ARE SALOONS AGoEssARY2
The Question Analysed From Pure
ly Business Standpoint by
Boyd +. Doty

In this day of extraordinary bust
ness and commercial activity, the
standard of money value seems to
be applied to every proposition and
enterprise. Even the advocates Of
foreign missions have taken to the
argument that money expended by
America in the preaching of the gos-
pei in foreign lands is a good finan-
cial investment. Some people have
deprecated this tendency to measure
everything by the gold standard but
1t is not the purpose Of this article
to discuss fhether or not it is right
or wrong, good or bad policy to view
reforms and enterprises of every
character, from the dollar standpoint,
but rather to meet conditions as they
are and answer the question at the
head of this article.
To every man engaged in business
in town containing saloons comes
the argument from those opposed to
voting out these institutions. that If
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1909-09-17

the saloons are abolished the town
will lose the revenue from them,
the tax rate win be increased, bust
ness will decline and there will be a
positive decrease in the volume of
business done and consequently loss
of profit. Is this true?
Taking up these claims In their
order, we will turn our attention
first to the question of revenue. The
revenue is raised from several sources
by direct taxation upon real and
personal property and from special
fees. saloon licenses and f'neY. Which
of these sources of income would be
decreased? The amount of revenue
derived from direct taxation upon
the real and personal property de-
ponds upon tne val,ction Of the
property. Will town TAFT votes
dry" lower or increase tho amount
of taxable property that is the
question. The amount of taxable
property depends upon the ability Of
the earning class to earn money and
the inclination to make permanent
investments.
If the town has saloons will meE
earn more or less money than in
dry" town and for what will they
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1909-09-17

spend ii when once it is earned? Ii
Will be seen that this analysis brings
us down to the fundamental ques-
tion,--Will saloons help meu to earn
more money and will it result in the
accumulation of property of assess
able value? The answer would seem
to be seif-evioent There is a law of
physics that two bodies cannot &C.
cupy the same space at the same
time. The converse is likewise true
that one body cannot occupy two
spaces at the same time. 1t Is per-
fectly clear that IL men spend their
money in the saloons they will not
have it to spend with the grocery
man, the boot and shoe dealer, the
dry goods merchant and the hard
ware dealer. They cannot buy lum-
Der nor stone, nor will they have
m oney to build houses, nor will they
be able to add to the material and
permanent improvements of the city
They must be forever lighting to
keep the wolf from the door, or
rather they are 4elping to keep the
wolf from the saloon keepers door,
and then allow the community and
the charity of friends to drive the
beast from their door In every

A Brief Review of the Rapid and
Healthy Growth of A Live
Town.

Little Mountain is product of the.
energy and determination which have
builded the New South on the ruins
left bv the War Between the States.
It was just twenty years ago last Oc-
tober that the first business was 'es-
tablished in Little Mountain, sur
rounded by fields Of cotton and corn
and potatoes. At that time the build
ine Of the Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens railroad was, being agltated,
but it's construction had not yet be-
gun. Two years later the road was
completed to Newberry, and today,
after the lapse Of only a decade. Llt-
tlp Mountain is one of the most thnv-
! ;nr towns along this line Of railway.
Not only has the growth Of the town
been rapid, but it has been substan-
tial. The foundations are solid. And,
backed by some Of the best and most
fertile farming lands in South Caro-
lima surrounding it on all sides, and
pushed forward by business men who
hare at once conservative and energet-
&c. and who are public spirited, this
Rrowth will continue steady and
Eealthy.
