STATE GOVERNMENT WILL COL
LAPSE.

STATE GOVERNMENT WILL COL
LAPSE.
No state with one-half the city
population Of Missouri has ever
thought of adopting state wide pro-
hibition.
No prohibition state ever did
depend 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
subtracting between three and four
million dollars per year from its
revenues. Everybody knows that
the state revenues today are by
law so levied as to be barely ade-
quate to meet the necessary ex-
penses of the state government.
State wide prohibition in Missouri
will therefore mean nothing less
than a total collapse of the state
government. The disastrous con-
ditious resulting from such an &C.
currence would be universal through
out the state. There is but one way
to avert a calamity SO terrible and
unprecedented, and that is to scratch
the ''yes'' on Amendment No. 8.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-11-02

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
revenues are cut in half, the assessing
boards will have to go TO THE
MISSOURI FARM for an extra three
or four million dollars per year, be-
cause they can 60 NOWHERE ELSE.
This means a new and a BIGGER
TAX ON LAND than Missouri has
ever known before. 1t means a
heavier burden than Missouri farmers
have ever before 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 81, 121, 227. 81 was paid by
the liquor industry to the govern
ment of this state and local sub
divisions thereof in the last two
year period, IN LICENSE AND IN
SPEOTION FEES ALONE, NOT
COUNTING REGULAR TAXES.
When that amount of money is taken
away from the state treasury at one
single blow, SOMEBODY has got to
make good the loss. Somebody has
got to PAY. And, Mr.. Farmer, Mr..
Home-owner, that "~somebody" will
be YOU.
From the political viewpoint, from
the financial viewpoint, from ANY
and EVERY viewpoint, state wide
prohibition in Missouri at this time
is wrong in principle, unwlse in
theory, unjust in application and inn
possible 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 q
death-dart hurled at the heart of
every farm-home in the state. II is
for the people to say, and especially
for the Missouri farmer to say on
November 7th: THIS THING SHALL
NOT BE DONE.
In ninety-six counties, now de-
pendent on the state for their road
and school funds, statewide pro-
hibition will Immediately bankrupt
the county treasures, the roads will
suffer ana the schools must close.
No more critical emergency has
ever confronted the people Of this
state, and there is no exaggeration in
the statement that state wide pro-
hibition means STATE WIDE RUIN.

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. With
out al active, profitable and con
venient market, there is no money in
farming. Every Missouri farmer
knows this to be the fact. The better
the market, the better the price Of
the farm. Whatever Injuries the
farmers market lowers the value Of
the farm, and hurts the farmer. All
this is known to everybody and is not
open to argument. 1t must be taken for
granted. It cannot and will not be
denied that THE MARKET MAKES
THE FARM.
1t never has been and il never
will be possible for q rich farming
community to exist without great
cities to buy and commune the pro-
ducts Of the farm. The nearest and
best market for Missouri farmers is
found in the three great cities of st.
Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph.
They are among the greatest grain
and live stock markets OF the world.
Missouri farmers have been told
land It is TRUE--that the manu-
facturers of malt and spirituous
liquors in this state buy and con-
sumo one-lifth OF the Missouri corn
crop, and other grain crops. But by
far the biggest and best market pro-
vided by the liquor industry Of the
cities for the products OF the Mis-
souri, farm lies in the PURCHASING

RELIEVE HEADACHES
WITHOUT DOSING
BY Applying Sloan's Liniment to
Forehead You Can Stop
the Severe Pains.

Many headaches are Of a neuralgia
origin. The symptoms OF such head
aches are intense and lingering pains
in the brow, temples or back OF the
head.
There is one certain relief that has
been known and recommended for
years back, Sloan's Liniment. One ap-
plication and the dull pain Is practi-
cally gone. 1t is easily applied with
out rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary,
as Sloan's Liniment quickly pene-
trates to the seat of trouble.
Aching muscles, rheumatism,
bruises, lumbago, chilblains, sprains
and stiff neck can also be most effec-
lively treated with Sloan's Liniment.
Cleaner than mussy plasters or ONT
ments; it does not stain the skin or
clog the pores.

Stolen Auto Found;
Recovered in Barn

J. V. Smith, 4l20 Nineteenth street,
appeared at police headquarters Sum-
day morning and identified a car
which the police recovered Saturday,
as his machine. He drove the auto
from Kansas City to Omaha about
ten days ago, and it was stolen from
Seventeenth and Harvey streets few
days later. Smith had been afraid
that his car might be stolen and since
coming to Omaha had taken the pre-
caution of tabulating every number
about the mechanism.
The machine was recovered in a
barn at Sixty-fourth and Wooiworth
streets, where the police were led by
a tip in regard to the alleged auto
stealing syndicate, whose alleged
members are under arrest in Omaha
and Sioux City. Officer John Unger
has left for Sioux City to bring back

 One New Haven dealer reported to the shell fisheries commission that conditions in his harbor alone were such that the oystermen are assured of getting a big set out in the waters of Long Island sound.
 Practically every bed that has been tested shows a large percentage of the shells bearing a set that experts claim are as perfect as possible. It is claim ed that this set will produce more oys- ters than in 1908 at which time the industry received it's biggest boom.
 Clerk Perry asserts that the reports brought in by the commission test boat Lucille, sent out to make tests, are very encouraging.
