The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1916-12-21

The Courier force viii take
weeks rest during Christmas
week. No paper will be printed
and no job work done. Our next
issue will be Thursday, Jan 4,
1917. We take this opportunity
to wish each of our readers and
friends one of the merriest of
merry Christmastes they have
ever enjoyed; and the hope that
the New Year will bring you
health, happiness and prosperity.
And to those, who may have sui
fered misfortune or whose fire
sides may have a vacant chair
for the first time-we extend SYM
patty and all the tender senti-
ments of the season, for only
time can restore and bring conso-
lation--which must come from
the Giver of all good gifts. Good
wishes-and goodbye until the
New Year.
The Courier is pleased to ac-
knowledge a social call from our
old friend Ii. ID. Smith, formerly
of this section, but now of
Almyra, Ark. Mr.. Smith is in
love with Arkansas. He is put
ting 400 acres of his fine land in
pecans, and already has over a
1000 growing trees. When one
considers that a good bearing tree
will pay as much as $50 year
a. one did at Hickman this sea-
son-it would seem that MIR.
Smith has an eye for business.
He also incidently informed us
that he has 200 bushels of fine
lrish potatoes ready for the
market.
Jas. Townsend and his good
wife contributed largely toward
. merry Christmas for the Cou-
rier editors, when Jim came wag-
ging in q big, long sack of fine
country sausage, Friday, and pre-
sented it with their compliments.
Such tangible expressions of
kindness makes the heart glad
and the editorial countenance
cracks open in joyful apprecia-
ton, and If our ship" ever
comes in, Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend
shall accompany us ON a long
voyage through the sunny climes
at southern seas.
Hickman merchandise had a
heavy trade Saturday, in fact,
one OF the best business days in
many months. Folks all seemed
TO be well supplied with mazuma
and were buying literally both
in winter goods and for old
Santa.
The snow and bad weather of
last week put a crimp in cotton
picking, and incidently thousands
Of dollars failed to go into the
channels Ct trade which would
have been paid out under favora-
BILE weather conditions.
The final holiday rush is ON,
and Hickman merchants are get
ting . generous out-of-town trade
this year, all nearby towns hav-
ing bean represented by Christ
ma shoppers during the past
week.
The emery men may drink
booze and smoke smelly pipes
and chew filthy tobacco. But,
Bles Pat, they don't kiss each
ether.
Many . hog went from the fat
teming pen to the smoke-house

Goodbye until 1917.

But LAND LIES OUT OF DOORS.
1t cannot be hidden, or shifted about,
or taken away. The cities now, for the
most part, are bonded, assessed and
taxed TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL
LIMIT on their real estate. !
But, when it comes to taxing the
Missouri farm, the constitutional limit
has not yet been reached-and may
Heaven help the farmer when it is
reached! When Missouri's state re-
venues are cut in half, the assessing
boards will have to go TO THE MIS-
souri, FARM for an extra three or
four million dollars per year, because
they can go NOWHERE ELSE. This
means a new and a BIGGER TAN ON
LAND than Missouri has ever known
before. 1t means a heavier burden
than Missouri farmers have ever be-
fore been called upon to bear. And
all FOR WHAT? Just to give the big
cities something that they don't want
and accumulate for the rural districts
a tax burden that THEY don't want
and which they cannot afford to bear.
A total of $7,121, 227.61 was paid by
the liquor industry to the government
of this state and local subdivision
thereof in the last two-year period,
IN LICENSE AND INSPECTION
FEES ALONE NOT COUNTING
REGULAR TAXES. When that
amount of money is taken away from
the state treasury at n single blow,
| SOMEBODY has got to make good
the loss. Somebody has got to PAY.
And, Mr.. Farmer, Mr.. Homeowner,
that somebody" will be YOU.
From the political viewpoint, from
the financial viewpoint, from ANY
and EVERY viewpoint, statewide
prohibition in Missouri at this time is
wrong in principle, unwise in theory,
unjust in application and impossible
in practice.
To take a tax-burden of $7,121,-
227.61 (now being paid by the cities)
and hurl it without warning upon the
rural districts of Missouri would be a
death-dart hurled at the heart OF
every farm-home in the state. 1t is
for the people to say, and especially
for the Missouri farmer to say on
November 7th: THIS THING SHALL
NOT BE DONE.
In n~inety-six counties, now depend
ent on the state for their road and
school funds, statewide prohibition
will Immediately bankrupt the county
treasures, the roads will suffer anc
the schools must close. No more
critical emergency has ever confront
ed the people of this state, and there
! is no exaggeration in the statemen
that statewide prohibition mean

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
MEANS STATE WIDE
RUIN
State Government viii Collapse

State Government Will Collapse
No state with one-half the city
population of Missouri has ever
thought of adopting statewide pro-
hibition.
No prohibition state ever did de-
pend so largely upon the revenues
which come from the liquor and allied
industries of the large cities as does
Missouri.
The State government today is not
in such a financial condition as to be
able to withstand the shock of sub
tracing between three and four MIL
lion dollars per year from its reven-
ues. Everybody knows that the state
revenues today r by law so levied
as to be barely adequate to meet the
necessary expenses Of the state gov
eminent. Statewide prohibition In
Missouri will therefore mean nothing
less than a total collapse of the state
government. The disastrous condi-
lions resulting from such an occur
renee would be universal throughout
the state. There is but n way to
avert a calamity so terrible and un-
pr~ecedented, and that is to scratch the
eyes" on Amendment No. 3.
Destroying The Farmers Market.
Every Missouri farmer knows that
the value of his farm depends in large
degree upon the availability of the
market for farm products. Without
an active, profitable and convenient
market, there is no money in farm
ing. Every Missouri farmer knows
this to be the fact. The better the
market, the better the price of the
farm. Whatever Injuries the farm.
er's market lowers the value Of the
| farm, and hurts the farmer. All this
is known to everybody and is not oper
to argument. 1t must be taken fol
granted. 1t cannot and will not be
denied that THE MARKET MAKES
THE FARM.
1t v has been and it never viii
be possible for a rich farming com
munity to exist without great citie'
to buy and consume the products O.
the farm. The nearest and best mar
lot for Missouri farmers is found il
the three great cities of st. Louis
Kansas City and st. Joseph. They ar
among the greatest grain and liv
stock markets of the world.
Missouri farmers have been told
and it is TRUE-that the manufac
turers of malt and spirituous liquor
in this state buy and consume one
fifth of the Missouri orn crop in tn
manufacture of their product. l
substantially similar proportions the
