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 10
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,OO0 in
1914
Driving the saloons out did not in
crease the extra clerk hire cost from
$50 900 in 1901 to S156,000 in 1914
Liquor has never produced sanity,
so driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost of conducting
insane asylums from $665,000 in 1901
to 81 ,509O in 1914
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost of the bank
ing department from $4,000 in 1901 to
SO, 900 in 1914.
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost of taking care
of the feeble minded from $4,000 In
1901 to $751; 900 In 1914.
Driving the saloons out could not
have increased the cost of the Uni
versity of Michigan from $2S4,000 in
1901 to $2,163 900 in 1914.
Driving the saloons out did not In.
crease the cost of the state normal
schools from $4,000 in 1901 to more
than s675,000 In 1914.
The cost OF every department OF
state has increased In proportion. rs
the result of lavish expenditure of
the money Of the people.
The cost Of many Of the institutions
has been increased because of the
crime and degeneracy caused by the
saloon.
The saloon can never be figured as
an asset Invariably 1t Is a liability.

Denver's Old Drink Bill.

Under the prohibition law Of Col
orado common carriers must file re-
ports Of liquor shipped into that state.
In March, 5,1S6 packages went into
Denver, the value thereof being $780,
900. The "wets" argue from this that
prohibition does not prohibit.
Mr.. Arthur Holloway, a Denver at
torney, points out that the average
consumption Of liquor in Denver dur
ing her wet days was 100000 per
month, and that the city is actually
saving $450,O0O per month as a result
of prohibition.
