SAD BUT TRUE

The new Kentucky Tax Law is
soon to be given a test and we will
wager that it will fall far short of
raising as much revenue as the
present system. The only thing that
will be accomplished by it is the
furnishing of several Fat jobs to
some hungry politicians of the Stan
lev Observation-Disclosures Courier.

uTAH'S DRY BILL IS
VERY STRINGENT ONE
Makes All Provisions of All Ordinary
Prohibition Laws and Adds some
IRON Clad Restrictions

Prepared at the request of Gov

7nent law, a Statewide dry measure 10

VIII become law as the Legislature Is
dry and Governor Hamburger is
heartily in favor of prohibition.
In fact, in his message to the Legis-
lature Governor Bamberger declared
passage OF such law to be the most
urgent legislation to be considered.
Under provision OF the law all in
toxicating liquors and all malt or
brewed liquors, whether, intoxicating
or not. would be prohibited as to
manufacture and sale The word

firms. corporations, agents, servants
or employees as we'll as to the persona
propria.
Storage of liquor. except for strict
personal use is prohibited Clubs are
against the bill Advertising and soli-
citing are made unlawful. Only for
SAIL dIiciitdi, flcQiCdi or SClentfnC uses
may liquor be sold, and these uses
are hedged about by restrictions
Prepa red medicines must contain only
sufficient alcohol to make them keep
Even such medicines or essences

Indians or persons Of unsound mind

IT is made unlawful for physicians
TO write prescriptions for any COM

The very strictest regulations sur
round the Importation of alcohol or
liquors. Heavy penalties are provid-
cd for infraction on any of the pro-
visions.
One OF the features OF the bin Is

stand to Hold the State Wet;
Means That Much Money Is Loss to
Them

Fred l. Crabble, superintendent of
the Anh-saloon League of wyoming,
after interviewing all members Of the
State Legislature now in session. said
that not single vote would be cast
against the prohibition constitutional
amendment submission bill,
OF the overwhelming drv sentiment
in Wyoming there appears to be no
doubt. 1t is estimated that rs ner
cent on tho electorate of the State
will vote for prohibition IL given on
portunity. Approximately 10000 Of
the $4,000 persons who voted at the
November election are women. The
dry amendment will have virtually
their united support. Merely a ma
jority OF the votes cast Ia necessary,
and II only 90 per. cent of the male
voters cast dry ballots 1t will be

tions are confident of victory In tho
Legislature II any fight develops at

1t is of tremendous Importance to
the liquor interests to keep the State

CIVIC PRIDE COMES
WHEN LIQUOR GOES
Urbana Never Began to Grow and
Prosper Until Made Dry Under
County Option.

Several years ago when the first
Rose law election was held in Cham
paign County, Ohio, and saloons were
banished, many a. wall was sent .up by
Crbana residents that the loss OF re-
venue from the twenty-one saloons
would he keenly felt and the city
would retrograde.
/. AS matter OF fact Trbana did not
begin to grow and prosper until the
liquor stores were closed, and the CITY
is now one OF the most fiourtshing
county seats in the State
For nearly century Urbana had
saloons. During that period civic i'm
provements were not considered.
Daring the dry years several miles
of paving have been done at a cost Of
s235.000.
A sanitary sewer has been con-
structed at an expense of $106,814.02,
not including $Ss,657.s4 expended In
the building Of disposal plant Storm
sewers built in the past three years
cost $34. 010.17, making a total Of over
100000 for city improvements dnce
saloons were ousted.
In the wet days 1t was a common
sight to see drunkards in the streets.
Today in Urbana a drunken man Is a
curiosity. The moral standard Of the
city IL very high. and evidence Of this
fact 10 found In the few cases that
find their way into the Mayors Court.
Several years ago II was customary
for grand juries to be in session at
least a week investigating crimes that
were the outgrowth of drink. Now It
is rare occasion for grand jury to
spend more than two days in its de-
alterations.
The twenty-one rooms formerly oc-
cupied by the saloons now are used
by legitimate business firms and prac-
ttcally every merchant in tho city Is
satisfied with conditions Very little
credit business Is done, as the wage
earners are spending the money for
necessities and luxuries that farmerly
went for liquor.
The same conditions apply to all
towns and villeges in Champaign
County. A large majority OF the cleo
tors of Urbana and Champaign Coun-
ty are anxiously awaiting tho wet and
dry State elections. when they will
cast their ballots for saloonless Ohio.
