the effect that he- will support him.
Mr. Avery Indicates that Mr. Hawley

PAUPERISM INCREASES
SOSIE . ASTONISHING FIGCBJES
FROM COUNTY RECORDS.
Tax for Support of Destitute Persona
in Polk County Doubles In
Two Years.
This office is in receipt of a prohi
bition campaign circular setting forth,
among other arguments, that prohibi
tion reduces pauperism; that there are
less paupers in dry communities than
in wet ones.
Wrong again. It would seem like the
closing of saloons ought to reduce
pauperism, but It Is not true; at least.
It is not true here in Polk County.
Aid Polk County Is where we live and
pay our taxes.
Over ln the office of the County
Clerk is a book called the Register of
Warrants. This book shows all of the
money paid out by the county, and on
what account An examination of this
record shows public money expended
for the support of paupers ln the last
four years as follows: t
Wet Wet . Dry Dry
1907 1908 1909 1910
$1368.53 $1539.67 $2194.20 $2240.15
To be exact,' these figures show the
total amount paid out for the support
of paupers from July 1, 1907 to July 1,
1910, only. The county was diclared
dry July 1, 1907, and these, figures
show the expenditures for the last two
wet years and the last two dry years.
It will be seen that the property-own
ers of Polk County are paying nearly
twice as much taxes for the support of
paupers now as they paid during the
wet years. The fact is, if these figures
covered to October 1, instead of July
1, of this year,.lt would be shown that
they are paying over twice as much,
for in the four months since July 1
they have paid the astonishing sum of
$1132.22 nearly as much ln four
months of the present dry. year as
they paid out in the entire wet year
ending July 1, 1907. .
IIIgli-Ttde of Pauperism.
High-tide in pauperism in Polk
County was reached in August of this
year, when the pauper bill reached the
sum of $450.26 nearly as much mon
ey in .one month as the county ever
paid ln any six months under wet
rule. The showing Is almost Incred
ible, but the Register of Warrants and
the cancelled warrants themselves are
on file to, prove the correctness of the
figures.
It cannot be argued that a more lib
eral policy is being pursued toward
our unfortunate residents than form
erly, for the identical men compose
the county court that composed it four
years ago, and Identically the same
policy is being pursued now as was
pursued then. There is simply more
want and more suffering among the
poor now than there was then, and
this privation the court relieves when
a case is brought to its attention.
What Is the cause, you ask? The
Observer must frankly admit that it
does not knqw. It merely cites these
figures to show that "the old and oft-
asserted claim that all classes of peo
ple are more prosperous in a dry
county than ln a wet county has no
foundation in fact at least, so far as
Polk County Is concerned.
Attends Golden Wedding.
The Reverend -Joseph Hoberg, a
pioneer minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, visited at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. D. M. Metzger, a
few hours yesterday. Father Hoberg
was on his way to his home In Mc
Minnvllle from Salem, where he at
tended the golden anniversary of the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J. Royal.
He says it was a notable gathering,
in that seven persons were present
who attended the wedding fifty years
ago. Among' these guests were the
brides maid and the grooms best man
The clergyman who officiated at the
wedding is still living, but was unable
to attend the celebration, being a res
ident of California at the present time,
Father Hoberg is enjoying excellent
health and called on many of his
friends ln Dallas before his train left
yesterday afternoon.
