A strieter Penalty.

Therefore the only way, If prohibit

our legislatures to increase the penal

drink and to punish more severely
those who are in the liquor business
when they become disobedient in the
conductions of their interests, the
speaker advocated.

to win a victory for the anti-saloon

Superintendent Barber said that
Row we have come to the cold hard
facts of the matter about the exist
ence CT the saloon and action is nee
essary if this business be forever
stricken from the list of other bust
nesses in the state of Iowa. 1t is diff
fcult to get man into tn church
who is used to the outer world and
convince him that the liquor business
is disastrous to the welfare OF other
business life. Citing the instance OF
states that have recently come into
the union and the question of liquor
or no liquor (which confronted the
applicant for statehood, the speaker
told OF Oklahoma which was admitted
prohibition, the advances that has
been made by this one of the latest
territories to become state.
Increases Crime.
Today the saloon element obtains
no consolation from the supreme
courts of the various states Go to
those of Iowa. Indiana, Missouri. and
the legislative and law making bodies
agree that liquor is the cause Of dis
ease, misery pauperism and Grimm
atty. A well known judge in the
state of Misscl ri said in speaking re-
Gently that the sale OF liquor \ any
state creates disorder and casts upon
the taxpayer generally, the added bur-
den of the cost OF prosecution and the
payment OF an increased police force.
The supreme court of Iowa says
that nine-tenths of all crime springs
from the liquor traffic, which means
expense to the public and the same
fact is admitted by the judicial body
of the state of Illinois. There is no
law which gives a citizen of the
state or United States, the right to
sell liquor.

Gas BILL GOES TO COURT
Officials and Lawyers Agree Amount
Must Be Thus Determined.
AVAILABLE FUNDS ARE SHORT
Acting Mayor Burmester Thinks the
City and Gas Company should
Have No Trouble in Coming
90 an Agreement.

Assistant City Attorney Dunn and other
officials say that the decision of the state
supreme court on the Omaha gas case,
with Thomas w. Blackburn as plaintiff in
tervenor simply means that the amount
now due the Omaha Gas company must be
Nscertained in court.
Former Councilman Harry Zimman and
Weaver & Giller, who handled the suit
and were attorneys for Mr.. Blackburn
from the start, contend that this finding
will have to be made by court and jury.
City Comptroller Lobeck has funds on
hand to the amount OF $l42, ss1.s1, available
Tor the payment OF any money that may be
allowed the Omaha Gas company, by the
court. The bills of the Gas company now

Thus there is a deficit OF sl.s5O.45 in the

claimed by the company.
The Gas company's bills do not include
