Six Years Of State Wide
Prohibition Bank
rupts State.
More Crime Than Ever Before.

Tennessee has had Statewide pro-
hibition for six years.
Before the prohibition law went into
effect. 10 per cent OF the revenues Of
the State were applied to paying of
the State debt, as provided by law,
thereby rapidly discharging It. Since
prohibition deprived the State OF large
revenues from taxes on the manufac-
turers OF liquors and beer, the sinking
fund law was suspended. and payments
on the State debts stopped.
The present Legislature found that
there was a deficit in State revenues
Of s1.O22 100000. Short-time notes have
been given to cover that deficit, the
same TO be converted into 30year
bonds next. July. This will increase
the bonded Indebtedness OF the State
to a total of s12,5OO,OOO.OO.
Taxes have been largely increased.
The State Manufacturers Association.
in 1914. stated in its report on Taxa.
ton:
There is a tendency throughout
the State TO increase taxes on an
already overburdened people. both
by constant increase OF the assess
ment as well as the rate"
Since that report was made, the
Legislature has passed a new Revenue
and Assessment Act. increasing many
kinds OF taxes from 40 to 100 per cent,
the entire tax burden being nearly
twice what 1t was before prohibition
went into effect.
In 1908. the year before Statewide
prohibition was adopted, the cost OF
criminal prosecutions in Tennessee
was sl5s,OOO.O0. According to Official
figures submitted TO the Legislature
that has just adjourned, S342, 100000
was expended for criminal prosecu.
tons last year. This shows an in.
crease Of nearly 100 per cent in crime
in six years under prohibition.
The city of Nashville recently issued
bonds for s9s7,OOO.OO to cover a defici,
caused largely by the operation OF the
prohibition law. The other large cities
OF the State are in a similar financial
condition, due to the same causes.
In Tennessee, prohibition has not
helped the taxpayer, nor has it i'm
proved moral conditions. Exactly the
reverse has been the result. Large
numbers OF extra ofiiceholders, and
greatly increased expenses for their
support and for prosecuting violations
Of the law, are the main features OF
present conditions.
Blind tiers, bootleggers and moon
shining have taken the place of law
full. regulated liquor traiiic; there has
been a steady increase in all crimes:
