While Missouri counties have
been gradually going dry" the
state Of Missouri has been just
as gradually increasing the finan-
cial sid it offers the county roads
and schools until today the public
school apportionn ent, amount to
substantially two million dollars
for 1916, is the largest in the
history of the state. o
This money is all going out Of
the state treasury into various
countries.
Where does the state GET all
this money? And where would
the COUNTIES get it if the
state didn't furnish it? Ever
think of that? It's worth think
ing about.
Ninety-siX of the one hundred
and fourteen counties of this
state DO NOT CONTRIBUTE
ONE CENT toward the support
of the state government, All
tnat they pay into the state
treasury is paid back to them by
the state for their county govern
ment, mostly for roads and school
AND NEARLY A MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR BESIDES.
That is a rather remarkable
fact, but it is TRUE. 1t is a
matter of PUBLIC RECORD.
Now, let US tell you another
fact not so remarkable. but none
the less a FACT. 1t is simply
this: Nearly all of the ninety
six counties above mentioned are
DRY counties.
Itis right and proper that these
counties should receive this state
aid for their roads and schools,
because roads and schools are
matter of statewide concern.
But if the state of Missouri loses
any great part of its present in
come it will have to withdraw its
aid.
