Statutory legislation backs this up
with a penalty OF 500 to $500 and
thirty to ninety days In Jail for each
offense- The jail sentence becomes
six months II the ofrense is in main
tanning a place where liquors are
sold.
Do not think this Is merely NOR
bid measure on the statute books. It
is a double-action. smokeless and
quick-hring law that does business

The Pen For the Pigs
There is another law for the in

man who ofends a second time.
Neither is this law Quaker canon
A very short time ago. one William
Briggs concluded that the prohibit
tion law was nothing to be afraid OF.
and made a second sale OF liquor
after having been once convicted.
He was sentenced to the penitenti-
airy.
The Kansas prohibition law covers
the state like the dew" Druggists
cannot sell liquors. Kansas tried ex'-
empting them. and soon found that
the exemption was n nuisance. II

the people can get rid OF traitorous

But the Kansans who drink are
not numerous. and they don't drink
much. A careful investigation under
the new Mahin law. which requires a
report of all liquor shipments once
each month TO the county clerk.
showed conclusiveiy that the aver
age Kansas citizen Consumes only
about one-sixth as much liquor as
the average individual consumes for
the nation as a whole.
How About Texas.
Neither does prohibition make the
taxes high. The Kansas State tax
rate is 1.2 mills.
And TO make u comparison with a
state that lies just along side Kansas
Missouri state tax rate is 10 mills.
There are two reasons why the
Kansas tax rate is low. First. there
is plenty OF wealth In Kansas to tax;
second. there is not so much need
