vi other property in the State Is taxed
sufficiently to pay off the huge accum-
ulated debt and also provide the addi-
tional revenue nee essary to make up
the constant loss and bear at the same
time the current running expenses OF

palmer than that.
No kind Of sophistry or soft.soap-
istry can fool intelligent people in re-
gard to these facts.
FALSE STATEMENTS ANSWERED.
It has been claimed by the political
state~widers that statewide prohibition
will save the people money by reduc-
ing crime, pauperism, and insanity,
thereby reducing the cost of criminal
prosecutions. Facts and authentic
statistics utterly disprove these state
ments. They point to Kansas as a
shining example OF prohibition. The
following facts, taken from govern
ment statistics, prove concmsively
that Kansas is not the statewide para

While only 100000 OF the nearly
$4,000, 900 derived from the liquor bust
ness is paid directly TO the State treas
ury, yet the $l,245,000 paid to the
cities, towns and counties OF the State
are of great financial assistance to
them, and in this way undoubtedly
promotes the prosperity of the State.
; To say nothing of the revenues to
cities and counties, il the 100000 paid
by the liquor business direct to the
State treasury be thrown away, as
will be the case if Statewide prohibit
ton is adopted, the State deficit, or
debt, must at once be increased by
that amount, making ii over $4,000, 900

WHO'S GOING TO PAY?
State Debt is Now $2,355, l67 90
Statewide Prohibition Will Deprive the State
+ Of $500, 100000 Year-Where Will 1t Come
From Political Office Seekers Care Not
For State Debts-They Are After the Jobs

A little more than a year ago the
County Unit Law was enacted, as the
definite policy OF both the Democratic
and Republican parties in Kentucky.
Under its provisions 106 counties now
have prohibition as fully as they could
have under Statewide prohibition As
a political issue the liquor question
was thought to be settled. As moral
issue 1t was settled in accordance with
the wishes Of temperance people all
over the State. Each county can vote
out saloons when the people living in
them want to do 30.
Some politicians, desiring an excit-
ing issue to aid them in obtaining con-
troll of the business and political af-
fairs Of the State, resurrected the liq-
uor question, and proclaimed State
wide prohibition the paramount issue.
Indirectly. therefore, the question will
be voted upon at the primary, to be
held August T. because one of the can
didates for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor has made that issue
a fundamental part OF his political pro-
gram.
1t is well that the voters know and
consider some Of the facts that vitality
affect the welfare OF the state, and of
themselves as citizens and taxpayers,
before voting to tear up our economic
system. Many ridiculous and false
statements have been made by politi-
cal prohibitionists, calculated and in
tended to deceive the voters. But
here are facts that no truthful man
can deny:
