Think it over, Mr. Taxpayer.
Some five years ago the secretary
of the Cincinnati Liquor Dealers’ As
sociation made this statement over
his signature the tax argument
used by us has lost its punch.
Mr. Taxpayer, what proportion of
your tax burden do the three whole
sale liquor dealers bear, who furnish
all the liquor for nil Alaska? Do they
help you pay for the upkeep of the
institutions in which their finished
products are placed? Do they spend
their money in Alaska? No it goes
to the three outside wholesale liquor
dealers. Do they even attempt to
mend the broken hearts; refit the
wrecked homes; unite divorced par
ents and bring home the children
thrown out upon the mercy of the
community; reestablish the man in
business which he lost through patron
izing their business; secure the me
chanic and the laborer the position
he lost through boozing; reclothe the
man they put in rags or remove the
wife from the washtub where they
drove her?
VIII — Effect of Prohibition on
Business.
Notwithstanding the slighting re
i marks of the wets regarding Colonel
Hlethen's article on the advantages
j of prohibition in Seattle, the facts
j and the figures show that something
| lias wrought a great blessing to ail
but the brewers and retail dealers.
And Mr. A. V. Fawcett, mayor, Ta
I coma, under date of Oc tober 13, litlli,
| writes: "Prohibition has been a won
derful blessing to Tacoma. Morally,
1 linancially, socially and industrially,
I there has been a marked Improve- |
! ment. The effect-of reducing the
crime was immediate. The population
J of the city jail has decreased so that
jthe contractor who fed the prisoners
and formerly had a good thing, re
i fuses longer to take the Job. Home
' life has been greatly benefited. Money
I that went for drink is now going for
! tlie comforts and necessities. Clro
| cers report better business and bet
ter collections. Merchants report
larger sales in clothing and shoes,
especially children s shoes. Building
has been greatly stimulated.
"The financial condition of the peo
ple is greatly improved. There was
such an increase in savings bank de
posits that on July 1 the banks re
duced the rate of interest from 4 to
3 per cent. Not one of the evils pre
dicted by the opponents of prohi
bition may come to pass, but the
benefits far exceed the antcipation.
Thousands who voted against prohi
bition now have become convinced of
its success, and are ardent advocates
of extending it until it becomes effec
tive throughout the nation."
A sober people mean an industrious
people; industrious people are a peace
ful people; and a peaceful people are
a prosperous people.—Adv.

ELECTION, NOVEMBER 7
I was not president of the Mine Owners’ Association
at the time the letter published by George Dooley was
issued.
My term of office ended September 1, 1907, when I
resigned.
While I was president of the Mine Owners’ Associa
tion it issued no such letter, nor did it discriminate in any
way against union labor. The operators belonging to the
xnai
organization were at that time paying $0.00 per day in
stead of $5.00, as mentioned in the letter published by
Dooley. JOHN RONAN.
