Consider the Cost.

A total of $7,121, 277.61 was paid
by the liquor industry to the govern
ment of this state and the local sub
divisions thereof during the last two
year period, in LICENSE AND IN
SPECTION FEES ALONE. The
regular taxes paid by the distillers,
wholesalers, retailers and various 9TH
er industries allied with the so-callcd
liquor total. If this source of income
is wiped out, this seven million of
dollars will have to be made up. THE
ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT UP IS TO
INCREASE THE STATE, CITY AND
COUNTY TAXES. The taxpayers
will have to pay seven million of dol
lars additional taxes. Why should
Missouri consider imposing seven mil
lion of dollars additional taxes on the
people of the state at this time? Can
Missouri and the counties and cities
thereof afford to wipe out this in
come of seven million of dollars?
The taxpayers of Missouri arc
asked to wipe out over half the income
of the state during the next biennial
period without putting anything in the
place OF it, and the farmer and mer-
chant and mechanic and banker and
professional mar in Charlton County.
or any other county in Missouri, in
which the saloons have been voted out
by the people under our existing local
option law, is asked to increase his
taxes about fifty per cent, in order to
deprive st. Louis, Kansas City and
other large cities of the privilege of a
regulated liquor traffic, which the
plSple of the cities desire. Taxpay-
ers will no doubt carefully consider
this proposition before voting for
statewide prohibition. Other people
may try governmental experiments of
all kinds without any feeling of re-
sponsibility, but the taxpayer foots
bills, and he has to count the
cost. (Ady.)

Home Rule in Missouri.

Twenty-seven years ago a local OPP.
tion law was passed by the Missouri
General Assembly, which permits each
county in the state, and cities of over
$500 inhabitants, to withhold from or
issue licenses to dramshops, as the
people of the respective cities or
counties may determine by their
votes.
This is true HOME RULE. 1t en-
bodies the American principle of local
self-government. Your COUNTY has
HOME RULE-you have dealt with
the liquor traffic without OUTSIDE
interference-that is American and
Democratic. But why should not the
LARGE CITIES have HOME RULE,
too, and be permitted to deal with the
question as seems best to them,
without OUTSIDE interference? You
don't want the CITIES to govern
YOU in this matter; why should YOU
want to govern the CITIES?
Don't you think that if your county
is permitted to be wet" or dry as

A Revelation to Cancer Sufferers

A new book on cancer has just been
published by DR.. o. A. johnson, Suite
524, 1920 Main ST., Kansas City, Mo-,
which shows how cancer has been
treated by a combination medical
treatment and proven so efficient there
is no longer any question or doubt
about the treatment for most kinds of
cancer If taken in time. Absolute
proof of this treatment can now be
verified by living witnesses who were
treated three to fifteen years ago.
Write today for a copy of the book. 1t
will be sent free for the asking. Adv

it may elect, that the CITIES SHOULD
HAVE THE SAME RIGHT? Isn't
that fair? ISN'T THE HOME RULE
A SQUARE DEAL FOR CITIES
AND COUNTRY ALIKE?
If you think the prohibition rule
should be made to work BOTH ways.
vote AGAINST the prohibition
amendment.
If you think a MAJORITY
SHOULD RULE, vote against the
prohibition amendment.
If you believe in HOME RULE,
vote against the prohibition amend
ment.
A wet" vote is a vote to leave the
COUNTRY "DRY" as it NOW is.
and to leave the cities "WET" as they
NOW ARE. Isn't that the FAIR
WAY to settle the matter-doing unto
the cities as you would have the cities
do unto the country, making the Home
Rule work both ways?
Constitutional prohibition would at
a single stroke decapitate this princi-
pie of Home Rule and destroy at a
blow the ~inalienable right of local
self-government

The Square Deal.

The fair nan stands for the square
deal-doing unto others as he would
be done by. He believes it is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
If you are that kind of a man, we
want a word with you on the matter
OF statewide prohibition.
You have prohibition now in your
county through local option-IF A
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE FAV-
OR 1T. The large cities regulate the
liquor traffic via the High License
System-a majority of the people fay
or it.
Would you think it fair to give the
large cities in Missouri the power to
vote saloons upon your COUNTY re-
CARELESS of your protest in the mat
ter? Of course, you would not, and
the cities have no power nor DISPOSE
ton to do such an unjust thing. That's
one way the prohibition rule works.
On the other hand, do you think it
fair for YOUR COUNTY to vote the
saloon out of the LARGE CITIES re-
CARELESS of their protest in the mat
ter? You have the power, and you
may do that very unjust thing. That's
the OTHER way the prohibition rule
DOESN'T work.
If the large cities have no power to
make the county "wet," why should
the county want to exercise its arbi-
trary power to make the cities dry?
Should not the county DO AS IT
WOULD BE DONE BY? A square
deal for the "dry" COUNTIES, yes;
but why should there not also be a
square deal for the CITIES? Should
not the prohibition rule be made to
work BOTH WAYS?
You believe in the majority rule
that's why your county is "wet" or
"dry"-A MAJORITY OF THE PEG
PILE ARE RULING. When Missouri
votes on the "wet" and "dry" propo-
sition November It'll, should not the
majority rule? OF course, it should,
say you, and so say we all, but it may
not. If the state gives a dry" ma
all the state will be "dry,"
a majority ruling that's ONE way
the prohibition rule works. But if the
state votes "wet," all the state will
not be "wet," a majority not ruling
that's the OTHER way the prohibi-
lion rule DOESN'T work.
A "wet" majority of 100000 will
not make M additional foot of "wet"
territory in Missouri, while a "dry"
majority of one vote will make ALL
# the "wet" territory "dry." In other
words, the prohibition majority rule
loes not work BOTH ways. Is this a
SQUARE DEAL? Is it FAIR and
RIGHT? If a majority can make
ALL the state dry" why should not
| majority make ALL the state
WHO WILL ANSWER?

SLAUGHTER'S SECOND
TRIAL GOES ON TODAY
Present Charge Is For Of
fense Committed On a
Different Date

Oroville, CAL April 26.-Rev. Madi
son Slaughter yesterday went to trial
for the second time on charge of at
taeking Gertrude Lamson, aged Is. In
his first trial the jury disagreed. The
present charge alleges an Offense com
mitted On different date.
It had been expected that Slaughter's
attorneys would ask for a change Of
venue, claiming that it would be i'm
possible to have a fair trial here, but
the anticipated request failed to ma
terialize.
More than so prospective jurors were
on hand today. 1t is believed likely
that additional veniremen will-have to
be summoned before jury is obtained
Slaughter was in court with his
family. The room was crowded. many
who were unable to get inside cluster
ing around the doors.
The sheriff's office claimed to have
evidence that Slaughter sympathizers
had talked with some of the venire-
men.
1t is likely that the attorney gener-
ais office will not help the prosecution,
as it did in the first trial. Prominent
