which would bring the total of all
their sales up to $3s2,600.
The actual amount of money which
must be made up In one year by the
citizens of Kankakee to support the
AZ saloons is $92.600-to say nothing
of the crime and the court expenses
which their business makes.
The average cost Of each saloon In
Kankakee is $S,35319. One Of our
city directories gives the population
Of Kankakee at 1850; If that Is cor
rect, then we have one saloon to every
'416a Inhabitants (Which would include
every man, woman and child living
in Kankakee), which means that every
416 persons must make up $S,35319 to
support one saloon.
According to the above figures
which have been taken from the sa-
loonkeepers' Facts for taxpayers OF
Kankakee to consider" yes, accord
ing to- the saloonkeepers' own facts. y
5000 is required per capita to support
the saloons Of Kankakee in order to
get their license revenue Of $1.20 per
capita.
Without saloons we would only pay
$2.06 per capita toward our city tax
but we are paying $17.s9 in addition
to the $2.06 per capita to support the
saloons of our city.
Our city is paying $3s2,6oo to sup
port the saloons, and we only need
! $40.45S.95 to pay for the tax in Kan
kakee, but our city pays $352,141.05 in
addition to the sum needed for our
tax.
Why should we spend $392,600 in
order to get $23,500 license money
when in reality the license money
comes directly from the pockets OF
our taxpayers, and in most cases from
those least able to afford It? The
drunkard's family pays the most H.
cense tax. Look at the drunkard's
wife, who is wearing her life out
over the dashboard. What is she do
ing? She is paying the tax. Look at
the drunkard's children, hungry and
half clad What are they doing? They
are paying the license tax. Shall that
continue? Not by my vote!
CITIZEN OF KANKAKEE
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-05-01

In round numbers these nine great
powers take and constantly keep -four
million men from useful production
Including those who are working In
shops and factories, employed In the
creation of army supplies there are
five million people, of the very flower
and pick of the world. engaged in mill
tary duty.
| Let the further fact be noted that
| where man is taken from useful pro-
duction, some one has to work to sup
| port him.
The worst Of war or war service
| is that the soldier is ruined man. w
T. Stead says, -Four out OF five Of all
English soldiers who serve for two
years or more are tainted by venereal
| disease"
To a great degree population Is re-
produced by the weak, the old and the
unfittest.
The most awful feature of war is
not the loss Of life on the field Of bat
tie or death in the hospitals, but II
is that the men who return come back
demoralized with disease and transmit
disease and the tendencies Of degener-
alton to the unborn.
| Fear. greed and vanity are the three
things which stand In the way Of dis
armament But the thinking people
Of the world are beginning to see that
the perpetuity Of the race demands the
abolition of war.
If individuals cannot agree we dc
not allow them to get together out In
the street and battle with each other
That might prove which was the
stronger man but 1t would not prove
who was right in the question at issue
Justice is not to be reached through
violence We elect supervisors to look
after the affairs Of each county. and
II counties disagree they find their
remedy in the state courts. If states
disagree they carry the case to the
United States court.
| But If countries disagree we return
to violence and straightwey destroy
life and property in order that equity
may reign.
| Among all savage tribes there Is q
goodly degree Of consideration for the
individual members Of the tribe, GER
tain standard of justice and ethics. The
American Indians do not maltreat their
women, nor abuse their children. In
fact corporal punishment Is looked
upon with great disfavor. Savages
have Golden Rule, too. But 1t applies
only to members of the family or tribe
just as our Golden Rule does not apply
| to outside nations
My plea is for a Golden Rule that
will apply not only to our own country
not only to Christiandom, but to all the
world.
The absurdity of avowed violence
between nations that DANGEROUSLY pro.
claim themselves christians" Is toe
evident to discuss. If two countries
can make an arrangement" limiting
the matter of armament and this ar
rangement holds for a hundred years
cannot nine countries do the same? AL
that is then needed Is few soldiers tt
do police duty. Nations cannot AFFORD
to be savages any more than individ
uals.-The Philistine.

THE EXPOSITION
Work on Observation-Disclosures Expo
sitiOn IL Being Rushed.

Seattle, April 2S.-The Alaska-Yu-
kon Poetic exposition which will be
held in Seattle, opening June / and
closing October Is, 1902 is now fifty
per cent completed Since ground was
formally broken for the big Pacific
worlds fair on June 1, 1907, the work
on the exposition has been rushed by
the management. That the exposition
will be completed in every detail on it's
opening day Is ssured by the fact that
the work Is now six months ahead Of
that of the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland, which was ready for Wis
| itors when the gates swung open.
All the work of the grading and
clearing, the cutting and laying out
of avenues, circles and plazas has been
| finished and most of the large build
ings and many small ones have been
| started or contracted for. The Admin
istration building has been finished for
eight months. The Manufacturers
building is ninety per cent completed,
while the Agriculture palace, twin
structure is rapidly nearing the fin.
| ishing- touch stage. Three permanent
buildings are in course of erection.
These are the Auditorium, Fine Arts
palace and Machinery Hall. The latter
is about ready to have its ROOF PIT on.
The emergency hospital has been turn
ed over to the management by the con-
tractor for some time, while the fire
1 department station is going up in a
hurry The Mines and Fisheries build
ings have been started. and contracts
have been let for the finishing Of the
decorative features, such as the huge
geyser fountain basin and the cas-
cades. The first state building to be
started is that of Oregon. The Bea-
yer states structure will be completed
within the next month.
The other large buildings planned
for by the management will be started
| as soon as the plans are finished. These
buildings include the Forestry, Trans
portation, Education and Foreign
building. = The architects are now bus
| lily engaged in making plans for the
statuary, band stands, electrical dis
plays, fountains, and other such fea-
lures. Many other state buildings will
be begun in the near future. while
many Snndiler STRUCTURES are DinB pan
ned for by different interests.
Exhibit space in some Of the build
ings is already taken. In other build
ings 1t is being reserved for govern
ments and states. More than 1000 ap-
plications have been received from the
leading American and foreign firms
Fifty per cent Of the entire exhibit
space has been applied for.
Ten large concessions have been let
4 ont Of possible thirty in all. Besides
these there will be many small ones
on the Pay Streak, the amusement
| boulevard.
/ From authentic reports received
from Washington, ID. c., 1t is learned
by the management that the bill ap
propriating s75o,ooo for the govern
ment's participation in the exposition
will pass this session Of congress. Il
will probably become part Of the sun
dry civil bill through a senate amend
ment Many additional states hav'
signified their intention Of taking par
when their legislatures meet again.

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS AND PAYS
state ment by the Mayor of Watseka,
Illinois.

I have been requested to make
statement concerning conditions here
under anti-license administration Our
city of oyer three thousand popula-
ton, the county seat of the third larg-
est county in the state in point of
area, is having it's third consecutive
anti-license administration. For years
prior to 1903 the vote was so close that
license and anti-license were alter
nately successful with great regular
ity. The anti-license majority of SO
at the last election was the largest
in the past thirty years, and there is
general feeling here that the ques-
ton is settled with us for all time.
1 think credit for the large majority
is chiefly due to the radical change of
sentiment among our business men.
In 1908 I do not believe five per cent
of them could have been induced to
make a signed statement favorable to
anti-license. In the last election such
a statement to be put In print, was
signed by over rs per cent of them,
and others openly complained because
for lack of time, they were not given
an opportunity to sign.
Our business men seem well salts
fed with present conditions They say
trade has steadily increased, that
credits are safer, collections easier,
and that the number of out of town
customers, farmers and residents Of
smaller towns, has shown a. marked
increase. do not think one of those
who have changed could be found who
would be willing to go back to old
conditions.
The decrease in loafing. drunken
ness, want and crime is SO noticeable
as to be a matter Of frequent comment
among all classes of our citizenship.
BY voting out saloons we lost an an
nual revenue of 10000, but the loss
has not been noticeable; municipal
business has been more carefully and
economically administered, the making
Of public improvements has gone
steadily forward, considerable
amount Of Indebtedness left by the H.
cense administration has been paid,
and our last administration went out
of office with all business in splendid
shape, debts paid and handsome bal
ance in the treasury, a thing unknown
under license administrations.

Closing of saloons VIII Invite Factor
les, Says A. Il. Gibson.
Caldwell, Idaho, April Is, 1908.
Mr.. o. H. Barber,
American Falls, Idaho.
4Iy Dear Barber:-I want to congrat-
ulate you, and Trough you the people
of American Falls for the stand taken
on the saloon question.
Aside from being right and in line
with the trend Of the times, am sure
that your community can do nothing
that will benefit it so much in the long
run as the prohibition Of the liquor
traffic. I speak from an observation
extending over many years. have
lived in a prohibition town and know
the effect upon the business. as well as
upon the morals and general welfare.
Your people need have no fears that
closing the saloons will work injury
to the best interests of the community.
It will be a capital advertisement
for you and one Of the strongest in
ducements for those to locate there
who may be seeking point for manu-
featuring and other industrial lines.
Those who employ large NUMBERS OF
rren, whether skilled or unskilled do
not want saloon Influences around
them any more than do those who are
rearing families. That is certain, and
is shown by the attitude Of the great
corporations and manufacturing estab-
lishments. The heads of these know
that the traffic is menace to the eff
cheney of the men and source of dan
ger to the peace Of the community
The tendency, and in fact the policy
is to seek locations where there will
be freedom from such influences.
I feel, therefore, that your young
and promising city has taken step
that is certain to have an important
bearing upon it's future. 1t Is, fur
theremore, timely, in view of the ma
tion-wide movement for the overthrow
of the saloon.
For years the Gem State Rural has
been outspoken on the question, ano
I now rejoice to have your excellent
paper-the Press doing signal ser
vice along the same line.
Again I congratulate you
Sincerely yours
A. e. GIBSON.
