The Brewers, Distillers, Allied Ihdustries Pay Annually Revenue to the State and Federal Governments more than
25 0.000,000.00 -
The Same Industries Pay an Additional Tax on Real Estate, Personal Property and City Licenses; more than
70,000,000.00--
AN INTERESTING COMPARISON
343 Prohibition towns have a lax rate of $2.54.
846 License towns have a tax rate of $1.58.
Tax rates in prohibition towns average CI per ccufc.jMO.RE
than in license towns.
The above figures were gathered from towns in 41' states
where conditions other than excise were equal.
They conclusively prove that prohibition creates higher
taxes and generally adds to the cost of living.
One year after Atlanta Was voted "dry" the tax rate in
creased 40 per cent.
In29 Kansas towns under State-wide Prohiibtion the tax"
rate is as high as $5.63 on $100.
In Birmingham, Ala., with the advent of Prohibition the
city authorities wove compelled to place a special tax on
every class of business ranging from blacking boots to the
public utility corporations, said tax ranging from $2.50
to $15,000.
Tn most places where prohibitory legislation has been en
acted a deficit has followed; public buildings have been
neglected because there was no money in the treasury to
keep them up; schools have been closed or at best run on
short time; and "the public debt has increased at a startling
rate.
In Los Gatos, Cal., a prohibitory and search law, such as
is now proposed in your own state, were put into effect.
What was the result?
Wives and daughters were insulted by - " - icers who .
came to search houses.during the absence of the husbands
and fathers. After a short trial of such an outrageous im
position Los Gatos went back to the old regime of license
by an overwhelming majority; the prohis welcoming it
most, no doubt, as they could nuot stomach this infamous
search law. '
IT IS EASY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT T 0 DO, BUT TO SWEEP IN FRONT OF YOUR OWN DOOR IS OFTEN HARD WORK AND SELDOM ACCOMPLISHED EVEN BY
PRQHS AGITATORS. TO SEE YOURSELF AS OTHERS SEE US IS NOT PAID ENOUGH ATTENTION TO.
"Forget not, J. pray you, the rights of PERSONAL FREEDOM. Self-government is the foundation of all our political and social institutions. Seek not to enforce upon your
brother ty JcgisluiiYG !?n??tmcnt the virtue that he can possess only by the dictates of his own conscience and the energy of his wili: John Quincy Adams.

CIRCULATION
Water Yins 'a tmnendous clrcula

Kin to value it.
M A
Thoro is perhaps moro Juggling with the Word Clrcu
latlon than with" nny other In tho lnuguago. Some
publications count each man In tho composing press
and mailing rooms and postoftlco, then allow fivo
member in each family to which tho paper Igoes fo'r
each copy printed, and call tht circulation. Others send out thousands of samplO
copies and call that circulation. Btlll others print nnd stack away thrcc-'Quartoni
of their editions, nnd that 3 another form of circulation. But paid circulation
tho kind that costs real money to tho reader Is truo circulation. No Tna'n pla'des
any particular value on tho thing for which ho does hot pay, anil this Is espec
ially truo of rapors and magazines. Nine-tenths of Iho samples go unroad Irito the
wnsto paper basket. Wherein Is tho value to tho advortlser? On tho other hand
It Is a psychological fact that a man will wad through a mogazlno for which ho
has paid, oven though It bo neither Interesting nor 1nStrlCtlVo, dh the principle that
no Is getting hla monoy's worth. Hero lies the especial valuo to tho advortlser In
every paid subscription.
flln all lfnes of business tho best proof that anything
possesses "vlrtuo In ltsolf Is Its continuous sale' to the
same persons year after year. If an artlclo Is unsatis

stun'tly bO sought for Its exploitation nnd the old

this following. It 'show's that its cnorgtes arc dxorted On Its editorial end, and tho
peoplo road It because they approclato It. This mnkos It tho bost of advertising
medium. Tho 'rtowspMper whrch secures large numbers of new subscribers every
year ana does 'no't got renewals Exhibits splendid activity In its subscription, but
not in ItB editorial department. As an advertising medium It does not comparo with
the former, 'bdeaufco peoplo placo con fldenco ovon In tho advertisements of publica
