One Question the Lawyer Didn't Ask

One question the Lawyer Didn't ASK
A lawyer for a railway company
once had to defend his employer
from the charge Of negligence in the
case of a farmer whose produce cart
was demolished at a grade crossing,
not without bodily injury to the farm
er himself, who was driving.
The accident happened at night, and
the pricipal witness was an .old color
ed man who was on guard armed with
lantern to signal the approach of
trains.
"Now John," said the lawyer, "did
you swing your lantern when you saw
the cart coming?"
"Yassir, l sut'nly did, sub, done
swung that lantern right crost de
road"
On the strength of this testimony
the lawyer won his case. He took
occasion to thank the witness.
"Much obleeged to yo', Marse
Torm," replied that worthy. Use

not. | am not afraid of the
women's vote. 1t is my candid
opinion that if all the women in
Montana, not only the members
of the w. C.. T. U. will use their
suffrage, prohibition will be de-
cisivcly defeated. We certainly
have enough women in the state
who either understand the folly
and injustice of prohibition or
are open to conviction. Let me
only refer to California. In that
state, with the women's vote,
prohibitionists were administer
ed a defeat which they will not
forget. We will do the same
thing in Montana, and the
women will help us do it. No, |
do not believe Butte will go

tell him what Butte will be un-
der prohibition.
Butte will not be a ''dry'' city.
Prohibition has never prohibited
the use of intoxicahts. l need
only refer to Kansas, the banner
prohibition state. According to
official revenue reports there
were 735 tax stamps issued in
1913, permitting the sale of
liquor in that state. Prohibition
docs not prohibit the sale of
liquor in Kansas. The imports
of liquor into Kansas for 1913
amounted t9 about $4,000. 900
quarts, which was mostly whis-
key. 1t is SO in every other So
called ''dry'' state. When was
in North Dakota last spring

most every station beer kegs
and beer cases and whiskey
cases, until | felt that the only
freight handled extensively in
that state was liquor.

$50 inhabitants, | counted q

Prohibition will not increase
temperance in Butte. Wherever
prohibition has been tried. it has
been found wanting. Let us
look at ''dry" Kansas. In To.
pcka, Kan. there was, in 1914
one arrest for drunkenness tt
every 64 residents, whereas, il
"wct" Cincinnati. Ohio. there
was only one to every 267 resi-
dents. The Associated Press re-
ported OH Jan. 1. 1915. that il
1914, among 2.2OO arrests in To
peka, Kan, 661 were for drunk
enncss. This certainly show.
that prohibition is a farce. Butte

It Is. The tax levy this year is

policemen under prohibition;
we will also have prisoners and
paupcrs and must care for them.
Prohibition will lower rents
for business houses and dwell
llngs. 1t will change Butte into
a cheap, penny town. You
empty 250 or more business
places and see what the result
will be. You vacate 1000 or
more dwellings and see what
will happen. Prohibition will
also endanger the present wage
scale. 1t has done so wherever
it has been in force.

to say:
''1here have been detected
every year more than twice as
many illicit distilleries as there
arc legal distilleries, and they
are confined to states where pro-
hibition obtains almost totally"
Such will be the conditions if

CONCRETE THE GUNBARREL ROAD FOR
GETTING RETURNS FOR MONEY INVESTED

While this may be an unusual case,
we know that similar ones occur
many times during the year in every
community at the mercy of bad
roads. So we see that not only will
we save in time and horsepower on
what we do haul, but we will save
ourselves from loss through not be.
ing able to get to market easily and
quickly, regardless of the weather,
when prices are at the top.
Higher traffic speed, with larger
loads drawn by fewer horses or less
tractive power, and a road to traffic
$50 days in the year, these added
together give us a combination that
will easily save us the original cost
of the road.
On the second point-that of
maintenance-the strong argument
in favor of concrete is so conclusive
that further consideration is un-
necessary. An average of $50 per
mile per year will cover the cost of
keeping the concrete road like new,
as against anywhere from 5000 to
$1,000 per mile for waterbound
macadam. So far as trying to keep
a dirt road in order is concerned,
we know it cannot be done, and the
money spent in that way is without
doubt money wasted.
We now come to the third point
increase of land values-as one pos
sible way of repaying ourselves for
investing in this road. Here again,
we are sure of our facts From Bull
letin 1876 which has been sent to us
by the United States government, we
find that in Manatee county, Florida,
as a result of systematic road i'm
provement, land along the road in
creased in value $40 per acre from
1911 to 1912, while even a mile
away from the road the increase was
$40 per acre. In Spottsylvania
ly sold at an average of $24.74 per
acre, changed hands within three
years at an average of $44.74. In
Is instances in Dinwiddie county
Virginia, land between five and ten
miles from Petersburg advanced on
an average from $15.25 to $50, and
ii sixteen instances land ten miles
from town increased s16.32 an acre.
On eight pieces of land in Franklin
county, selected at random, there
was an increase in value of Pts per
cent after the improved roads were
built, and in Lee county, Virginia,
land advanced 25 per cent.
Wayne county, Michigan, spent
$2,0O0,000 on construction and
maintenance in the eight years from
1906 to 1914 inclusive, and in this
period the assessed valuation of
property in the county, outside of
the city of Detroit, increased from
S62, 1000 to $114.54S, 100 or 80
per cent. OF this increase 35 per
cent or $22,OO0,OOO is credited to
road improvement, because the as
sessed valuation of Detroit increased
only AIT per cent. The increase in
county valuation above the rate of
increase in the city was eleven times
the cost of road work, or 100 per
cent profit in eight years on the total
investment in improved lands.
Considering these three points
