A vote for state wide prohibition is
a vote 10 repeal the local option law.
1t costs $5,981, 134.00 per year to
run the state government, and more
than half the money comes from the
liquor industry.
When you vote to repeal the local
option law of this state, you vote to
destroy the American principle of
local self-government.
.
Wage-earners actually engaged in
the liquor industry in this state re-
ceive in wages approximately ten
million dollars per year. Who will
pay these wages when the state is vot-
ed dry?
j. Frank Hanley, Prohibition
candidate for President, predicts that
that Missouri will go wet" this year.
Nobody is making any bets to the con-
trary.
As matters now stand, the big cities
are contributing the bulk of the state
school and road funds. State-wid
prohibition will shift this burden to
the Missouri farm.
There are $4,000 citizens of Mis-
souri, who are directly or indirectly
dependant upon the liquor business
for their livelihood. In what way can
it help you to vote these people out
Of a job?
The constitution should never be-
amended for any purpose that can be
as well or better accomplished by leg
i~slative enactment; and our state leg
~islature can give us statewide prohi-
bition by statute whenever MISSOURI
wants it.
If anybody knows where the state
of Missouri can pick up an extra three
or four million dollars a year outside
of the present sources of revenue.
he should slip the word to Colonel
-
Gardner and Judge Lamm. Both are
running for Governor, and one Of them
may need this information next win
ter.
The capital involved in the liauor
industry in Missouri amounts to
81 100000. Prohibition would drive
least this much capital from the
state. This much we know. How
much capital would prohibition bring
into the state? This we don't know.
Missourians are not in the habit Of
giving up a dead sure thing for rank
uncertainty.
Under the proposed statewide pro-
hibition amendment mo. 81 no alco-
hol, or liquor containing alcohol, can
be made, used, sold, given away or
imported into this state for medical.
