The new denatured alcohol plant

pie that are now employed by the
need be no unemployed when the re-
monstrance wins. The Richmond
Safety Gate Company. employing
thirty people will have to import Its
labor for everybody here now has a
job.
OF course we will be told that the
poor mans home will have to pay
more. taxes If the saloons are closed
and 1t is true In part The county be-
ing rich and having money In the
bank can lose its $500 per year re-
ceived from the saloons and not miss
1t. The city would hereafter derive
an annual income of $4,000 from nine
teen saloons which, on property vail
ued at $7,260,000 for taxation would
cost a man less than $500 per year on
each $1,000 of his assessed valuation
or approximately $3.50 per year 90
what his property is actually worth.
The woman whose husband cashes a
s12.0O pay check in the saloon Satur-
day night, bringing $500 home, would
probably be willing to pay the $3.50
per year if something could only be
done that would attach $1,000 worth of
taxable property to her family. Other
women will gladly raise the $3.50 once
a year to know that there is less temp
tation down town for their sons to
face. Il
L.
of money which is now spent forbooze
in Marshalltown will be spent for some
thing else if the booze Is shut out. AT
present it amounts to 100000 annually
in this city. This volume of business
would support In iMarshalltown two
new dry goods stores, each doing $780,
900 worth of business annually, two
new clothing stores, each selling $685.
900 annually two new shoe stores
each selling $4,000 annually, three new
grocery stores, each selling $4,000 an
nually and two new meat markets
selling $4,000 annually each. These
eleven stores would employ more peo-
pie than are now employed by the sa-
looms, workingmen's families would be
better fed and better clothed by just
the amount of merchandise that elev-
en- stores could handle in twelve
months time. At Kansas City. Kan
this was the actual experience of the
merchants two years ago.
