EVEN STATES SHOULD
NOT DO INJUSTICE

An old question under a new form
is rapidly coming to the front in the
states adopting statewide prohibition
and forbidding the manufacture of
liquor within their boundaries,
The majority of these states since
their organization have recognized
the liquor traffic as legal and legiti-
mate under their laws of regulation
and control.
The brewerles and distilleries paid
Federal taxes, state taxes, municipal
taxes, and their business was guar
anteed federal, state and municipal
protection when conducted in ac-
cordance with federal, state and
municipal laws.
Many persons under these condi-
tions invested their money in the
business, some operating as individ-
uals, others as members of firms,
and yet others as stockholders in
corporations engaged in the trade,
| or. as some. call it, the traffic.
Many persons holding stock in such
corporations are residents of other
states than those in which said cor
porations do business. Some hold
bonds secured by mortgage upon the
realty of the corporations or firms
and the value of such bonds is di
rectly and ruinously affected by the
action of the state prohibiting manu-
| facture or sale.
Now comes both a legal and equit
able question. Has the state the
right to destroy the values of invest
ment in business that for years Il
has recognized as legal and giver
investors protection, inviting invest
ment by such recognition and pro
lection? Has it the right to arbi
trarily destroy the values of those
investors without recourse, withou
compensation and without notice
sufficiently long in time as to enable
them to withdraw without loss
Granted the state is supreme in al
public affairs; granted that it cal
: appropriate any realty by condemna
tion for public use. 1t cannot do 81
without compensation to the owne
or owners of such realty.
Can it then so legislate as to de
stroy the values of improved realt
by taking away the right TO use
, for the purposes for which it wa
improved and thus deprive the owT
ers of one half or three fourths o
: nine tenths of their values, and d
this without compensation to ther
f in any form or any manner? We d
not think SO. We do not believe
is legal; we know it is not equitable
The state may not confiscate witt
e out cause. 1t is virtual confiscatio
to deprive. citizens of values legal
acquired without redress or compel
q sation. Even the state cannot a
= ford to do injustice. 1t is plain an
g palpable injustice to invite inves
! ments by years of legislation and
:, confscate those investments withou
compensation to those injured.
f Concede the liquor traffic to be a
Il evil; two wrongs do not make
, right.

MANUFACTURERS SAY PRoHIRI.
TION iS A DETRIMENT
TO EAST LIVERPOOL.

Testimony of citizens who have
lived in local option towns any length
of time is of value in determining
whether prohibition really prohibits
and whether it is a detriment or a
benefit to the community. The most
valuable testimony of this character
on record is that of the manufacture
ing potters Of East Liverpool, o. This
city OF $4,000 Inhabitants over II
months voted dry" Naturally East
Liverpool's citizens are in position
to state the effects of prohibition. AT
the recent election in Columbiana
county, East Liverpool latter its
dry" experience of II months) vot'
ed wet" by a decisive majority. The
testimony of its most prominent citi
zens and manufacturers is contained
in the following signed statement is
sued by them:
"We, the manufacturing potters ol
East Liverpool, know that prohibi-
ton has been a detriment to the
city of East Liverpool, and legitimate
hotel keepers and jobbers of the coun
try, who are consumers of a large
percentage of the product of East
LiverPool's industry.
1--WE are in favor of regulating the
liquor traffic in such a way that those
who disregard custom and law bC
eunbed without causing conhscatory
measures to be inflicted upon those
who are innocent"
Signed by twelve manufacturing
firms

STATES FINANCES CRIPPLED.
Loss of Saloon Revenue Will Cause
an Increase in State Tax Rate.

an Increase in State Tax Rate.
Gov. Judson Harmon's prediction
that unless the general assembly
made some provision for new reye-
nues the finances of the state would
suffer, is being verified. So, too, are
the expert statements of Rep. Will
liam e. Bense, of Ottawa county, who
has had over 20 years experience in
the financial operations of the state,
being vindicated.
This is shown by the report of
Treasurer of State d. S. Creamer,
which reveals that the surplus has
been reduced in the past year by
nearly $1,500,OO0. Both the governor
and Rep. Bense made it clear that it
would be practically impossible to
reduce the expenses because of the
growing demands from every public
institution, and insisted that no time
be lost in getting to work to meet
the inexorable deficit.
The loss of revenue can be charged
up In a great measure to the voting
out of the saloons In over 60 counties

To Try Growing of Eastern


The Pacific coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States For
est service is planning to introduce
n number of the more important east
ern hardwoods into California, and
will this year experiment with chest
nut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak ana
yellow poplar or tulip trees Smali
patches of these trees will be plant
ed near the forest rangers cabins on
the national forests, and IL these DO
well larger plantations on com
mercial scale will soon be established
On wider areas.
There are over 215 different spe-
cies of trees in California, a number
of which produce some OF the most
valuable varieties of lumber in the
country. Although considerably over
one-haIf of the species of hardwood
here ranking in commercial import
ance with the leading eastern hard
woods. Climatic conditions in many
parts of California are undoubtedly
favorable for the growth OF a mum
Der of the valuable hardwoods, and
the absence of these trees is due
mostly to unfavorable factors Of seed
distribution.
If the experiments are successful
a valuable asset will have been add
ed to the forest resources of this state
which should prove of special bene
6t to the local furniture and vehicle
industries. Chestnut and red OAK
are highly esteemed for furniture
while with hickory, basswood, and
eucalyptus at its command, Callfornis
should lead all other states in the
vehicle industry.

considering, it is recommended by
the Ohio Experiment Station that the
infested straw be burned at once and
that wherever possible old stubble
fields be burned over. Where clover
interferes with burning stubble,
loosen as much of the stubble as
possible with a hayrake or harrow,
and drag to the borders of the field
and burn, or burn in windroWs in
the field even is it be certain that
some clover will be killed. AT the
present outlook many localities in
Ohio are liable to suffer more from
this pest this summer than they did
last year.

MAY GRANT HOLIDAY
FOR FLORAL PARADE
PoStofice Considering Allow
ing Employees to See
Pageant.

The suggestion made several weeks
ago that the Government departments
close at noon Thursday, September 80.
the day Of the Chamber OF Commerce
automobile floral parade, today gavo
indications of being partially. at least,
realized
Assistant Postmaster ". A Merritt
has notified Chairman Isaac Cans that
the matter of allowing the carriers a
part holiday on that day to witness the
pageant is being considered. While
Mr.. Merritts letter does not say what
action may be taken. the fact that the
matter is being considered is regarded
as practically assuring the half noli-
day being granted.
While the postofhce will be the first
in all probability to put it's employees on
the half-holiday list, it is now gener-
ally believed that the District govern
ment will follow it's example, and that
the doors of the District building will
be closed after noon on the day OF
the parade. Commissioner West IS
known 20 have expressed himself as
being in favor Of the District govern
ness the parade, and there is little
doubt but that he will shortly take
steps to have the half holiday granted.
Commissioner West. who is vice
chairman OF the committee on arrange
ments, will preside over the meeting
of the committee at the Chamber Of
Commerce tonight, In the place Of
Chairman Cans. who is at Atlantic
City. Several important reports viii
be made, among which will be one by
Chairman Gallagher, Of the committee
on finance.
on Chairman Gallaghers report Il
is expected. a decision will be made
whether Pennsylvania avenue is to be
illuminated on the evening of the ma
rade. 1T is expected the matter Of form
Ing the parade will be considered.
