on the 24th day of May, 1915, the citizens Of the town of Juneau will have the opportunity to express their desire, by ballot, if they are in favor of allowing liquor to be sold within the corporate limits. Appre- ciating that tho decision of the ques. ton means great deal to the peo- pie of the town of Juneau and to the welfare of the community, we respect fully oner the following suggestions and information;
 It should be understood that the question of PROHIBITION is not in. volved in this election of consent. or non-consont, to the sale og liquors in Juneau. Under the laws of Alaska you may still continue to buy and drink intoxicating liquors whenever you please, even though the sale of it is stopped locally. By forbidding sale Of liquor in Juneau. we will eli minate the established and regulated legitimate liquor dealers and have numerous blind pigs" over which there can be no regulation or control In other words, we will have an in- efficient form of Local Option which has never proved it's success where ever tried.
 A large proportion of the business done by the legitimate dealers in Ju- neau is with the people who live out side of the city. and who are employ ed in the country tributary to Juneau in different occupations. These men make Juneau their headquarters and purchase their supplies here. If Ju- neau votes dry" much of this busi- ness will be diverted to other conyen. lent points where liquor is still sold, In this event 1t will not only be the legitimate liquor dealers who still sufer, but boat owners. restaurants. hotel keepers, merchants. bankers. and everybody who is dependent upon the towns property will be losers.
 The federal law by which the pow CTS of the towns council are created. contemplates that all the money de- rived from licenses including that de. rived from the licenses for the sale of liquor shall be used for municipal and school purposes. intending that this revenue. supplemented by the revenue from taxation. shall be suni. cient to carry on the city government and maintain the schools The law expressly prohibits the town council from levying a greater tax than two per cent or cresting a bonded indebt- edness. It is impossible for the town of Juneau to raise more money by tax ation for the reasons. that. today, Ju- neau property is appraised higher than the property in any other Alas. kan town; and the appraised value of our property cannot be raised with any justification to the property own NA "AtN A1A buN ioos oAA sge+Ao bAlS maximum tax of two per cent has been levied
 The Alaska Legislature has passed a bill whereby the question of PRO- HBITIoN will be put to the entire Territory at the next general cleo tion, and if Alaska decides for pro- hibition, we will have an opportunity to amend and change the laws in or. der to conform to the new conditions and to devise means of raising Q rev enue for the maintenance of schools and the city government. To deprive the city of the money derived from tho liquor business in Juneau until some other law is passed substituting other means Of furnishing tho neces- sary money, will spell bankruptcy for the city government

 In order to appreciate the conditions fully, we give the following estimate. based upon the city auditors report for the year ending April 9th, 1915: City taxes, real and personal
 property @-........................-.~s5 ~s56, 6,2OO71 License money collected by
 the Clerk Of the District
 Court, Div No. ], at Ju-
 neau and rald into the mu-
 nicipal treasury .........~...... 29,145.9S
 Total ...........................-..s8 .s85,s4s.sa Amount Of money received
 by the city from licenses of
 lIquor houses and from the
 tax upon the personal prop
 erty situated therein~-.... 24,S53.oo
 Balance ~............----.....s s5s,sss.so This $25,35S.OO is nearly
 one-third of tho total rev
 enue of the city.
 Amount city will collect from
 taxes upon personal prop
 crty in liquor houses and
 from these licenses if the
 city goes dry.........................SOO 900 co Expense of city including
 street work, lights, fire de-
 partment, etc. .....~..-.......~S6 S65,31O32 Cost of school .....--.............. 19,1S711
 Total expense of city-...-~sS4.4474s Present city indebtedness.~s2s, ,65s.O0 Comparing these figures 1t will be seen that under the present condi- tiona, the revenue of the city is 1885, 34669 and the expenses of the city are SS4,4474S. Without this revenue from the personal tax and licenses the total revenue of the city would be s5999S.69. leaving "a further indebt- edness of S24.453.74 which, taken with the present indebtedness of the city, would give total indebtedness of ss4,- 1Os.74.
 We consider it the duty of every man and every woman who is citi- zen of the United States and over the age of twenty-one years to so to the polls and express themselves on this question, in order that the results will represent what the majority de- sire.
 We believe that if you give this mat ter your full and earnest considera- ton you will make the following con clusions:
 That it is necessary that licenses for the sale of liquor to be issued within the corporate limits of Juneau, because:
 That we should do justice to the liquor dealer and not close him up with only few days notice. Busi- ness suffers by q radical change but not by constructive legislation. 2.-That the liquor dealers pay 29eo or about one third of taxes, and 1t is necessary that the city have this money for the support Of our schools and for municipal purposes.
 Remember that the election will be held at the City Hall, on the 24th day of May, 1915. That we should not voluntarily subject ourselves, our nelghbors, our town nor our schools to any financial difficulty or hardship, which will result if we deprive them of the revenue from the licensed li- Quor houses and from the tax upon the personal property which these houses contain.
 Respectfully submitted,
