When the Kaiulani anchored of Pc

was considered dangerous, especially as

Prohibition In the West

DROHIBITION is to be very live subject in
= number Of the state legislatures soon to be
in session. while in some of the already prohibition
States efforts will be made to enact still stricter
statutes. ... 3.
In Wyoming where the Legislators convene on
Tuesday, prohibition will be the chief issue for
consideration. The anti-saloon workers expect to
put through bill submitting prohibition consti-
tutonal amendment to the voters in the next cleo
ton, which bill the liquor men will vigorously op-
pose. The Democrats were pledged in their state
platform ITO the submission to the people of all
issues OF popular concern" Most of them are ex-
pected to vote for the prohibitory submission bill
The Republican party took no stand on the issue
but the anti-saloon leaders say they will support
Submission. The legislature is Republican, the
senate having sixteen Republicans and eleven De
mocrats, with the house Republican by thirty-two
to twenty-five.
In Washington, ever since the enactment OF
prohibition law in 1914, the opponents have been
constantly skirmishing and now the big fight is to
come off. The liquor interests already have made
efforts TO remove restrictions on the prohibition
law without avail and now it is reported the pro-
hibitionists will commence their big drive" and
will introduce bill in the legislature providing
for "bone-dry" prohibition, aboshing the person
al permit system and the druggist permit system
insofar as it affects all spirits excepting alcohol.
The legislature will meet on Monday. 1t will
be the most Overwhelmingly Republican legisla-
ture since 1911. There will be eighty-fve Repub-
licans and fourteen Democrats in the house and
thirty-seven Republicans and five Democrats in
the senate.
In Oregon efforts to strengthen the prohibition
law will be attempted. The Legislature meets on
Monday and providing penalties for the bone
dry constitutional amendment will occupy much
nix he Of he Ac - he
law provides only for the prohibition of importa-
tons of Intoxicating liquors into the State but
does not specify penalties. 1t is the general be-
lief that the legislature will enact measures pro-
viding heavy penalties. The discussion, however
probably will be heated and protracted

Regulation, of Advertising

NISCUSSING tendencies in advertising and the
~ part that legislative action is now taking in
the regulation of advertising. John X. Allen, the
advertising manager Of the Christian Science Mont
tor, writes
1T is plainly apparent that the attitude of gov
ernments toward newspapers and advertising is
undergoing change. The freedom Of the press
from regulation by government Is likely to become
tradition In the strict censorship Of the news in
such free country Great Britain, engaged in
of engrossing importance, there is an indi-
cation as to what might happen with us A ten
dency to similar governmental regulation of adj
vertising is already quite marked in this country.
in certain municipalities, including New York
City, ordinances have been passed seeking to con-
troll the business of advertising in an attempt to
prevent the publication of that which is fraudulent
AS yet this form of legislation by municipalities
has not gained much Roadway, but it is possible
that it will become more general. -
"A Legislative tendency, which should however,
become general, has made its initial appearance in
New Orleans. The city assessor has proposed that
substantial assessments be placed against local
billboard company and the lessee of the local
street-car advertising privilege. He recommends
an assessment OF $4,000 on the outdoor advertise
ing company and one of 100000 the holder of
the street privilege.
Zach community here represented should learn
whether it is receiving revenue from holders OF
privileges OF this nature. In proceeding to such
an inquiry an important question arises with rela-
ton to each form of advertising. In the interest
of the public should outdoor advertising be permit
ted at all? If it is to be allowed it should be care
fully regulated so that it will not offend the pub
lie taste more than is necessary, and it should pay
tax for the benefit of the highways it so general
ly ds6gures and from the use of which, by the
public. it derives its value. "
With relation to street car advertising it should
be learned if, under the terms of the franchise,
transportation company can sell it's car space for
advertising purposes 1t may be discovered that
it is illegitimate for traction corporation to do
this Should it be found that selling Advertising
space in street cars is legal operation then tax
is properly assessabIe against the value of the
privilege.
Neither of these forms OF advertising should
receive more lenient treatment from the taxing.

SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
Fame Of the Medicine Spreads Over
Whole Natlon-Now Sold From
Coast to Coast.

NEVER before, perhaps, in all his
~ tory has the demand for pro-
prfetary medicine ever approached the
wonderful record that Is now being
made by Tanlac. the celebrated medi-
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results In all parts
of the country.
From Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes. Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions have
taken 1t and have pronounced 1t the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation Of
Tanlac's triumph In the medical world
is Tanlac's true worth. Back Of Tan
lac's triumph in the drug stores Is
Tanlac's triumph in the homes. It il
the peoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
It 10.
No matter where you 60, Tanlac is
y household word and It II unques-
tonably the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today. One per-
son invariably tells another about a
medicine that helps him and in this
way scores or even hundreds may hear
Of Tanlac as a direct result Of one
bottle in single home.
The first bottle Of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold Just little over
two years ago In the thriving little
city Of Lexington. KY, where 10000
bottles Of the medicine were sold In
only few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and quarter million bottles, and a
romance which has no parallel In the
modern business world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated In practically every
large town. small town. village and
hamlet in North America, Hawaii,
Alaska. Cuba, Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for Tanlac.
Just a few months ago, 1t was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads, 265, ,476 bottles Of
Tanlac had been sold through the At
ianta office alone. Since that time,
1,406, ,44S bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over a
million and a half, or to be exact,
1906, ,204 bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that one hundred and fifty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West since
the first day Of October, 1915, Is a
matter Of record and can easily be
verified.
One retail firm alone. the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co.. Of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total Of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
is true of Atlanta, is also true of prac-
tically every large city Of the South
and West, where the sales have been
correspondingly large.

try have voluntarily come forward and

Washington.-The war revenue bill,

penses of the war, was completed by
the ways and means committee Tues
day night and introduced in the house
Wednesday.
If the trainers overlooked any tan

to levy tax, it was not because of
any desire to do so.
Incomes, inheritances, business prof

of the things which will feel the bur-

Tariff viii Yield $20o, ,0oo, 900.
The committee found 1t necessary to
go to the tariff to make up deficit Of
something like $500, 100000. This was
done by an agreement to a tax of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutiable
list.

by Chairman Kitchin follow:

incomes to be taxed, those between
81 900 and 5000 for single men and
