Waking Up at Last

The recent election has not left the anti-quor
ment dead of its enemies would faln believe,
says the Fort Wayne Sentinel At all events there are
now afoot plans to create country wide organization
to defeat prohibition The brewers and dstlers with
the manufacturers and dealers in all commodities that
into the liquor traffic, and retailers and hotel men,
are designed for consolidation in this great militant
anti prohibition movement.
circular recently sent out forth the purposes of
this aggressive campaign 1t asks the active support
of the Manufacturers and Dealers League The objects
of the league officially set FORTH to secure by or
ganizaton protection against the forces representing
the prohibition movement who making unwarranted
attacks and trying destroy the brewing bottling,
loon and hotel industries of this country which, II sue
cessfu would affect every line OF business and cause the
greatest panic this country has ever seem
1.-The Work of Fanatics
The circular then describes the prohibition movement
as the work of few fanatics, who have given this
matter serious consideration, and who cannot the
great harm they would do if they destroyed these in
dusres and great many OF whom are not actuated by
the highest purposes, have been endeavorng to force
their views upon the great majority Of the people OF
this country.
''These fanatics says the circular, can only be
checked by the efforts Of thoughtful who, from
their commercial standpoint realize the dis
astrous effect prohibition would have upon the commu
ny Therefore, the manufacturers and dealers, whose
business is in any way allied with the brewing bottng
hotel or saloon business have been forming organizations
in all the principal cities and states for the purpose OF
combating prohibition and to show to the people OF
this country by statistical and historical facts that can
not be contradcted the flacy and Hypocrisy OF pro-
hbition.'
Meanwhile prohibition of the liquor traffic by some
process goes constantly forward Ohio is becoming rap
idly ''dry'' by the county option process Progress
along that line will soon begin in Indiana Evidently,
the consolidated liquor traffic interests see in the next
logical step not only prohibition Of the retail dispen
sarv of LIQUOR but the place of it's manufacture.
Beginning to Grasp the Idea
The foregoing editorial from leading daily OF the
Hooser state is only of many newspaper articles
being printed from day to day, which clearly indicate
that the liquor interests at last sitting up and taking
notice of the fact that this against the saloon is no
midsummer nights dream and child play but the
most formidable movement OF modern times

Organizing in Rockford
The following from the Rockford Republic throws adj
dtonal light this subject:
Local sentiment regarding the liquor question is
considerably aroused the report that
paign behalf of the liquor interests is to be
started in this city.
'EJust what form the agitation is to take is not
known, but prominent members Of the local option
forces have been informed that meeting of the
National Liquor League is to be held in Chicago
in January, with the express purpose Of campaign
ing against the advance Of dry territory in Illinois,
with Rockford objective point.
"This League is holding convention in
Washington and, according to Rockford MEMBERS
it was officially reported that the Of opposition
throughout the country to the liquor trade is
ceding. The consensus Of opinion expressed at the
convention that the best interests of the liquor
trade would be conserved by having the number of
saloons limited according to population and this in
all probability will be done.
Resolutions were also adopted declaring that
the industry has been over-legislated, over-abused
and over-taxed in the furtherance of creed or cult
that is basically un-American and at absolute vari-
with every principle of liberty civic righteous

Want League Extended
Another resolution passed urging the
cessity for continuance and extension of the or
ganization. 1t further resolved that the Anti
Saloon League is menace to good government, the
quietude Of communities and vested property
rights, and exists for other purpose than to pro-
vide occupation and revenue for the members Of
close corporation by the processes of perpetual ag
tation and that local option is but another
for prohibition and is equally confiscatory in it's

New Method of Collecting Taxes.

Only q voters attended the special
town and village meetings at the Town
Hall Monday morning when it was voted
to have the taxes paid into the town and
village treasury for 80 days and then
have all uncollected taxes turned over
to the constable. -,
Harry H. Carr presided at the special
town meeting and after resembling the
vote of the last town meeting in respect
to the discount on taxes the following
resolution was introduced by l.. +. Slack:
Resolved That all taxes imposed and
assessed upon the property in and the
taxpayers OF the town of St. Johnsbury
for the year A. D. 1908, and thereafter
until otherwise voted. be collected by
the treasurer of the town of st. ohns-
bury and that the tax bills be made and
delivered to the treasurer OF the town OF
St. Johnsbury for collection.
MIR. Slack said in explanation that TINS
was one of the methods provided by law
for the collection of taxes and that 1t
had already been adopted in many places
in the state He believed this method
had given satisfaction wherever adopted
and thought it would be good method
for St. Johnsbury to try, especially as
there was no tax collector at the present
time.
John Mcdonald vigorously opposed
the adoption of this resolution, favorinig
the election of tax collector that would
collect the taxes of the poll taxpayer
who otherwise might escape ii left tor
him to call on the treasurer. He cited
the fact that there were some $50, 900 I'M
collected taxes now and intimated that
there was ring that was running our
local affairs
The resolution was adopted with only
one opposing vote.
AT the special village meeting which
followed the same resolution was adopt
ed with reference to having taxes paid
to the village treasurer.
