Gentlemen: Answering your favor
OF the 23d. asking my opinion rs to
how the dry system has affected gen
erai conditions In La Junts. Ger.
tainly think the situation has I'm.
proved both morally and financially.
Taking the average condition Of all
the people Of La Junta believe We
have fewer cases OF actual want now
than at any former period. II Is
true that business activity is quiet.
er Mt present In most every line than
II was three years ago. but II glance
around the. country viii show that
this complaint Is general all over the
west and the east AS well In fact
all the information we get indicates
that the present quictness In indus.
trial lines Is much more severe In
other parts of the country than II
Ii right here In La Junta.
Yours truly.

Answering your inquiry. have to
say that l have lived In La Junta
since its beginning and have there
fore been watching with consider
able interest the effect of dry town
upon business conditions here. am
iree TO confess that although heart
lily In favor OF dry town, | had some
fears that change from conditions
existing 30 long would hurt business
10 some extent. | am now convinc-
I'd that these fears we're uniounded
for In my position as cashier OF the
r irst National Bank and as seere-
cary OF the Otero Loan aud Building
Association y find every evidence Of
great improvement In the town since
the saloon was abolished. In the
-ank. We have always loaned small
amounts TO the railroad men and
can say right here that In nine
cases out Of ten where We have had
trouble In collecting these notes. IL
can be traced directly to drink. This
trouble has almost entirely disap-
peared since the town went dry. The
evidence from the Building and Loan
Association Is even more conclusive
where 80 many are making monthly
payments on their homes. In the
I,rst place. the drinking man rarely
starts In paying for n home. When
he does, he Is liable to stop paying
and finally lose out. while the non
drinker Is the one who makes the
start and finally pays out In ninety
nine eases out Of u hundred. Col
iections OF every kind have been bet
ter and no where among the business
men do I find anything but improy
ed conditions resulting from a dry
town. Trusting this will serve your
purpose and hoping that La Junta
may never asain be found In the
wet column. | am

Gentlemen: In reply to your in.
Quiry as to what effect a dry town
has or might have on my profession
may state that from a financial stand
point l can answer for myself only.
1t has had no bad effect From
medical standpoint we know that al
cohol degenerates every organ In
the human body. and there can be
no doubt that the sober mans chances
TO resist and coma disease are
much greater than the one who uses
alcohol. The same is true OF chill
dren born OF temperate or intemper-
ate parents.
Respectfully yours.

Gentlemen: Replying to your In
Quiry regarding business in La Junta,
since the saloons went out OF bust
ness, will say there has been de-
cided Improvement. Rents are paid.
and the working man is living in
better houses. There has been more
money spent by the working people
for the necessaries of the home and
the family, that formerly went into
the till OF the saloon. The evil in
fluences have been removed from
the path of our boys. and La Junta Is
a cleaner and nicer city to live in.

the result has been the same In

feet OF the dry policy of the past

moral interests Of La Junta Will say.
that in my Judgment 1t has been ben

Gentlemen: Replying to your re-
quest for an expression of our views
on the effects OF the dry policy In
La Junta, we wish to say that in our
judgment the effect is commendable
from both business and moral stand
point. We have more cash paying
customers and fewer slow accounts
than ever we had Lefore. and this
fact alone leads us to believe the
town is more prosperous than ever
before, and return TO the old pol
Icy. or even al attempt to, would be
mistake.

n Gentlemen: Replying to your In
curry as to the bearing wet or
dry town has on the business In
terests of our city.
twenty-three years and have had a
good opportunity to observe what ef-
feet the wet or dry conditions have
had on the city.
From purely business standpoint
] do not hesitate to state that the
general business welfare is better
served without than with saloons. Col
lections are much letter in legiti-
mate lines Of trade than they used
to be when we had open saloons.
Many years ago when | was with
the A. T. and S. +. Railway at this
point had occasion to investigate
causes for garnishments against en-
ployes and found they were invari.
ably due to liquor and gambling.
While the argument is made that
there is a great deal OF drinking
going on under our present condi-
tiOns. ] am satisfied that II Is not
near as general as II used TO be, and
BY vigorous prosecution OF those en-
gagged in unlawfully selling the same.
Il can be reduced to minimum.

quiry concerning the status OF busi-
noSs since the closing OF saloons In
La Junta as compared TO business be-
fore that dine | am pleased To make
the following statement OF facts as
they have been disclosed TO me:
The collection business from the
collectors standpoint has greatly de-
creased aud the accounts that ARE
put into my hands for collection are
much easier collected.
Tenants are keeping their rent
paid up and there In not u desirable
house In the ci,y for rent.
The people OF the city are not only
paying their bills more promptly but
are living much better.
The arrests for drunkenness and
disordcriy conduct have decreased at
least sixty per cent and = large ma.
,ority Of the arrests that have Teen
made Ia the last eighteen months
have been caused by the sale of "
Quor at Swink or from its sale In
our city contrary To the law.
D. 10 very evident that the busi.
ness interest Of our city have been
aided very materially In the closing
Of the saloons and would be further
helped by = more thorough enforce
meat of the law.

W EFT OR DRY
What Over One-Half of the Busi-
ness Men of La Junta Think of
the Dry Policy During the
Past Eighteen Months

URlNG the past week 1t has
been alleged upon the
streets OF La Junta that
- seyenty-five per cent OF the
business men OF La Junta are in
favor OF the return OF saloons to
this city. There are not over eighty
business institutions In La Junta, and
counting the doctors and lawyers
there are not one hundred business
and professional men In th. city.
Count them yourself for a verification
OF this statement. II Is a very easy
matter and will not take up more
than five minutes Of your time II
you are acquainted. During the past
two weeks representatives of the
publicity committee OF the Anti-Sa-
loon League have interviewed every
business and professional man In La
Junta and have ascertained Just how
they stand on the question Of a wet
and dry town. Forty-five have de-
clared that they are in favor Of con-
unuing the present dry policy, and
shose who have not made declara-
tion you can count upon your fin
gers. Seventy-five per cent Of the
business men OF this city are in
are In favor OF a dry town. a fact
that can be very easily determined
and arrived at by reading the forty
seven letters which follow:

this In spite OF certain well known

Quiry as to the effect OF the dry pol

the volume of our business increas-
ed very materially. our losses by bad
accounts have been eliminated al
mos entirely. when AS previously. We
Were constantly suffering h.ayy
losses each and every pay day. We
have observed a very substantial i'm
pr0vement in character OF the labor

We would regard Il as a serious busi

a lucrative office which under or
dinary conditions yielded an income
OF about 81 900 per year. found II
a very poor paying office. The mer-
chants have fewer bad bills to collect
and the numoer of garnishments OF
wages to collect debts. decreased TO
such an extent that the duties OF
the office were very light. Those In
