Our Exports, Now and When Peace Comes

1t is a matter of a very great deal
of importance as we'll as interest how
much of the present prosperity of the
country is due to war munitions or
ders. Statistics show that less than
three per cent of our exports for the
last fiscal year was war munitions;
but of curse a great many other ex-
ports, such as horses, automobiles,
food and other things wer used in
the military operations. However
that may be, the fact still remains
that the proportion is not very great
and the probability is that it will be
more than made up for by the other
needs of Europe when peace is de-
clared. Charles M. Schwab, chairman
of directors of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, in "System" says:
"Although the United States is
shipping a larger proportion of fab
ricated articles and raw materials than
ever before, the bulk of these fab
ricated articles is drawn from the Or
binary course of business.
II do not expect any sudden change
in manufacturing conditions immedi-
ately upon the coming of peace
Peace will affect only future and moi
present orders. So far as the steel
trade is concerned, peace will bring
no sudden change and there will be
ample time and opportunity to trans
form gradually most of the purely
munitions plants into ordinary ma
chine factories.
81 am entirely optimistic" he CON
tinues, las to the future of the United
States, provided the business of the
nation and the business of the in
dividual are managed on SOUND
economic lines. We should be able
not only to keep all that we have but
to get more"
Coming from the real head of the
concern that has proited so greatly
by war orders, Mr.. Schwab's opinion
very effectively eohtradicts the idea
the Republicans have attempted te
disseminate, that with the cessation
of war orders our Fictitious" pros.
perity will vanish. On the contrary
the business of the nation was never
more solidly established or a sound
economic basis. The only thing likely
to disarrange it is a change in admin
istration.

The "dry" counties of Missouri
are being asked to vote the liquor
industry out of the big cities, an
industry with which the big cities
are entirely satisfied; and in doing
this they are asked to vote an extra
tax on themselves which the cities
are now paying, but which a be
no longer paid when the liquor in
dustry is abolished. Thus, the "dryn
counties are asked to give the cities
something that the cities don't want,
in order to take owe to themselves a
burden which the "dry" counties
don't want.
Ninety six counties are now draw
ing more money from the State than
they pay in. These counties do not
pay a cent of the cost of the State
government. When you cripple the
State treasury by destroying it's in
come from the liquor business, you
destroy the ability of the State to
pay the money it is nov paying to
these ninety-six counties.
Following is the list of ninety Elk
counties with the amounts paid to
the State by them in the year 1915.
These figures are from the State
records. You may verify them by

pose other than 'tsacramental." That
is the language, the spirit, the mean
ing, and the legal effect of the pro-
posed amendment. Read it for your
self and see.
A tree is known by its fruit; public
measures by their effects upon the
people. If the single tax would ruin
farmers by casting the burdens of
governmental support upon real es-
tate, SO would state wide prohibition
operate likewise in a majority of the
counties. There is no other place
to go for the state which
state wide prohibition would take
away.
Mr.. Dry Voter: If the big cities
had the power to vote your county
"wet' you would not think it. right or
fair for them to do SO, would you?
Do you, then, think it right or fair
for the ''dry'' counties to use their
power to vote the big cities "dry?"
OF course not. You will do unto
others as you would have others do
unto you. The Golden Rule is always
a safe guide. 1t works both ways.
No "dry" county in this state has
ever yet done without the liquor
revenues. The bulk of the road and
school funds paid by the state of Mis-
souri, to the counties comes from this
scource. In every instance the sum
amounts to more than the county
ever received from dram shops under
the license system before the county
was voted dry. You may learn at
your county court house exactly how
much your county ia receiving today
from the state for road and school
purposes. This is the amount you
will have to raise by direct taxation
in case s~tateswide prohibition is
adopted. There can be no more state
aid to counties if the state goes dry
without an increase of about fifty
per cent in state taxes.
In the last two-year period, the
state school fund apportioned to the
various counties of this state, out Of
the state treasury, amounted to
substantially four million dollars.
During the same period the state
treas ury itself received substantially
four million dollars from the liquor
industry of this state in licenses and
inspection fees, not counting the
regular taxes. Query: IF you strike
down the liquor industry of this state,
what will become of the state school
fund? And this question suggests
another: II you don't get the extra
four million dollars by increasing the
tax on real estate, where are you
going to get II? And still another
question. When 1t comes to in
creasing the tax on real estate, how
can you avoid placing the heavy end
OF the burden on the farm, in view OF
the fact that the present assessments
on real estate are already much
higher In the cities than In the rural
districts2-Adv.

Prohibition Paragraphs.

A vote for state wide prohibition
is a vote to repeal the local option
law.
1t costs 1881, 134.O0 per year to
run the state government, and more
than half the money comes from the
liquor industry,
When you vote to repeal the local
option law of this state, you vote to
destroy the American principle of
local self-government.
Wage-earners actually engaged in
the liquor industry in this state re-
ceive in wages approximately ten
million dollars per year. Who will
pay these wages when the state is
voted dry?
J. Frank Hanley, Prohibition,
candidate for President, predicts that
Missouri will go "wet" this year.
Nobody is making any bets to the
contrary.
As matters now stand, the big
cities are contributing the bulk of
the state school and road funds.
State wide prohibition will shift this
burden to the Missouri farm.
There are 1876 900 citizens of Mis-
souri, who are directly or Indirectly
dependent upon the liquor business
for their livelihood. In what way can
it help you to vote these people out
of a job?
The constitution should never be
amended for any purpose that can
be as well or better accomplished by
legislative enactment; and our state
Legislative can give us state wide
prohibition by statute whenever
Missouri wants it.
II anybody knows where the state
of Missouri can pick up an extra
three or four million dollars a year
outside of the present sources OF
revenue, he should clip the word to
Colonel Gardner and Judge Lamm.
Both are running for Governor, and
one of them may need this informa-
tion next winter.
The capital involved In the liquor
industry in Missouri amounts to
$3.50, 0OO, 900. 90. Prohibition would
drive at least this much capital from
the state. This much we know. How
much capital would prohibition bring
into the state? This we don't know
Missourians are not in the habit Of
giving up a dead sure thing for q rank
uncertainty.

prohibition amendment mo. 80 nc

can be used, made, sold, given away

through what they term potential
competition" This is an untenable
position.
1t amounts to saying that our
legislatures and our courts are
powerless to force the railroads to
charge reasonable rates for their
services. The act to regulate COM
merce, passed February 4, 1887. and
frequently amended since that date,
gives to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power to compel
railroads to charge rates which shall
be reasonable, and which shall not
discriminate between either COM
munitles or individuals. Supplement-
ing the interstate commerce act prac-
tically all of the states have similar
legislation on their statute books and
also railroad commissions charged
with the enforcement of their re-
spective laws. This argument for the
creation Of potential competition has
done more than anything else to de-
moralize our method Of appropriating
money for the Improvement OF inland
rivers. 1t has furnished the excuse
for the expenditure Of large sums upon
admittedly wasteful propositions.

McAdoo on Panama Bonds.

We confess inability to follow Mr..
nlcAdoo's logic when he contends
tends against the issue Of bonds to
meet the Panama canal expenses In
1915 and 1917, says the New York Sun.
His argument seems to be that be-
cause we are short Of revenue and
about to incur great expenses, because
the canal requirements are largely in
vestment in construction and because
the net outgo on the canal will soon be
reduced enormously, we should keep
on meeting the item out OF revenue in
stead of from the proceeds Of bonds,
as the law allows. To the ordinary
mind, we imagine. all these circum-
stances operate exactly in the reverse
way. As we are short Of revenue and
need money for defense, why not pay
for our investment in the canal by
bonds? If there will soon be vast
drop in the canal needs, why not make
that the occasion for change from
investment to current expense ac-
count?
The amount involved for the two
years is $35O,0O0,O0O, according to Mr..
McAdoo's figures. A hostile critic
might almost hint that his insistence
on raising it by taxation was due to an
uncomfortable desire to add just that
amount to the burden Of the income
taxpayers.
