ter proposition. 1t is being pointed
out that more revenue may be OBJ

The commissioni already has taken
steps to bring that about but the
question of increases in rates with
the accompanying complieationgof gof
classification is raising questions,
which yet tn commits sions has NOT

.YOST PROHIBITION LAW
IS EFFECTIVE TONIGHT
MAKES THE NINTH STATE IN
THE PROHIBITION COLUMN
IN THE UNION.
ALLfARRANGEMENTs HAVE NOW
BEEN MADE TO ENFORCE
THE NEW MEASURE.
PROVISIONS OF THE ACT MORE
STRICT THAN IN OTHER
STATES.

Statewide prohibition of the liquor
business in West Virginia becomes
effective at midnight. II brings the
total number of states In the prOli-
shition column up to nine.
With West Virginia added, the list
will be: Georgia, Kansas, Maine.
kota; Oklahoma. Tennessee. West
Virginia These nine states of total
Prohibition territory. plus the local
noslicense area, make up 2.l32.726
square miles in which 46,75,0O0 per-
sons or nearly so per cent. of the
icauntry's population live according
gtoltlie latest figures of the prohibition
leaders.
The $4,000 majority with which
the people Of West Virginia accepted
the dry proposition was relatively the
largest ever given by any state. 1t
was approximately to | for state
wide suppression Of tile liquor bust
ness. 1t was n surprise even to the
prohibition forces, who were fndcbt-
cd largely to the determined stana
which many of the large employers
took in favor of their cause. The
stateshas a population of l,221, ,l19 by
Tie census of 1910.
The mandate of the legislature
embodied in the Yost bill. for the en-
foreement Of the new law, beginning
July 1st, departs in many respects
from the methods hitherto tried
along this line. The chief features
center about the creation of a COM
missioner of prohibition. whose par
ticulars business 1t will be to see that
hy midnight some f,200 liquor SELL
ing places in the state will have dis
posed of their stocks and that there
after all persons shall be punished
