ST PAUL. Neb.. April lS.-To tho nd

Virginia. and we aid not pay any atteu-

but yesterday the same clipping was sent
us under cover OF an Omaha postmark.
no doubt being sent out by the brewery
Interests to bolster Up their cause.
Mr.. Meyer states that the Anti-Saloon
league is not fair and square In that they
are sending out statements that arc not
true, He quotes the case of West Vir-
sinia regarding taxes and shows that
they pay Ss-ioo per cent on 800 of as
sessed value.
In 1914. July 4. prohibition went into ef-
feet in West Virginia. according to Mr..
Meyer, and at this time, or on April I,
when Mr. Meyer wrote his letter the
state was broke" And he assumes that
the state was broke because the sale Of
booze was prohibited. But how about
our own state-did not the legislature cut
down the appropriations about 100000
and did not they almost put the state
militia out Of business on account Of the
small amount OF money voted for thems
Was II because We are a high license
state that such was done?
This city has voted. by a majority OF
IS. that we do not want any more license
money to pay our bills with, and in the
future we do not expect TO deprive our
selves Of one thing that We have had in
the past but on the other hand we ex-
peet TO have some things that we did not
have last year, chief OF which will be a
cleaner and quieter town. owing to the
absence OF two booze Joints.
