Rhode Island, which passes tor a
prohibition state, SO lar as the letter of
the law can make it 80, seems, like
Maine, to realize little benefits there
from, but what there is of advantage
passes into Uncle Sans pockets.
Official reports show that about 200
persons pay liquor licenses of various
kinds to the general government to the
amount OF $40, 900, while the state,
with its prohibitory laws, does not get
a dollar of revenue from this business,
and the traffic goes on just the same.

A st. Louis Real Estate Expert Gives an
Opinion on the Effect of the Enforcement
of the Law on Real Estate Values in the
City.
ST. LOUIS, May S.-William G. Wilson,
president of the Missouri Prohibition So
ciety, said: ~ have believed from the
first that Judge Noonan's decision was in
correct and that upon a proper hearing it
would be reversed. In fact. believe that
there never was legal lava legal law,
mind you-passed permitting the sale of
liquor or beer on Sunday. 1t has been
simply matter of bulldozing by the
brewers, acquiesced in by the politicians
who have had for years past control of
the city government The fault of the
whole thing has rested and does rest at
the door of the so-called religious and
moral people of the city. If they had
stood up and demanded their rights they
wouldn't have been bulldozed in the past,
and if they would stand up now they
wouldn't be bulldozed now.
''For myself, am not speaking at all of
the moral aspect of the affair. | consider
that the saloon and liquor traffic of St.
Louis has deprecated, and is stin largely
depreciating, the real estate of the city;
that the establishment of a saloon depre-
ciates property in the neighborhood for
residence purposes to the extent of from
forty to sixty per cent. So real estate
owners could well afford to pay the nee
essary tax to buy up the property now
used for saloons and keep it vacant
II state this as a real estate expert, aft
er having given the matter long, careful
and accurate investigation and calcula-
ton. The closing of the saloons one day
in seven will increase the value of real
estate ten million dollars. If they could
be closed permanently, real estate in st.
Louis would be worth from seventy mill
ion to a hundred million dollars more
than it is to-day. l can show the figures
for this statement"
