Without discussing the virtues of prohibition
in view of the fact that prohibition is virtually slated for 1916
it well to call attention to the citizens and tax payers of the
state OF Idaho that important questions confront them
and there certain governmental and tax reforms which
and Immediately to be prepared for the dry
spell.
The law in enactment and effect will shut off large
volume of available and for which must be sub
suted at least higher taxation This is self evident and
til this reform and the provisions made the public
schools, especially where there Independent districts and
the tax levy is limited will suffer exceedingly
Again the citizen must consider that lnnauguratng the
law there added expenditure in enforcing
other words the proper policing of the state This must
essary follow the prohibition is effective There will be
added cost in providing for the enforcement of the law
That these assertions not vain and imaginative be
from the statistics available For example the cost of
criminal prosecutions in Tennessee in 1905 the last year
license shown have been $5800 for the biennial period
of 1871 1914, the criminal costs bill $342000
AS for the corresponding increase in the tax burden, ID
Tennessee had bonded debt of $18 100000 which
years reduced to $1 100000 During the four years
der the prohibition administration the bonded debt increased
by million.
OF in Tennessee corrupness in the of the
paze be considered But in Idaho of the past
has been remeded yet.
Therefore within the coming year another problem in the
administration of state affairs will present itself The ad
ment has already been made of the counties Of the
state where local option has afforded for the voters
putting their county the dry list Other counties will have
