More than one-half Of this
amount now comes from the
liquor business and its allied in
dustries. Therefore, should pro-
hibition carry at the polls No
vember 18th, MORE THAN ONE
HALF THE PRESENT IN
COME OF THE STATE WILL
BE IMMEDIATELY WIPED
OUT.
In that event, the state taxes
will be more than doubled as a
necessary and inevitable result.
At least SO, 000, 900 per year in
new taxes must be raised.
Where will you get it? From
the farm land. Prohibition
means A NEW TAX ON LAND.
All the money, notes and
bonds, and other chattels that
can be reached are being reach
ed today. Nc new revenues can
be had from that source. But
LAND LIES OUT OF DOORS.
1t cannot be hidden, or shifted
about, or taken away. The cit
les now, for the most part, are
bonded, assessed and taxed TO
THE CON STITUT1ONA AL
LIMIT on their real estate.
But, when it comes to taxing
the Missouri farm, the ~constitu-
tional limit has not yet been
reached-and may Heaven help
the farmer when it is reached!
When Missouri's state revenues
are cut in half, the assessing
boards will have to go TO THE
MISSOURI FARM for an ex-
ira three or four million dollars
per year, because they can go
NOWHERE ELSE. This means
a new and a BIGGER TAX ON
LAND than Missouri has ever
known before. 1t means a heav-
Ter burden than Missouri farm
ers have ever before been called
upon to bear. And all FOR
WHAT? Just to give the big
cities something that they don't
want, and accumulate for the
rural districts a tax burden that
THEY don't want and which
they cannot afford to bear.
A total of 7,121, 227.61 was
paid by the liquor industry to
the government of this state and
local subdivisions thereof in the
last two-year period, IN IL
AND INSPECTION
FEES ALONE NOT COUNT
ING REGULAR TAXES. When
that amount of money is taken

To take a tax-burden of 81,
121,227.61 (now being paid by
the cities) and hurl it without
warning upon the rural districts

dart hurled at the heart of every

LESS ACTIVITY ON
COTTON MARKET
Price Movement Shows Con-
tinued Irregularity and
Market Closed at Loss

New York, August 1.-THE cotton mar
ket was less active today and the price
movement was narrower but showed con-
tinued nervousness and irregularity, with
December contracts fuctuating between
1880 and 14.47c; closing at 143Sc. The
general list closed steady at net decline
of to points.
There were a few overnight buying or
ders around the ring at the opening which
had evidently been attracted by the adj
vance of yesterday afternoon and first
prices were steady with August 7 and Oc-
tober 3 points higher. Later months, how
ever, opened at unchanged prices to a de-
cline of 1 point owing to barely steady ca
bles, and active months generally sold
about to points net lower during the
early trading. Reports that ginning was
making some progress in southern Geor-
gia and numerous reports from the south
west rejecting the receipt of new crop
bales, seemed to inspire some scattering
local selling, and small offerings here
from southern sources were taken by
some traders as indicating an increased
disposition to hedge against new crop cot
ton. Liquidation was less in evidence than
earlier in the week, however, while trade
interests were moderate buyers and the
market turned frmer during the middle
of the day on the more threatening ap-
pearance of the West Indian and rather
a bullish construction of the weekly re-
port from the weather bureau. The adj
vance carried January contracts up from
a. 43c to 14.55c, with the general list selling
about to points net higher, but demand
failed to broaden and prices turned easier
In the late trading on reports of rain at
some points in Texas and rumors of in
creased spot offerings in the Atantics.
Prices reached the lowest point of the day
in the late trading, October selling off
from 14.28c to 1415c, while January de-
clined to 14.41c, or about to points net
lower. The close was or points up
from the bottom on covering. Reports
from the weather bureau indicated that
the West Indian disturbances was moving
more rapidly and might reach the Yucca
tan channel by Thursday afternoon.

ADVANCE CHECKED
ON WHEAT MARKET
Traders Hold Back for Rise,
But Find Plenty for Sale
When Bulge Came

Chicago, August 16-Yesterday's adj
vance in wheat apparently satisfied the
trade for the movement, as bulges were
seized upon today to take profits. The
result was a net loss of q to 1ssc. Corn
closed &c lower to a shade higher; oats
unchanged, and provisions irregular,
from 25c lower for December pork to 10c
up for October ribs.
The best prices for wheat were attained
earlier in the session. Crop advices con-
tinued bullish and Liverpool was higher,
and these factors encouraged holders for
the time being to hold back for a fur
Their rise. When it came, however, there
was plenty for sale, and thereafter every
bulge found selling orders waiting.
Some of the selling here was for the pur-
pose closing spreads between this mar
ket and those of the northwest. One
expert in Canada telegraphed that black
rust damage in Canada had reached its
maximum. The earliest arrival of new
wheat ever known at Winnipeg was re-
ported. 1t graded No. 4.
Corn prices covered a. range of &c and
were influenced largely by wheat adj
vancing early and reacting later on
profit taking. Official weather reports
included information that crop damage
in Illinois is less than rs per cent and
the same in Iowa. News of the oats crop
was not considered significant, and
prices reflected the trend in neighboring
pits Buying by seaboard exporters was
more than offset by local profit taking
Provisions advanced early on liberal
shipments of lard and the advance in
live hogs, with shorts leading in the buy
ing, but realizing sales later found little
support and the gain was mostly lost
Closing prices were at the bottom
Futures quotations were as follows:

TRADING UPSW|NGS
ON STOCK EXCHANGE
New British Loan Stimu-
lated Sentiment to Point
of Buoyancy

New York, August 1e.--Disregarding the
deadlock in the railway labor controversy
and the increasing pessimism reported
from western and northwestern agricul-
tural centers, today's market added va
riably but for the most part substan-
TALLY, to price accretions of the early
week.
Trading was the largest on the upswing
Of any session thus far this month and
|comprehended a far greater number Of
issues There were indications of ex-
tensive short covering and more than a
moderate inquiry from investment
sources.
Prices were merely firm at the outset,
| but gathered force before midday. The
terms of the new British loan. which is
expected to ease foreign pressure upon
this market seemed sufficiently attrac-
tive to stimulate speculative sentiment in
some issues to the point of buoyancy.
United States Steel, Mercantile Marine
common and preferred, Reading and the
more prominent motors and equipments
constituted the most active features.
Steel, on an overturn of about 10000
shares rose ~ to 911s, it's highest quota
ton since 1909 when it made the record
price of 94zs
Marine common attained new record
on its rise of 81 to 34%, with new maxi
NUNS for the old and new bonds, and
another shipping issue, Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies, established a new maxi
mum at 6S%
Other striking features included Cuban
American Sugar, which rose points On
the declaration of extra cash and stock
dividends; the Independent Steel and Iron
shares, munitions, motors, United States
industrial Alcohol and Mexicans. Gross
advances in these various issues which
were retained in large part at the close,

SELLING MOVEMENT
SENDS COTTON DOWN
Market Affected by Rail-
road Situation and
Weather Reports

New Orleans, August 16.-Liquidation
was the dominating influences in the
cotton market today and after a short
period of strength toward the middle of
the day, prices softened and declined
II points from the high of the session
on the most active months The selling
out movement on the long side was
prompted chiefly by what the trade took
to be indications of rain in the western
belt There was also more or less pes
simistic sentiment displayed regarding
the railroad situation. Short selling was
restricted by the fears regarding the
movement of the hurricane south of
Cuba, and at all times the pressure ap-
peared to come chiefly from holders Of
long contracts. The close was at net
loss for the session Of to 6 points.
In the early trading the market lost
to 6 points as the result of poor cables
and the improved weather conditions in
the eastern belt. Up to II o'clock, when
the weekly weather reports were posted
it was small market with little stead
mess. The weather reports were less
favorable than expected and prices firmed
up for a rise to a level poinst over
yesterdays close. After the noon hour
liquidation increased and the ring was
unable to absorb the offerings. At their
lowest the more active months were at
decline of 10 points under the last fig
ures of yesterday.
