WHY CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"The answer is easy to give" says
Mr.. L. J. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active in the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
ton. 'The grange is a constructive
forward-looking organization. The
first plank in the grange platform is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and in America. This high purpose
leaves but one course of action that
the grange could possibly take in a
moral issue. 1t must be on the right
side Of the question.
"The grange, state and national, is
for absolute prohibition, not for ia
natical or sentimental reasons, but be.
cause common sense and the cold
facts In the case conclusively demon
strate that while the saloon is the
greatest enemy Of the church and the
home, it is also great enemy Of ru-
raj progress, of national development
and the best things in life"

WHICH SHALL WE BELIEVED

The liquor interests continue to send
broadcast false statements concerning
conditions in dry states. This is one
of them:
"In Colorado $1,000 were rendered
jobless by prohibition; they glutted
the labor market; industrial condi-
tons became chaotic; wages were re-
duced; thousands were thrown on pub
lie charity"
The Colorado state labor commits
sioner, Mr.. Alex Swanson, thus re-
plies:
Prohibition did not make $1,000 job
less. When the 1000 Colorado sa-
looms closed some 10000 persons were
affected. This number included bar
tenders, porters, walters, brewery
workers, etc. They were quickly as
simulated in other lines. There was nc
Cutting Of the labor market. OuI
great trouble has been to get men
enough for the Jobs. Wages have moi
been going up. Thousands were moi
thrown upon public charity. Perhaps
few saloon hangers-on were, who
would not work anyway. You will al
ways find such in any town. There
are more demands for men to I'LL tn,
Jobs since prohibition than there ar,
men to fill the Jobs"

THIS fhOm NSIIiH
In a few years the statisticians
ought to have some curves showing
what no booze really means to our
big cities. Under decent and good
government the results are startlingly
similar. For example, here are Seat
tie and Birmingham In opposite cor
ners of the United States, different In
almost every detail of racial makeup,
business interests, etc., but both tell
ing the same "dry" tale. About one
hale as many arrests, fewer murders
and suicides, but more bank clearings,
less fire and more building, increased
trade and emptied jails-such are a
few of the items. The drug problem
is easier because whisky hasn't done
any subsoil blowing for 1t. These
facts, and more like 'em, are noted
by such papers as the Manufacturers
Record and by keen business men who
wonder now why on earth they ever
thought prohibition would hurt busi-
ness. probably they had read it In

note social progress, and to the un-
fortunate women and kids who some

SALT LAKE . CITY, December
II --(Associated Press) - Increase-
in the whole ,alc price of beet 81.
gar and of refined sugar from Ha-
waiian cane sugar were predicted here
yesterday by stephen Love, member
of the sugar distribution of the food
administration. He expects 10 see al
advance Of tw enty-five cents hundred
pounds, from 1925 to $3.50 in the price
which beet sugar makers and Pacific
Coast refiners are permitted to charge
for their products. This he expects to
see within the next few days.
With the raising of prices In the west
and the incoming of the Cuban crop
TO the Eastern refiners, Mr.. Love said
that an equalization Of the differing
prices that have prevailed since price
control was undertaken could be look
ed for.
On the Atlantic Coast, awaiting the
arrival of the beet sugar crop and
pending an arrangement with the Gu,
ban growers, higher price has been
permitted, or had to be permitted by
the sugar commissions. In the west the
beet crop was earlier and the Pacific
Coast refiners and Hawaiian sugar
producers accepted the ruling Of the
commissions upon sugar prices without
demur. The west has had little sugar
shortage while in the East it has APP,
preached an actual famine.
