EVERYTHING GOING "DRY."

Bannock county has gone dry by
about 100 majority, the "wets" be-
ing ahead only 304 in Pocatello which
is their stronghold Canyon county
went dry last week by large major
ity, Nampa, the home of the ''wets'
casting only 20 more votes than the
"drys."
Idaho county was voted dry and
Ada, Fremont, and Elmore are about
| to vote with bright prospects of go
+ ing dry. Bingham will go dry next
Wednesday after a hard fight.
The following Is taken from the
Idaho Register:
Taxes in Kansas City
The first twenty-five months OF no
license in Kansas City, Kansas, has
been amply sufficient to demonstrate
to any reasonably-minded person, the
economic value OF dry city. Despite
the general business depression all
over the country during these twenty
two months, the banks of Kansas City
estimate that the saving of the peo-
Iple under the no-license plan Is about
two and half million dollars an
Inually. During the twenty-five months
that the city has been under no-li-
cense, the bank deposits have increas-
ed rs per cent.
The declaration made by the liquor
forces when the saloons and joints
were abolished, almost two years ago,
that the grass would grow In Kansas
City street, and that large business
interests would avoid the city, has not
materialized, since twenty-seven new
factories have been established during
the dry period and a large number Of
new buildings have been erected, and
the post Office receipts increased Is
per cent the first year.
The increase in assessed values on
property for the first year was $685.
F610, and the tax rate was reduced 20
cents on the 800 of assessed valua-
tion. During the last year, Kansas
City has paid off $245,000 Of It's bond
ed Indebtedness. The records Of the
city show less crime, less poverty and
less suffering of every kind, and in
stead of the city being depopulated, 1t
has 1900 more people than when
the saloons and joints were abolished.
