Usage is a fair example of wet
county. There is little or no crime
in that county. For every single
dollar of criminal costs expended
Usage County receives about ST 90
in dramshop license. The people
of that county obey the law and
are satisfied. Have you anything
to gain by forcing Statewide
Prohibition on the people Of that
county? To do so will be to de-
prive them of liberties which they
cherish, and to force upon an in
offensive, law abiding and pro-
gressive people, a law which the
great majority of them would re-
gard as an inexcusable and odious
tyranny. Don't you really believe,
away down in the bottom Of your
heart, that the people Of Usage
county have a moral right to settle
this question for themselvesP They
are not trying to dictate to any
dry county in this State. Why
should any dry county want to
dictate to Usage, in matter of this
kindp Other counties are in the
same position as Usage. Give them
a square deal.

A certain candidate for the Leg
islature in dry county is openly
opposing State wide Prohibition
from the stump, and this is what
he tells his people: "Several years
ago we held local option election
in this county and voted the sa-
looms out, and as most of you
know l did all l could to bring
about that result. The local op-
ton law is pretty thoroughly en-
forced in this county because a
majority of our citizens are behind
it. Now the people of st. Louis
come to us and say that a vast
majority of the residents of that
city are against Statewide Prohi-
bition. ssThey tell us that the enact
ment of this measure is certain to
result in a reign of dives and
joints and general lawlessness.
They insist that they will be utter
ly powerless to enforce a law
to which public sentiment is vio-
lently opposes: This appeal comes
to us from thousands of the lead
ing citizens and business men in
that great city-men who are as
far beyond the influence of the
brewers as our people are up here
and speaking for myself, I be-
lieve they know what they are
talking about. When we held our
local option election these people
did not interfere with us. They
permitted us to settle the question
as we saw fit, and l think they are
entitled to the same kind of a
square deal. They have never
harmed us. Why should we in
sist upon depriving them Of the
right of local self-government ana
force upon them an act which
means commercial and moral de-

VI p1' W
Tax rate in Prohibition towns
averages 81 per cent. more than in
license towns.
The above figures were gathered
from towns in Al states where con-
ditions other than excise were
equal. They conclusively prove
that prohibition creates higher
taxes and generally adds to the
cost of living.
One year after Atlanta was
voted "dry" the tax rate increased
40 per cent.
In 20 Kansas towns under State
wide Prohibition, the tax rate is as
high as S5.63 on 500.
In Birmingham, Ala, with the
advent of Prohibition, the city
authorities were compelled to
place special tax on every class
of business, from blacking boots
to the p ublic utility corporations,
said tax ranging from $3.50 to
sis, 900.

wide Prohibition should become a
law, enormous quantities Of liquor

Statewide Prohibition.

it as never before. State wide
Prohibition, as Bishop Tuttle said,
violates the sacred principle of
local self-government and there
fore it is not square deal.
Another thing which is driving
thousands of voters away from
Statewide Prohibition is the big
increase which it will cause in the
state tax, which amounts to ap-
proximately 45 cents on the S100
valuation. If it were possible to
put an end to the liquor traffic
many might be willing to make
this big sacrifce-but when it
means that hundreds of millions
of brewery property will be wiped
out in Missouri only to have it
shipped in by the train load from
the outside states, few are senti-
mental enough to voluntarily de-
prive the State Treasury of this
great source of revenue. The
words ''increase in state tax"
figure prominently in the report
from practically every county.
Without doubt the recent election
in Maine in which the Democratic
party was triumphantly successful
because it's platform was pledged
to re-submission of State wide
Prohibition and the fact that Ok
lahoma, after trial of only four
short years, will vote on a repeal
of an act of the same kind, is hav-
ing mighty SOLDERING effect upon
the average Missouri voter. Here
are concrete examples thousand
fold more eloquent and reliable
than the illusions OF any State
wide Prohibition orator. That
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican state platforms are pledged
to local option as against State
wide Prohibition has also had q
far reaching effect, for the average
party man believes in standing by
his platform on great public ques-
tions. These are the chief reasons
why, from present prospects, the
voters Of Missouri will refuse to
commit this state to policy on
| November Sth which would plunge
US into the same commercial and
political Generalization which
now characterizes such states as
Maine, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
{ Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi

The history of the Prohibition
fight in Tennessee is one of the
saddest stories that ever befell an
American commonwealth. Com
mercially and politically the State
is utterly demoralized. Property
values have deprecated in many
instances so per cent. and chaos
reigns everywhere, In a desperate
attempt to save the Democratic
State ticket from defeat by an in
dependent republican, "Fiddling
Bob" Taylor has been drafted in
the eleventh hour to make the race
for Governor--and what the result
will be no one can foretell. Don't

had betters'let we'll enough alone?"
Don't you think we are getting

ent local option system?

sentimenu Rapidly Changing.

Sentiment Rapidly Changing.
A careful poll has been taken
during the last ten days of prac-
tically every county in the state
and it shows that sentiment
against Statewide Prohibition is
steadily gaining in every section.
1t shows that many counties which
gave big majority for local op-
ton will give substantial ma
jority against Statewide Prohi-
bition. The comment of those
who went over the situation in the
different counties furnishes the
best reasons for this shift of pub
lie sentiment. In the first place
in every local option contest there
were hundreds in every county
who did not go to the polls tovote,
These 'ssilent" voters will take
hand in the game on the 9Th OF
November and eight out of ten OF
them are reported against the
Statewide idea. In the 76 coun-
ties which carried local option
there were 1929 who remained
away from the polls and they will
have to be figured with at the
coming election. Again, there are
thousands, taking the state over,
who voted for local option who are
opposed to Statewide Prohibition.
They believe in the right of local
self-government-that it is Unfair
to deny to the wet counties and
the large cities a right which they
exercised for themselves. Taken
all in all, there is no moro power
full factor against the Statewide
Prohibition Amendment than this
one. II it is fair to vote the whole
state dry it is equally fair to vote
the whole state wet. This is ar
argument which is absolutely un-
answerable and it is having q
tremendous effect all over Mis-
souri,. The average man believes
ia fairness between communities
as we'll as between men. We heal
a great deal about a"Square Deal

the existing laws afford them
ample power to alter their condi-
ton. The wet counties for the
most part, it may likewise be as
sumed,are satisfied with their own
adjustment of the proposition. If
they are not, or if in the future
they become dissatisfied with their
condition, the laws of Missouri
give them power to exclude the
saloon whenever they get ready to
do so. Is it not right and fair that
each county should vote as it
pleases on this proposition? But
in this election, although a wet
county may cast practically un-
animous vote against Prohibition,
if the Tenth Amendment shall re-
ceive majority Of the votes in the
whole state, the'wet county will be
voted dry. There are counties in
Missouri which have been wet
ever since the organization of the
State, and in which the sentiment
against Prohibition is almost un-
animous. To force Prohibitio n
upon such county amounts to a
disfranchisement of the people of
the wet county so far as this
question is concerned. Is it right?
Can any man contend for mo-
ment that it is fair? Is it rig ht
that Galloway County should die
tate to Franklin, or that Camden
County should control the destinies
of Cole? Do the people of Daviess
County want to govern the p co.
pie of Ste. Genevieve? Do the
people of Bates County wish to
dictate to the people of Cape
Girardeau? Is it right that they
should? Do the people Of Ray
County want to force their will up-
on their neighbors of Lafayettep ?
Let the people decide. Mis-
sourians, as a whole, believe in
local self-government and they
love fair play.

Whether or not you admit that
Prohibition has been failure in
every state which has tried it, you
must admit that there is consider
able evidence of that fact-enough
evidence, at least, to create a
reasonable doubt as to the efficacy
of Statewide Prohibition. But
every advocate of local option
must admit that local option, as q
rule, has been pronounced sue
cess i'm Missouri. The Tenth
Amendment repeals local option
and substitutes for a workable
plan a rank uncertainty. The
sincere friend of local option will
scratch "yes" on the Tenth
Amendment.
