May u. 1913.
Mr.. G Yer Pioeg. Oskaioosa, Iowa.
Ny Dear Sir: l can speak Of the cost
Of litigation as affected by the saloon
business only as l may view it, with
1afsre.ce 20 -he effect OF saloons or
lack Of saloons on drunkenness: and
the proba bic effect on cost Of litiga :
ton basing my judgment on the pro-
portion OF litigation resulting from
drunkenness as I have observed il.
This judicial district, outside OF Ma
haska county, has had no saloons since
have been on the bench, and in Ma
haska county they have not been with :
out saloons long enough for ii TO have
any appreciable effect on court bust
ness yet.

looms reduces drunkenness 70 q notice

By the fact that now, and ever since
The saloons were closed in Oskaloosa,

often very many. What the condition
may be in the city now, I have no
means Of knowing. but have 10 doubt
/ there is a noticeable change.
In the town in which ! live there is
very little drunkenness compared with
what there was when we had open
saloons. We have neither saloons nor
