Some Of the leaders against prohibition
have been harping on Jackson, Miss. :,
on Meridian, Miss, in which they CON
offsaerss Offsets that fu prohibitlon is a failure. As
following:
To Whom 1t May Concern.
Regardless of what our opinions may
have formerly been i'll regard to the
charge SO often made that prohibition
hurts the business interests of COM
munlty, we are willing to testify that
during the ten or twelve years which we
have been under prohibition, Jackson
has grown in every way faster than at
any other period of her existence.
Our population has more than quad
rupled
Our people as a whole are peaceful,
law abiding and happy.
Property values have more than dou-
bled
We believe the prohibition laws are
as effectively enforced as the laws
against other crimes, and can see nc
reasons why this should not be so. IT
is also noted fact that the other dry
towns of the State have shown wonder
full growth and progress, while 1t IS .
matter of frequent comment that the
wet towns of the State have had very
little growth and improvement.
