Killed, His Boy The Man Who Voted Against Prohibition Pleads Guilty This column ie the property of the Local Optien Committee, who are responsible for what ever may herein- appear from time to time Ed MURDERED HIS BOY "I Grande, Oregon, Not. 8, 1914 Because he feared that bis taxes would bi Increased it saloons 'were olsed. John Doe ten years ago today voted against prohibition in this co moult; He then bad one of the bright est and best beys in our publio school Last night that son died in delirium caused by drink.

' Beware of stories - end so oalled letters and. statistic sprang on the eve of the election when the' temper ance people can not reply. Suoh schemes should convince honest men f the weakness of the saloon oaasv . TAXES AGAIN .,. Oar figures as to the taxes of those 97 men who signed the protest sgainBt County prohibition were not taken at second hand. Let any who doubt go to the rooorda aud see. Oar declaration that the average tax coming to the oity was less tban 117 for eaoh of the 97 was over generous for actually the average is less than 113 when we count only the town ; property omitting taxes paid on outside property. And to think of men whose 10 mill tax goes under $3 crying about heavy taxes I Tea and 28 who j ay no oity taxes hollering so loud I ATTRACTING INVESTORS The class of Investor who would really build op La Grande are men who would be. attraoted by a sober law abiding city Men with fan-iliea often hesitate to move to a saloon town. Men are not afraid ol blah taxes when they g.t something for their money. If it were true tbat under no-aaloonsonr taxes would be a wide higher the additional tax would not drive away investors as our saloon and our iaok of public spirit do. Prohibition?
