a reduction of the police force.
Revenue? In the end, who pays
I the larger revenue, the liquor traffic
j or the taxpayer? Think it over, Mr.
i Voter.
