THE COST OF SALOONS

Phoenix "A. T., votes on local OPP
ton May 2, AID a hot campaign is
on. The saloon element undertakes
to show in its advertisements that
there will b. 100000 ''loss' to the
city and citizens by a of prohi-
bition. The advertisement is headed,
1.-The Cost of Prohibition" and the
s45 900; rents for torres and resi-
dences, $34, 900; electric light and gas
bills for saloons, $40, 900; ice and
cold storage bills, $19, 900; annual
salaries of saloon employees $4,000
The item should have been headed
"The Cost of Saloons" and then it
would have told but a small part of
the truth. The idea that the commu-
nifty would close" any such amount
by reducing the humble of saloons is
grotesque.-El Paso Herald.
Right you are. 1t is just like the
tariff, The consumer of liquor pays
all the salaries, rents, license, profits
and expenses of the saloon men ex-
cept the costs of criminal cases in
the courts, which are paid by the just
and unjust alike. Every dollar that
is spent for whisky is worse than
thrown away. Twenty-Five or thirty
cents of it nay come back into the
channels of legitimate trade from the
saloon men. But it would be much
better for the local merchant if the
man who earned the dollar had spent
the whole dollar for groceries, dry
goods or clothing for himself and
family.

AMARILLO
KNOCKERS

The people of Amarillo are still
somewhat mixed on the stockmen's
convention. While they expect most
anything to come along with their
usual west winds, they did not really
wake up to an apprehension of what
had blown in from the Pecos Valley
until the Roswell boosters with their
ve1tion cinched and were on their
way home. The Daily Panhandle, Of
Amarillo, says, e~ditorially:
after some manipulation, the ma
ture of which we are not aware, it
has been decided to hold the next
convention at Roswell, New Mexico.
The Panhandle Stockmen's conve1-
ton might just as well he held in
New York as in New Mexico. Be rea-
sonable. 1t is not identified with
New Mexico; it has no business in
New Mexico, and the men who used
the means instrumental in placing
it in New Mexico are not friends of
the Panhandle, nor of the stockmen
of the Panhandle.
There are many staunch, true AM
tried stockmen, friends of the Pan
handle and of the Stockmen's Asso-
citation who have denounced the I'M
