most hardened novel reader! Such is
Conan Doyles 1.-The Lost World"
Did you know that in the UNEMPLOYED
wilderness between the Andes and the
Amazon there still exists many of the
monster animals that walked the earth
before man was crestedY 1t has re-
NAMED for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
and the irascible Professor Challenger
to discover this lost world and take you
right into it. How does it feel to be
chased by dinosaur as big as a house,
or attacted by pterodactyl as large as
a biplaneY You will know before you
finish this fascir ating story, for the
author makes you see and believe. At

imagination OF Kipling or Jules Verne

Sherlock Holmes.

PRESIDENT ELIOT VOTES opRY."

Cambridge, Mass, a city of some
thing like 100000 population and al
most adjoining the city of Boston has
followed the prohibition policy, con-
Lnuously for twenty years. The sue
cess of the policy resulted IN the con
version of Hon. Charles w. Eliot, Pres
ident Of Harvard University, to the
policy and resulted in his abandoning
his moderate drinking.
The city has prospered so rapidly
under the Prohibition policy that the
tax on the increment OF taxable prop
erty has much more than made UP for.
the loss Of saloon revenue.
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1912-10-29

of revenue each year frcm the liquor
trade. Remember, the counties do
not receive q cent? Give the business
credit for this revenue, then charge it
the increase OF court costs. Jail and
prison costs and insane costs, caused
by the open saloons, and you viii
more than wipe out every dollar or
revenue you receive. This is no pipe
dream; it is the result of actual ex-
perience in '"ohibition states. In 9TH
or words, the liquor trade doesn't pay
It's own expenses to the public. This
is the plain truth of the matter. And
this is the reason why, as a general
rule, rates of assessment are higher
IN license than in no-license counties
and why license counties are so much
more heavily burdened with debts.

TAX increase
TALK NONSENSE
Judge NC Whorter Gives a Few
Things To Think About
On Amendments
DESTROYER NEVER A Benefit
1t is BY Conserving Public Peace,
Health and Morals That We De-
crease the Burdens Of Taxa
ton-Not BY Destroy
ing Them.
[By Judge ]. c. McWhorter. ]

It is all nonsense to talk about the
removal of the saloon increasing taxes
on property. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge, and every court that has
ever delivered an utterance on the
subject has declared, that the open
saloon is destructive of life, public
peace. health and morals. Everybody
knows this is true. NO one can con-
trovert it, So universally true is this
that the courts say they Will take ju-
dicial notice of it. 1t doesn't have to
be proven in court. Then listen: No
man can point to a single Instance in
alton to prohibit the doing Of thing
which is destructive Of life, public
peace, health or morals.
Think for a minute. You can't re-
call one, and the liquor traffic can be
no exception TO the rule 1t is by the
prohibition of these very things which
are so destructive of life, public peace.
health and morals that we avoid gov.
ermental expense and costs Think a
minute:
Slavery was destructive of public
morals. Did it increase our burden OF
taxes to abolish it? No, only as we
have been compelled to pay a heavy
war debt as the penalty of our folly
and stupidity, in trying to settle a
question like this by the standard OF
dollars and cents instead of by the
principles OF right and wrong until the
war as a means of settling it became
unavoidable.
