Prohibition VS.. Local Option

A striking Contrast of the Two
Methods
l. Local option means at least so
licensed saloons in Vermont each year.
PROHIBITION WILL CLOSE
EVERY ONE OF THEM.
2. Local Option fosters the dive
and the bootlegger. The saloonkeepers
say "They are our best customers"
PROHIBITION with TEETH
WILL PINCH THEM.
3. Local option means million
dollars of Vermont money worse than
wasted in licensed liquor saloons each
year.
PROHIBITION WILL SEND MUCH
OF THIS MONEY INTO CHANNELS
OF USEFUL SERVICE.
A. Local option compels a dozen
strong no-license towns to suffer from
the licensed saloons of town like
Bethel, which gave majority of one
vote for license.
PROHIBITION WILL PUT AN
END TO THAT NUISANCE.
5. Local option means the part
nership of state in the drunkard-mak-
ing liquor traffic through the license
fees received.
PROHIBITION WILL DISSOLVE
THAT PARTNERSHIP.
G. Local option in Vermont is
favored at the present time by the
liquor interests of the whole country,
just as they favor license in New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania.
PROHIBITION is VIOLENTLY
OPPOSED BY THESE SAME LIQUOR
INTERESTS IN VERMONT, JUST AS
THEY OPPOSE LOCAL OPTION IN
THE LICENSE STATES OF NEW
JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA.
The only "Bulwark of Temperance" is
State Wide Prohibition.

Sees BRIEF LETUP
IhU. 5. PROSPERITY
Col. E. G. Buckner OF du-
Pont Co. Says il Will Go
on After War
PLENTY OF WORK
FOR ALL CLASSES

The non-renewal Of munition con-
tracts by the Allies in the United
States does not necessarily mean that
the war Will end in 1916" said Col
+. G. Buckner' q vice-president OF
the dupont Powder Company. while
in New York yesterday.
Neither does IL mean that the war
won't end until then" he continued.
What il does mean is that the Al
lies. and in particularly England have
made arrangements for the manufac-
ture Of sufficient shells and ammuni-
tion themselves"
The Colonel who. with his wife, is
spending a few days az the Waldorf
prior TO going 10 Maine for a vaca-
ton, said that England wisely did not
want to continue a situation where
she was dependent on foreign nations
for the supply Of ammunition.
There is no doubt that the war has
brought a tremendous prosperity TO
the United States. Travel from east
to west and you won't find an idle
man. Just before the war there was
a deplorable stagnation in business.
In my own works our normal number
Of employees Is between 10 600 and
10000 Yet before the outbreak Of
the war the depression was so great
that this number was reduced 70 un-
/ der 5000. After the outbreak Of the
war we didn't begin 10 manufacture
powder for the Allies until October
1914, and then we hired every man
who presented himself until the month
before last we were employing Sc 900
Some idea Of the prosperity whicl
followed may gauged by the fac
that in far less than two years we hav
paid $40, 100000 in wages. Indirectly
by the ordering of new machinery an
our orders 10 other manufacturers, w
have caused payment in wages Of rroo
ably another half Of that amount. Wha
has happened in our one concern ha
happened generally"
Asked if the end Of the war woul
not cause a relapse 10 the ante-beliur
stagnation, the Colonel replied he didn
think 20.
Our country he said, can get alYn
with half the prosperity it has enioye
during the last twenty-three m1ath
The ruined countries of Europe must I
rebuilt and they must come TO us fc
their raw material"
