PROHIBITION
AND THE SINGLE TAX

While Missouri counties have been
gradually going dry the state of
Missouri has been just as gradually
increasing the financial aid it offers
the county roads and schools until
today the public school apportion-
ment, amounting to SUBSTANTIALLY
two million dollars for 1916, is the
largest ia the history OF the state.
This money as going out Of the
state treasury into the various
counties.
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? 1t
is worth thinking about
Nnety-siX OF the one hundred and
fourteen counties Of this state DO
NOT CONTRIBUTE ONE CENT
toward the support of the state gov
eminent All hat they pay into the
state treasury in taxes is paid back to
them due the state for their county gov
eminent, mostly for roads and schools,
AND NEARLY A MILLION DOL
AIRS A YEAR BESIDES.
That is a rather remarkable fact,
but it is true. 1t is a matter of PUB
Lie 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.
1t is very right and proper that
these counties should receive this
state aid for their roads and schools,
because roads and schools are matters
Of statewide concern But if the
state Of Missouri loses any great part
Of its present income IT WILL HAVE
TO WITHDRAW ITS AID.
4 total Of S7,121.227.6l lover
eighty per cent Of which came from
the big eitiesl was paid by the liquor
industry to the government of this
state and the local subdivisions there
Of during the last two-year period in
LICENSE AND INSPECTION FEES
alone. NOT COUNTING THE REG
ULAR TAXES paid by the manu-
facturers, wholesalers and retailers
in the liquor business and allied in
dustries.
Statewide prohibition would auto
m~atically shut off just about one-half
the present income of the state. Where
then, would these counties go for the
moneys they are receiving from the
state? Where COULD they go.
Dc you know of any available source
Of evenu that is not ALREADY
pretty well exhausted? Do you know
of any NEW source Of revenue? Does
ANYBODY know where Missouri
could pick up three Of four million
dollars a year outside the present
sources Of revenue?
With the state treasury bankrupt,
these nincty-six counties could have
but one place 10 80 for the road and
school moneys they nov get firm the
states. They would have to 90 TO

THE FARM and put a BIGGER TAX
ON THE FARM
The cities and towns are now, for
the most part, TANED To THE CON
STITUTIoNAL LIMIT, Any in
crease in taxes must COME FROM
THE FARM PROPERTY for the very
good reason thai 1T CAN'T COME
FROM ANYWHERE ELSE.
Do you DOUBT it? Does ANY
BODY doubt il. Whore else could
Barry County 60 for that S~3l,SS7.52
which 1t is annually receiving from
the state, if not from the farm Where
could Burton county get the S2S,OO992
Il is now receiving from the state, II
/ net from the farm? Where
on earth could Dallas County go to
get the yearly income Of S2O,SbS.ll
it now draws from the state treasury,
il not from the farm? How could
Dade County ever raise the S23, l09.56
per year it now gets from ID,
without vastly Increasing the taxes
on Dade County farms? And so on,
down the line. The same is true of
Dent County, which now puts s5,797,6S
into the state treasury and gets back
SlS,S3S.35; Of Douglas County, which
pays S6,S44.07 and gets back S24,-
623.4S; of Dunklin County, which pays
Sl6.009.9S in statt taxes, while taking
out of the state treasury the sum of
S29,S02.79; Of Henry County, which
puts in $21, 357.57 and takes out $685.
477.4S; of Hickory County, which gives
S5,7l6.19 and gets back S10,970.04
from the state; Of Howell, which pays
a state tax of S9,G25.23 and receives
out Of the state treasury in return
the sum of s27.996.O5; of Mcdonald
County, which pays s7,042.45 and gets
back S19,172.S1; of Miller, which pays
S7,S4S.4l and gets back S20,092.S6; of
Texas County, which pays sS,523.75
and gets back S35,617, 99-and so of
all the rest.
These ninety-siX counties are nearly
all agricultural counties-AND THE
FARMER WILL HAVE TO PAY.
He will have to do it if anybody does.
In many of the counties the burden of
taxation is already very great, and in
these counties the farmer will have to
choose between closing the district
school and increasing the tax on the
farmland he may have to do BOTH.
II this conclusion is not true, DIS
PROVE it if you can. FIGURE IT
OUT YOURSELF. Mr.. Taxpayer for
YOU will have to pay, Under state
wide prohibition the burden is certain
to be shifted back upon the ninety-six
counties which nov pay nothing to the
state, and in a majority Of these coun-
ties it means a shifting Of the bur
den to the farm. Could SINGLE
TAX be any worse? In its ultimate
effect upon Missouri farmers is there
any DIFFERENCE between state
wide prohibition and the single tax?
Again we say, FIGURE IT OUT FOR
YOURSELF, Mr.. Farmer. for this
thing Is going to hit YOU. dl-wI

Arab Isborers are now successfully
operating two American brickmaking
machines in what is said to be the
original site OF the Garden OF Eden.
When the contract was given by the
Turkish government to British COM
pany. the use Of concrete was consid-
cred When this plan proved too ex-
pensive. it was decided to use bricks
made by the Arabs in the vicinity. But
these bricks were made by hand. and
were as costly as the concrete. Ma
chimes for making bricks were next
Imported from England. Germany and
Belgium. and each was In turn found
to be too complicated to be used by
the Arabs. Finally couple OF Ameri-
can hrickmaking plants were in

that the laborers could easily work
them. Those IN charge OF the
