highest, by the way, in the history Of
Dallas-this paper strongly objected 70
it as excessive and unnecessary. For
this mistake on our part, we desire TO
apologize to the council 1t is now
evident that the levy is not too high,
but on the contrary. that il is not high
enough. With s240O deducted from
the city revenue each year, it will be
necessary 70 make up the deficiency
by taxing real and personal property.
and, possibly. by adopting an occupa-
tion tax. The Observer will not object
to either, or both. forms Of higher
taxation; neither will it admit that
Dallas cannot get along without the
saloon license. The point We wish 70
make is that. having cut of one impor-
tant source Of revenue, the city will be
obliged to adopt one Of two plans
either dispense with some Of the pres
eut public coDvenienoes and improve
meDts, or increase the taxes. A con-
dition and not theory confronts us.

The voters Of Polk county having
decided to prohibit the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors 10 the county, it is their
duty to see that their wish is obeyed,
and that the county is made dry In
fact as we'll as 10 name. Let no one
shirk his share Of this dutv and
responsibility, imagining that the
task will be light one, for 1t will not.
1t will not be sufficient now for the
private citizen to sit back and throw
the whole responsibility on the
shoulders Of the officers, claiming
that he has done his whole duty In
voting liquor out Of the county. No
officer, however faithful, can effectu-
ally enforce law unless public seDti-
ment is behind him, and the way TO
keep liquor from being sold unlaw-
fully is for every citizen to assist in
enforcing prohibition. The licensed
dealer is easily watched, as his place
Of business is open TO the public at all
hours, but the Illicit traffic is OF an
entirely different character. The
Observer has its opinions on the local
option question, and has not hesltated
TO express them neither has 1t had any
reason to change them but now, that
the people have said by their votes
that tFe licensed saloon must go and
that the sale Of liquor for beverage
purposes must cease In Polk county,
this paper will do all In its power to
aid In enforcing the law, both In letter
and In spirit. Enforcing the law under
the new conditions, however, will not
be easy. Let no one be deceived into
thinking that 1t will. For this reason,
1t will be the duty OF every man who
has voted to bring about these new
conditions 10 work as earnestly and
diligently to enforce the law as he did
to pass the law. In this way, and this
way only, can the advocate of temper
ance prove his sincerity to the cause
OF temperance.
