PROHIBITION. AND. PROSPERITY
Taxes, Rents and Property Values
Business Failures.

For the purpose of ascertaining what
effect, if any, prohibition has on taxes
and municipal prosperity, inquiries
were recently addressed to the officers
of some 1000 towns having a popula-
tion of 5000 or more and located in all
parts of the United States. To these
inquiries 906 replies were received from
towns under license and 262 were from
prohibition or "dry" towns. The re
plies show that the average rate on the
800 valuation was in 1902:
In prohibition towns .........$2. .43
I'm license towns ................ $50
the average rate, therefore, was so
per cent higher in the prohibition than
in the license towns.
1t may be admitted that the rate of
tax is not the only factor to be con.
sidered and is not conclusive. The
financial condition Of the various towns
and the conditions of their public i'm
provements, etc., must be taken into
account TO arrive at a fair conclusion
as to the effects of license or prohibi'
tion on the public welfare.
Investigation showed that the aver
age per capita Indebtedness of the pro-
hibtion towns exceeded by A per cent
that Of the license towns
In getting AZ the condition of the
public improvements, etc, in the vari'
GUS towns difficulties were encountered
and no actual percentages could be oh.
tained. The overwhelming preponder.
ance of testimony, however, was that
in respect TO streets, public buildings,
schools and other public utilities, the
license towns were in much better
shape than those under prohibition.
From these investigations it appears
that taxes and public debt increase un-
der prohibition, while public improve
ments deteriorate. Such result
might reasonably be anticipated, If a
very considerable revenue is taken
away from a town through the refusal
TO grant license, that revenue must be
either made good by additional take:

To Receive Japanese Prince.

Washington, Oct. 31.-At the Japa.
nese legation on n street there is much
stir and hustle these days, for elab-
crate arrangements are being made for
the reception and entertainment of
Prince Fushimi, first cousin of the EN-.
peror, who is now on his way to San
Francisco and is expected to arrive in
this city about the latter part of next
week.
Prince Fushimi is the ranking prince
Of the army, as Prince Arisugawa is of
the navy. As a lieutenant-general he
commanded the first division at the
battle of Nanshan Hill, and partici.
pated in the preliminary operations be-
fore Port Arthur. He has since been
promoted to full generalcy.
The announcement that the prince
will come first to Washington before
visiting the st. Louis exposition, has
given rise to a report that he has been
sent to enlist the aid of President
Roosevelt in bringing the war with
Russia to a termination. This report
is vigorously denied at the Japanese
legation, who explain that he will call
upon the President merely to pay his
respects.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1904-10-31

or else the community must administer
its affairs on a smaller total revenue
As matter of fact, a middle course
seems to have been pursued. In order
to meet the loss Of revenue formerly
derived from license, the communities
adopting prohibition appear to have
raised a portion of the lost revenue by
increased taxes and met the remaining
deficiency by reducing their expenses
such reduction in expenses resulting
in poorer streets, poorer public build
ings and fewer repairs and various
other economics.
The increase in taxes in prohibition
communities is really greater than ap-
pears from the above figures because
the depression in rents and in values,
and, consequently in the tax paying
ability of the property, should be con-
sidered. If all these elements are given
their proper weight the conclusion is
not far from correct that the
adoption of prohibition doubles the ac-
tual tax rate.
Instances in which the tax rate has
been enormously increased by the adop
ion of prohibition might be quoted at
great length. In % towns in Kansas
md North Dakota the average rate was
n 1902 1886 on the 800 valuation.
Taxes in Atlanta, Ga, under prohibition
increased 40 per cent in one year and
he city had to sell 100000 of gas stock
which it owned to meet expenses.
