"OVER THE HILLS"
Poor House Got Gilbert Chase-Drink
DOwned Him.

Downed Him.
Gilbert Chase, who up to about six
weeks ago was night man at Hotel
Belding and had been for the past three
years was taken to the Ionia County
poor house Monday. "Henry" as he
was familiarly known, quit his job
which was a good one, about six weeks
ago, telling Mr.. Hetherington he
wanted to go to Kalamazoo on visit
to relative, the only one he has. He
had saved up and placed i'm the bank
over $500 while working at the hotel,
although when he came there he hadn't
a cent and was addicted TO drink. He
had one "sprce" the second week but
Mir. Hetherington gave him good
temperance lecture and notified him
that the next would cost him his Job
al once.
Henry quit drinking and his bank
account grew. On leaving for Kalama-
700 he was advised by both Mr.. Heth-
erington and Mr.. Bracken TO leave his
money in the bank, but didn't. AT
Grand Rapids the following week he
got into bad company and was hauled
up by cop for being drunk. The
judge let him 60 without fine only to
have him up again a few days later.
He went to Kalamazoo and it is sup
posed got in bad there also, returning
here last Friday. Mr.. Hetherington
gave him accommodations at the hotel
but 1t was soon found he was on the
verge Of deiirium tremens and became
so troublesome it was necessary to re-
move him to the county house. Out
of his roll Of over 5000, which he had
six weeks ago, S2.lS was left.

TIMELY QUESTIONS
ARE ASKED
What Is Equalized Valuations
And Community Assets
VOTERS SHOULD KNOW
A Return To License And Sale on
Means Same Old System
Over Again

When you consider the local OPP
tion question from a financial stand
point, what do you consider the as
sets OF community?
When you assess the valuation OF
it's buildings, its lots, its furniture,
its diamonds, its homes, its business
places, it's machinery, its tools, its
books, it's growing crops and its live
stock, you get the results in dollars
and cents.
How are you going to get the as
sessed valuation of human being!
shat is the equaliZed valuation of a
brain, heart, a hand, foot, a man,
woman, child, life? What are
their values on the supervisors
books?
The value of pair OF shoes or q
suit OF clothes is put in dollars and
cents. In what terms do you ex-
press the vaIae OF a clear brain, a
steady hand, a clean tongue and a
manly heart?
The valde of a shaper or an en-
gine is placed at so much money
What is the assessed valuation of the
energy 10 run those machines?
lou can 80 to the lax rolls and
get the assessed valuation of a
brewery or a saloon, but what is the
assessed valuation of school? OF
a church?
When the value of the output OF
your brewery is lessened it's assessed
valuation is lowered.
When the value of the output of
your schools is lessened, how are
you going to determine how much
less it is worth?
Your brewery was considered an
asset to the community because the
tax rolls say it is worth SO much
money.
Are the school buildings of the
city, which turn out citizens, no as
set because the tax rolls fail to give
them money value?
You will not find the value of the
human machine in the inventory OF
the community's assets. You will
not find it's assessed valuation on the
tax rolls.
When a brewery or a saloon goes
out of business, the tax rolls say ii
has deprecated so much in value.
When a boy or a man goes out of
business where do you look to find
the depreciation in his assessed val
uation and the loss in dollars and
cents to the taxpaying public?
When you find that the assessed
valuation of the brewery or the sa
loon has deprecated, you paw the air
and shout for help.
When you find that the value OF
boy or man has deprecated, there
is very little said about it, His as
sessed valuation is not on the tax

The defeat of local option does

ment by which the saloon advocate

This advertisement is feeble
tissue Of confessed sins veneered by
a thin layer of eleventh hour repen-
tance that cannot appeal to the in
telligence of lonia county voters.
Every voter knows:
That Ionia city has for several
years had put one saloon TO every
500 inhabitants.
That for the purpose Of gettine

On ordinance which II had itsal
passed the common council by res0lu-
ion added 500 to the city's pop la
ton,
That some OF the worst law v'o'a-
tors in lonia have leen citizens @

served time in states nt son citla'
That there was formerly lp@
prohibiting selling to minors or in
oXicated persons, or posted men.
ieeping open after ho1rs on lega
holidays or Sundays ani that h.
aw was openly and Aagrantly vic
lated
That the liquor law under which
wet counties are working TODAY an
the Warner Champion amendment
and the danger of having his license
revoked and being forever barred
are not in the least preventing open,
numerous and aagrant violations
of the law in wet counties today.
That the license was good for only
one year when the county was wet.
That the board has always had
powers in granting Ii
censes but that the fear Of political
enemies has often worked against the
public welfare in this regard.
That one saloon TO each. 900 in
Ionia failed to enable Ionia saloOs
keepers TO do "LPNitiHste cuisines
and strictly obey the .law which the
advertisement admits iR It's own
language.
That the law permitting the sa-
looms TO sell nothing but pure
liquors" is not preventing the sale
in Lowell and other places Of booze
that is distressingly impure
That a return 10 license means & q
the "old system" and that the Grand
Rapids Brewing company still owns
at least four buildings in lonia
county waiting for a chance to in
fiict their methods" on Ionia county.
And that the only fear the saloon
knows is the fear of being put en-
tirely out Of business.
