tions are that about twenty other
states will follow suit.

HUGE DEBTS BURDEN
Big OHIO CITIES
Liquor Traffic Causes Expenses
TO Scar.

Columbus, Ohi6.-Acccrding to the
report Of the State Auditor for 1916,
the funded and unfunded debts of the
70 cities Of the state aggregate $223,-
$40. or this huge debt, more
than two-thirds IS owed ny the five
cities Of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Colum-
bus, Toledo and Dayton.
For the year 1914, according to the
Auditor Of State, the cost of the po-
lice to the cities of Ohio aggregated
S3,317.476.75. This item cost the five
cities above mentioned more than
two-thirds of the entire sum. in fact
the cost Of the police in these five
cities was S2,39A ,SOS.25.
The salaries Of policemen, Office eX-
pense, sustenance Of prisoners, ETC.
cost Cincinnati $1.9S per capita fol-
the year: Cleveland, Sl.53; Dayton
S1.21; Columbus, $llG; Toledo, $l.25,
Compare the Per capita cost of police
departments in these big wet centers
with sc cents in dry Ashland. 80 cents
in dry Van Vert, "a cents in dry
Athens, AZ cents in dry Ecllefontaine,
and Al cents in dry Cambridge.
If Cincinnalis police force and
maintenance Of prisoners cost only as
much per capita as the police force
of dry Athens, she would pay for
this item $l3G739.50 instead of $780,
965.S5. On this item alone she would
save in a year $660,22G.35. This is
third more than the entire sum Gin
cinnati receives annually in liquor
tax.
1t is worth remembering that while
these five wet cities have two-thirds
of the saloons of the state, with the
big revenue from these places, they
also have more than two-thirds Of the
indebtedness Of all Ohio cities, and
more than two-tnirds of the cost of
the police departments Of all the cities
of the state.

Washington, D. C.-According to
the report OF the Commissioner of In
temal Revenue, nearly 1000 retail
liquor dealers and more than 700
wholesalers went out oc bu-iness per-
manently during the fiscal year of
1916. Also, 10 breweries, 80 distil-
leries. and 20 rectlfiers shut up shop
for good.
But liquor men point to an increase
in the taxes paid on whisky for 1916
as compared with 1915, and assert
that while there are fewer producers
and sellers. the consumption is in
creased, regardless of the spread OF
the dry area, and that figures prove
the contention of tie vets that Pro.
hibition does not prohibit
But this liquor claim is punctured
by David A. Gates, Deputy Commis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue. Wher
asked as to the possible cause for the
increase shown by the tax receipts
from liquor, Mr.. Gates said that the
government is now collecting all, OF
practically all the tax on whisky
whereas prior to 1916 it did not do so
as the distilleries fraudulently with
held large sums due Uncle Sam from
this source. Mr.. Gates does not know
if the additional amounts collected il
1916 equals the increase shown fol
that year, but thinks that the roofing
out of the frauds can be credited wit!
a big part of the increase.
Other factors to which part of thi!
increase may be attributed is the biz
increase in the population of cities anC
the unusual prosperity which always
results in individual indulgences.
1t is quite certain that the liquor
interests are not satisfied with The

over the decreased number of brew
