Figures Show Why
State Wide Prohibition is Farce

Do you believe that statewide pro-
hibition as it exists in Georgia today
has materially lessened the quantity of
whiskey consumed. or, in any consider
able measure. mitigated the evils of in
temperance?
Here are some figures taken from the
Internal Revenue Department, which
speak for themselves, in language more
eloquent than mere words:
In the year 1907, which was the last
year of local option in Georgia, there
were seized in this state by the United
States government, pa Illicit distillers.
These distilleries were operated in Geor-
gia and disposed of their products, pre-
sumably, to Georgia patrons. In the year
1908, the first year AFTER statewide
prohibition, the United States govern
ment seized in Georgia 294 Illicit distil-
leries. a jump during the first year, when
the law was most rigidly sought to be
enforced, of 20 seizures. In the year 1903,
the second year AFTER statewide pro-
hibition went into effect, there were seiz-
ed in the state of Georgia, 62S Illicit dis
tilleries. In the year 1910, there were
seized in the state of Georgia T0S Illicit
distilleriesi
These are official figures, not guess
work; they speak the living truth, and
they demonstrate clearly that today, I'M
der statewide prohibition in Georgia,
less than four years after it went into
effect, the business of Illicit distilling has
nearly trebled.
Can any sane and patriotic Georgian
fail to grasp the frightful significance of
these figures?
Again. from the reports of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, some sig
nificant figures may be taken.

in the remaining counties? Instead of a
limited number of legalized saloons, from
which the State derived a revenue. there
has been a multiplication of various de-
vices by which intoxicating liquor can
be sold; and the general effect of this
disregard of the law in the counties in
which there is not sufficient sentiment
to support the prohibition law. has been
to teach disregard and contempt of law
in counties in which, prior to the pas
sage of the Act of 1907, the prohibition
law was fairly well enforced"
1T is not my purpose to aid In legal
izing the sale of liquor in any county not
desiring it, nor to suggest the right of
legal sales in any county, unless a ma
jority of its voters so decide. Those
counties which, prior to 1907, voted pro-
hibition for themselves, should have pro-
hibition again, If they so elect But,
conceding that the law is effective in ali
of these (more than 100 counties) what is
the result of the passage of the secret
Act of 1907? As / see it, 1t is merely
the transfer of the liquor business neces-
sary to supply the uses of the people
of this State from the control of our
laws to the control Of the laws of othes
States in which We have no voice"

which are beyond the reach of our laws.
With network of railroads reaching
every part Of the state, with express
companies. willing and able to deliver it
at the doors of our people, by the pas
sage of this law the general assembly
simply transferred the legal right to sell
liquor from our own state, to people who
reside beyond the limits of the state and
shamelessIy abdicated its power TO so
regulate the traffic as TO produce the
least harm to the citizen and the gerat-
est good to the state. In so far as the
illegal sale Of liquor is concerned that
business has been vastly stimulated by
the passage of the act. 1t was legally
possible under the local option law TO
prevent shipments of liquor from a wet
county into dry county but ii is not
legally possible to prevent the shipment
of liquor from a wet state into dry
county in this state.

morally, than she has ever occupied in
the past
IN MAINE
From the Louisville Courier-Journal:
1T may sound strange to some tenn
perance people, but those who most
strenuously opposed the repeal of the
statewide prohibition law in Maine were
the liquor dealers. Maine, theoretically
is dry, but practically 1t is as wet as any
other state in the union. With high
licensed saloons in Maine, the blind tiger
and boot-legger would be put out of a
lucrative business, and they knew it,,
hence their opposition.
CORPORATIONS.
On the subject of corporations, Judge
Russell says:
THE State can and must exercise
the right to regulate and in measure
control all of its creatures, in so far
as they affect the interest of others,
and it cannot permit any corporate as.

LOCAL OPTION.
In discussing local option. Judge Rus
SELL in his platform, says:
eat the time the general prohibition
law was passed, prohibition prevailed in
more than 100 counties, and in many
of these counties the law was well en-
forced. because there was public SEN
timent behind it. 1t can readily be seen
therefore, that the only possible reasons
for the passage of the Statewide prohi-
bition law was to affect those counties
which had not adopted prohibition UNI

what the 120 counties needed, they al
ready had it. What has been the result

JUDGE RUSSELL ON
IMPORTANT ISSUES
Local Option Candidate Makes
Himself Clear on important
Topics

Concerning the schools Of the state,
Judge Richard B. Russell. in his plat
form says:
mot only is the education of our boys
and girls a great duty-it is wise and
statesmanlike policy. The term of our
rural public school system should be
extended to nine months If practical;
and we should have the best teachers,
and those teachers should be paid prompt
Iy. preferably at the end of each scholas-
to our rural schools. boys and girls
training schools working in conjunction
with boys farming schools.
Il favor the proposition that the state
shall furnish free school books to the
children of the public schools. II is
mockery, SO far as the children of the
poor are concerned, TO tax the citizen
e. maintain public schools, as a matter
of governmental protection, and for the
prevention of crime, and TO say the child
who has no money to buy books, TIE
school door is open to YOU II the state
furnishes school books, even parents who
are able to buy the same would not be
subject to the frequent changes. often usl-
necessary, from one text book to another.
The state should jealousy care for the
common schools and the education of
both boys and girls in those rudiments of
knowledge which are essential as the
ground work of a liberal education, and
especially in those matters of practical
business which win tend to add to the
stability. happiness and comfort of our
rural homes

MINISTER
ON PROHIBITION
Louisville Divine Opposes
Statewide Prohibition and
Gives His Reasons Why

Rev. L. l.. Powell, a distinguished min
lister of the gospel, pastor of the First
Christian church of Louisville, KY, in
a recent sermon said:
IT am opposed to statewide prohibit
ton because you are seeking to attain
at once by a bound, by stroke of the
pen, in the form of prohibitory statute
that which cannot be accomplished ex-
cept through recognizing all of the in
tervening steps, all Of the intervening
agony that lies between. You cannot
cross the ocean except by going every
mile of the way. You cannot attain to
any goal except by recognizing all of the
intervening steps. You cannot bring in
the millennium or the New Jerusalem by
statutory enactment.
Il believe that the Prohibition party,
which I never supported. for which
never cast a vote and for which, so help
me God, ] never win cast vote, has
done splendid work in the way of agi-
tation for the temperance cause. All OF
these are helpful agencies; but that
which. we can do, before attaining the
goal, as a result of more education, IS
not through restrictive laws, but
through surely enforced laws.
''Will you damn a man before trying
to save him? What can you do with the
saloon-keeper? He is totally depraved?
Is that your gospel?
II would quit the pulpit, so help me
God, before preaching it.
II say that there is good in every man.
and that it is the purpose of the gospel
of Jesus Christ to bring it out and to
save that man from his environments,
and to save that man from his business
if it is an evil business, and to save
that man from the power and dominion
of his evil habits
You have got to let the men who
are in the wrong, as you believe them
to be in the wrong. see that you are
not premature and in some impossible
manner seeking to damn them. You
have got TO restrict and control and reg
ulate within the limitations of a re-
stricting and controlling law. You have
to make the penalty strong enough and
see that whatever law you have on the
statute books shall be enforced. That
far you can go and no further; and
then, so far as 1 am concerned, am
going to take the rest out in loving

According to official figures from the
Commission approximately upon reliable
data it's conclusions) we find that Jack
sonville. Fla, ships through mail orders,
from out of the state of Florida, every
year. total OF about one and one-half
million gallons of whiskey. Chattanooga
ships about $4,000 gallons.
These combined figures by no means
represent all of the whiskey that is ship
ped from Southern states through the
mail-order method, because Richmond,
Petersburg, Pensacola, New Orleans,
Norfolk and Roanoke are also large ship
pers; but the shipments from Jackson
vile and Chattanooga are shipments
from states touching Georgia, and the
combined shipment of these two points
alone foot up 100000 gallons of whiskey
per year!
1t is not a violent conclusion that at
least 80 per cent of the whiskey shipped
from Jacksonville and Chattanooga is
shipped into Georgia. There is little, II
any, occasion for shipments from Ten
nessee or Florida into Virginia, Alabama,
Louisiana, or kentucky. because those
states are not operating under state
wide prohibition laws, and hence, do
not find it necessary to go into other.
states for liquor necessary to supply
their demands.
AS the case now stands, Georgia must
receive from outside sources every year,
not less than 100000 gallons of whisl1ey.
If this amount of whiskey is necessary
to supply the demands of the state Of
Georgia, and il this amount of whis-
key comes into Georgia every year in
spite of its statewide prohibition law,
is it right that the state of Georgia
should exercise no control whatever over
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-11-24

this traffic. and that 1t should not receive
one dollar of tax or revenue of any sort
from IT?
The state of Georgia today is operat-
ing under tax rate that cannot be in
creased. The legislature has. gone to the
very limit in taxing the people; it can
go no further. Either Georgia must cur
tail its expenses, cut into it's school
fund, its pension fund and other appro-
priations for the public good or it must
supply itself with more revenue Is
there any sense in the state of Georgia
depriving itself of the tax it might get
from the legalized and strictly regulated
sale of whisl1ey in those bw counties
that would vote for it's SALE when the
state is flooded with whiskey anyhow,
from which Georgia does not and cannot
get one dollar of tax?
The state ,of Georgia would have a
direct interest I'm the control and regu-
lation of the liquor traffic within its
borders, but the states of Tennessee,
Florida and Alabama, which flood Geor-
gia with whiskey, do so without any
CONCERN or regard for the laws of Geor-
gia. The state of Georgia cannot control
the liquor traffic in Tennessee, Florida
OF Alabama, and yet these states supply
Georgia with an enormous quantity of
whiskey every year.
In this matter of the liquor traffic. the
state of Georgia is confronted by con-
dition, and not a theory. Georgia is pay
ing an enormous price through state
wide prohibition, for something it does
not receive. Under present conditions we
have all the evils of the traffic without
any of the revenue.
