Anti Prohibition
arguments

The result of the approaching To-
cal option election should not be left
either with the extreme and radical
prohibitionists or those interested in
the liquor traffic. but to the larger
class of citizens. the backbone of ev-
cry community, who are independent
and liberal Ia their views on all sub
jects.
To this important class we invite
attention to the fact that many re-
form laws designed to give the pub
lie more stringent control and reg
uiation of the liquor business have
been enacted by the state legislatures
In recent years. namely: The sun
day closing law; the law prohibiting
the sale of liquor to minors, or to
intoxicated persons; the law fixing
the annual license at $3.50 per year
In addition to this state legislation we
have In the city of Grangeville ordi-
nances fixing the city license at $12O
per year, making the total license
1870 In Grangeville: limiting the num-
Der of licenses issued to one for every
500 of the population. These laws
have the support of the people and
can be enforced If complaint is filed
with the city officials. Believing In
the strict enforcement of these laws
rather than a fruitless and expensive
effort to enforce. the radical measure
now before the people of Idaho coun-
ty, and which will not receive the
support of the general public, we de-
sire to call the attention of the bus
mess community to the issues.
The towns of Idaho county are as
quiet and orderly as those of anv
section of the country. wet or dry.
and the moral conditions will not be
Improved in the least by so-called pro-
hfbition. The experiment will be
very expensive to the taxpayers, and
we can we'll afford to wait and profit
by the experience of those sections
or the northwest where the experi-
ment Is now being tried. and also wait
the opinion of the courts which are
now considering the validity of the
new law.
We call attention to the conditions
In Grangevllie and the probable eff
feet of prohibition here. because those
of other towns are probably the same.
The city of Grangeville and the
school district will be seriously handi-
capped financially before the close of
the present fiscal year If prohibition
prevails. The Grangeville schools re-
ceive sS.4s0 per year from saloon H.
eenses, and with a ten mill tax levy
nine months school is maintained as
the law requires in independent
school districts Under the present
law students from all parts of the |
county are admitted to the high
school grades without charge for tni- |
tion, so that when pupils have passed |
the grade of the country schools tbev
come here and finish In the high
sehool or prepare for entering the UNI
iVersity If the schools are deprived

whatever to do with local option, but
is to determine whether this county
shall have prohibition or not We
have had local option legislation on
our statute books fr several years
and the county commissioners have
authority to close every saloon in the
county by refusing to reissue licenses.
just as they did in the town of Clear
water last spring. Latah county is
dry under this law No election
was held The county commissioners
simply refused to issue licenses. The
same thing can be done in Idaho
county. The new law simply gives
us the option of voting at this election
whether we will or will not have pro-
hlbltion. The oily gentlemen who
manage the prohibition campaign in
ldaho county are trying to mislead
the people as to the issue involved
Business conditions in the towns of
Nez Perce, Moscow, Pullman and Gull
desac are held up as shining exam
pies for us to follow, but the business
conditions in these towns suggest a
rat that we should desire to shun. All

The city government receives So

the deficiency under prohibition The
additional levy for city and school
purposes would increase the total tax
levy in Grcngeville for all purposes To

the rate in any town in the coun rv,
and make us notorious for high taxes.
1t would also discourage building i'm

rate of taxation on brick blocks, and IT
would deareciate the value of every
town lot and keen out investors
Many of us might be willing to
make the sacrifice of these fina aeial
interests II 1t could be shown that
the moral standing of our city and
county would be improved thereby.

vestigation prove the reverse to be
true.
ton, as it takes in voters who h w.
no interest whatever in the towns or
school districts where the business Is
done, and where large majority of
the population may be opposed to the
law, making 1t difficult to enforce.
1t is far easier to enforce prohibition
on the Indian reservation than else>
where, for the reason that the ac-
|cused are taken from the reservation
country to Moscow. tried by a Judge
appointed by the president, and by a
jury drawn from all parts of the

many of whom are opposed on prin-
ciple to such law and will not be-
come party to its enforcement. Fur
thermore, the U. government bears
all the expenses of such prosecutions
and has the detective force of the gov
eminent at its disposal. Only re-
Gently the county commissioners of
Latah county appropriated $500 to
pay for detective work alone In that
county.

The law now before the people e,r

II there are occasional examples of
drinking to excess. there is a law to
govern such cases. Those who ex-
pect perfection in mankind are DOOM

ulate gentlemen who are running the

which some have for drink is fault
that Is open and above board, and
such are not SO numerous as those
who indulge in secret SIM"
The prohibitionists claim that the
loss of the $4,000 of license money
paid by the saloons would be offset
by the saving of expense to the coun.
ty for criminal prosecutions arising
from the sale of liquor. Reference to
the criminal calendar of Idaho county
shows that there was not single
criminal case before the last term of
the district court. Can any dry
county beat that? We venture the
prediction that the first term of dis
trict court under prohibition will be
confronted with criminal cases as the
result of the operation of this tyran-
n1cai law. and that these prosecutions
will cost the county large sums of
money, and that few If any convic-
lions Will be had. The taxpayers of
the reservation and the county at
large will then find that the United
states government is not paying the
cost of these prosecutions, as 1t does
In the reservation cases. and that the
expense of holding the local option
election Is the mere beginning of what
Is to follow year after year.
The prohibition literature" that Ia
being circulated is not based upon ac.
tuai conditions. but are the theories
or visionary dreamers who manufac-
ture their alleged facts" to suit their
theories. They tell us that they have
never taken drink. never were in |

us all about the liquor business. II

Where can the $4,000 paid to the
Grangeville schools and the city gov
eminent be made un in a saving in
expenses under prohibitions? We
have only two policemen, and cannot
get along with less in any cases. The
expenses of prosecution is more than
covered by the fines collected under
the present law, because the sentiment
of the people is supporting the law,
| and there are convictions in practical
~ every case that Is tried, the city
having police judge and attorney

ing the law. can the school ex-
penses be reduced?
1t is claimed that a majority of the
divorce cases are based upon intem-
perance. The complaints filed in the
twenty odd cases now on the court
docket of this county do not bear out
the assertion. Few of the plaintiffs
allege drunkenness as the ground of
complaint. Why not be governed by
the facts which come under our own
observation rather than lipe dream
stories manufactured and imported
for the occasion?
Prosecutions under the proposed
prohibition law must be in the dis
trict court only, and the accused must
be held over all the way from one to
six months for trial, adding largely
to the expense of such prosecutions.
as many of them must be held in
Jail.

Personal friends knew of the en-

that no formal announcements of the
engagement had been made, it was
thought that the wedding would not

was also expected that the wedding
