COUNTY OPTION HAS
HIT The JAG FARM
Reduced the Revenue and Tax
Will Fall Upon People of
Minnesota

st. Paul. August 25.-Operations of
the county option law bids fair to
place the entire support of the Viii
mar inebriate h,spi,t ON the revenue
funds of the state. ,3ince Iha eud Of
i9i4 the revenues from the two per
cent tax on liquor licenses have de-
creased sic. 9sl according to figures
prepared today by J. A. o. Preus,
state auditor. AS county after county
went dry the revenues to be expected
from these counties have been oblit-
Grated.
/ County option has further comPli-
Gated matters by reason of the fact
that the state board of control has
outstanding $4,000 worth of certill-
Gates OF indebtedness, which were
issued in advance of the tax collection
for 1914. The collection amounted TO
S4S,593. The difference probably will
need to be made up by a Legislative
appropriation.
The figures supplied by Mr.. Preus
show that saloons of Ramsey county
supplied the largest portion of the
tax for 1914. Ramsey paid i'm sS,490,
Hennepin ss.44S and st. Louis s7.03S.
II the three largest counties should go
dry nearly one-half the support for
the inebriate hospital would be lost.
AS the revenue from saloon licenses
decreases the money needed to keep
up the hospital must be made up by
appropriations and in time II the
whole state were to go dry the entire
burden of maintaining the hospital
would be placed on the taxpayers at
large

to house canvass of the resident dis
tricts characterized the campaign of
the dry" and wet" forces in the
fight which viii be decided October
4. when Hennepin county will vote
on the question of retaining licensed
saloons.
Rumors that the prohibition faction
could not muster enough names for
the petition calling for county OPP
ton under. the law passed by the last
legislature were dispelled last Friday
when the petition, containing 1888
more names than were necessary, was
filed with the county auditor.
Every effort is being made by the
leaders of the liquor faction to ere
ate prohibition sentiment. They
have asserted out that serious slump
i'm all lines of business Is inevitable
IL the county goes dry" On the
other hand. prohibition advocates are
equally active: they declare that the
county will Dust it's saloons by a
tremendous majority; that there will
be no business depression; that
money invested in, the more than
three hundred Minneapolis saloons
will be invested Gin constrnc-
tive rather than a destructive" bust
ness and that greater prosperity will
result.
Daily meetings are being held, both
factions are completing final arrange
ments for carrying their campaigns
TO the last hour before election. and
leaders OF both sides declare that the
contest will so down in history as
the most bitter ever fought In Min
nesota over liquor question.
Only a few dollars of the election
fund remain in the county treasury,
but offers have been made to advance
the necessary money for the election
by several organizations. Among
these is the Business Mems Educa-
tionai league. which was formed to
combat the prohibitionists.

Any Move
TAssoclated Press Dlsnatch.1

Washington, August .25.-While
White House officials showed that
they believed the outlook concerning
the situation arising from the sink
ing Of the White Star liner Arabic was
more hopeful, they maintained the po-
.sition that further statement from
the German government must be
awaited before any announcement Of
the intentions Of the American gov
eminent would be made. An official
word conveyed to President Wilson
that the close friends Of Count Won
Bernstein believed that his telegram
yesterday requesting that final judy
ment be withheld foreshadowed an ac-
ton by the Berlin government which
will satisfy the United States. The
president was informed through
friends of the ambassador that GER
many wanted TO maintain friendly re-
lations with the United States and
that the next message from Berlin
would be of favorable character. Ad-
ministration officials did not accept
Count Won eernstorff's message as a
disaNowal, but are hopeful that II in
Dictated that disavowal will be forth
coming.
Berlin, August 25.-The only infor-
nation the government has is that
contained In newspaper dispatches
from abroad which throw little light
on the circumstances attending the
destruction OF the Arabic. II is net
even clear whether the. disaster was
due TO torpedo or a mine and wheth-
er In case the vessel was torpedoed
