DRIVING OUT SALOONS
Does Not Increase. But VIII Decrease
Taxes.

The Michigan booze barons are set
ting up the claim that the high taxes
In the state are due to the fact that
the saloons have been driven out of
So many counties. The booze vendors
grasp at every straw and they give no
consideration to facts, says Coles Re-
view. But here are some facts;
Driving the saloons out did not in
crease the salaries of state officers,
but those salaries increased from
1901 to 1914 almost 80 per cent, or
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Driving the saloons out did not In
crease the salaries of the judicial de-
partment Of the state, but they in
creased more than 10 per cent, or
from 100000 in 1901 to $239,O00 In
1914
Driving the saloons out did not In
crease the extra clerk hire cost from
1888 900 In 1901 to $156,00O in 1914.
Liquor has never produced sanity,
so driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost OF conducting
insane asylums from s665,000 in 1901
to s1.5O9,O0O in 1914.
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost Of the bank
ing department from $4,000 in 1901 to
BIS, 900 In 1914.
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost OF taking care
Of the feeble minded from $S1 900 In
1901 to $151 900 in 1914
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost of the Uni
vers,ty of Michigan from $2S4.000 in
1901 to s2.163, 900 in 1914.
Driving the saloons out did not In
.rease the cost of the state normal
schools from s1eO, 900 IN 1901 to more
than se7b,0 900 In 1914.
The cost OF every department o.
,tate has increased IN proportion, ~
the result OF lavish expenditure o'
tho money of the people.
The cost OF many OF the institution
has been increased because of the
crime and deseneraoy caused By the
salooa.

shipments will be for a year.
Since prohibition became effective
January 1 Mr.. Churchill has compiled
the statistics on importations under
the dry law and compared them with
the figures on liquor consumption and
expenditures for liquor before last

Based on the volume of April ship

Portland is spending only rs per cent
