DECREASE IN CRIME
Pueblo County, Colo, Makes Remark
able Showing Under Prohibition,
Sheriff's Record Shows

A remarkable decrease in crime for
the first year under Prohibition is
shown by the records of Pueblo coun-
ty, Colo. Before Prohibition came,
crime increased with the increase of
population, but in 1916 there was a
great increase in population and pros
perity, and a heavy decrease in all
forms of law-breaking.
The records of the Office of Sheriff
John Mckee show heavy decrease
in felonies punishable by pcntentiary
sentence, still heavier decrease in
felonies punishable by reformatory
sentence, and a big decrease in crime
among children.
Men under 80 years who commit
their first crime are sent to the re-
formatory. The decrease in the num-
Der of such crimes indicates that Pro-
hibition was we'll enforced in the
county and there were fewer persons
entering lives of crime.
The decrease in criminal cases
saved the county more than $4,000 in
fees during the year. On Christmas
day, 1915, there were 81 persons in
the county Jail and on Christmas day,
1916, there were only q in Jail.

TAXES NOT LOWERED
North Baltimore Beacon Plugs Fa-
vorite Wet Claim

The North Baltimore Beacon says
the voters of that town were hood
winked when they voted to let sa-
looms come back, thinking they would
tighten the tax rate. Nothing OF the
kind occurred. On the contrary, taxes
have been boosted.
The Beacon takes ono piece OF
property as an example The 1915
tax on this property paid in 1910 was
$3.50. Then saloons were re-estab-
lished i'll the town and the valuation
of this piece of property remained
the same on the duplicate, but the
1916 tax to be paid in 1917 is $500.
Quite naturally The Beacon wants
to know how saloon revenue lowers
taxes.

Criminals, Buns and Street Walkers
Have Left, Business Has In
creased, Says DR.. Phifer

In an open letter to the voters of
Illinois received by the State Anti
Saloon League, DR.. VIM. D. Phifer
of Denver urges the passage of the
statewide referendum bill now be-
fore the Legislature, asserting that
the experience of Colorado shows
that Prohibition would prove the
greatest possible boon to Illinois.
Prohibition, according to DR.. Phi
fer, is enlptying the jails and lodging
houses o. Colorado, is driving crooks,
street walkers and buns into wet
states, and is bringing greater pros
perity and a higher social standard
to that state.
Denver Jail Has Few Inmates
Warden Kratke of the Denver
jail" says DIR. Phifer, "has hard work
to find TRUSTEES 20 do the Jail chores.
OF the 402 cells in the building,
less than 100 have prisoners. At
one time the number went down to
81. It vibrates up and down a little,
and then drops lower. Another Col

Big Increase of Business

Prohibition has increased business
astonishingly." continues DIR. Phifer's
letter. Look at this: The John
Thompson Gorcery Company, our
largest grocery. used to sell quarter
of million dollars worth of whisky
in bottles every year. OF course, Pro-
hibition abolished that, but the rest
of the business has been so much bet
ter since the city went dry that this
great store is shouting the praise of
