A LESSON IN TAXES.

The raising great bugaboo in their claim that
saloons voted the tax rate will be increased We
have shown concusivey all through this campaign that
this is not the but that the tendency toward
ducton of the tax rate especially after municipality
adjusted to the situation. Here figures
that make interesting study.
In 1909 there 20 dry counties in Indiana and %
wet countless AS compared with the previous year. when
saloons existed quite generally throughout the state
find that forty five and oneha cent of the dry counties
reduced the rate, while and onehaf
of the counties reduced the thrty
the dry increased the while
forty five and oneha per cent of the wet counties in
creased the rate.
Thirtythree and vesixh per cent Of the dry cities
reduced the while only twenty and threesevenths
cent of the wet cities reduced the rate sXtythree
and thirteenth of the cities increased
rate while sxtyeven and sxsevenths of the
cities increased the rate including Richmond to the amount
of eight cents Thrtytwo and twohrs per cent of the
Incorporated dry townships reduced the tax rate, while
only twenty-five cent of the wet townships reduced
the thirteen and twothrds per of the dry
ships increased the while eighteen and twoeevenths
per cent of the wet townships increased the rate.
In dry counties twenty and onefourth cent of the
townships reduced the rate while in the wet counties only
twelve and forty Eight tyrs per cent Of the townships
reduced the rate seventyve and threesevenhs per
of the townships in the dry counties increased the
while eighty and fourfths per cent of the townships
increased the rate.
This statement shows concusvely that saloon revenues
not needed to make town prosperous.

going to have to shut shop causing
additional decrease in commercial assets of S4592
In the first place this "Committee presents state
ments from other places to the effect that the cigar in
dustry injured in the least by the closing of saloons. On
the other hand everybody knows that has nothing to
do with it, that with less going the bars
for liquor there is left with which to buy
cigars, if the people want to spend it that way
Another argument is that if the city loses it's $4,000
of from liquor licenses the tax rate going to
have to be increased. In another place this
present complete to that argument showing that
the tendency in a dry city is toward reduction

ing evidence in overwhelming quantities. during the last
two weeks from other cities, showing that when saloon
money is diverted into other channels such impetus is
given to other industry that not only these
cant buildings occupied but in two the in
creased business and better buildings to be
erected.
The closing argument is that $50 will be thrown
out of employment The government statistics show,
have repeatedly stated in these coumns that for the
amount of money invested every other industry
poys many than does the liquor industry. With

going into other industry, shown by the facts in
other dry city, business is given such i'm
petus that not only opportunities offered for employ
ing engaged in the liquor industry but others
needed who were already out of employment. This
is the condition shown multiplied hundreds of dry
cities throughout the country.
We repeat again that the saloon is always a liability
and asset to any community. Go the polls
Tuesday, March Oath and vote YES for the elimination
of the saloon the greatest liability upon city which
exists.
