Prohibition has been in force Oue

The SpCEsuan-Rsview, leading news
paper Of the City Of Spokane, IN rs
ISSUE Of December 81, gives nearly
two pages 70 answering the question:
Has prohibition paid in Spokane "
Il reviews the Business conditions and
su-zs up the situation under two
large headlines one says: Bank

Amusement Men. Tell the Same Sto-

In 1915 Spokane, with a population
Of 10000. had 100 saloons which took
in a. average Of SIS a day for 313
days Add 70 this the business done
by breweries and liquor supply hous-
es to private homes and The amount is
ss00.609 which Spokane spent for
beer and booze IN 1915.
The SpokeEman-Review estimates
in 1916 there was Illegally sold in
Spokane By ~bootlegEers at az average
Of g750a gzIsz, s5z: 10000 worth
Of booze. This taken from the total
spent in 1915 makes a total saving Of
100000 in the first year Of prohi-
bit.on
This" says Spokesman Review,
means 2 saving Of S35 per capita, or
about 500 for the average head Of =
family. This g4,lO0,OJ0 would pay
the costs Of running the city govern

kane's savings on Dooze alone would
pay all the taxes levied for all pur-
poses in . whole year"
The average number Of inmates IN
the county infirmary, OF poor house,
dropped from 172 IN 1915 70 III in
1916, and there was = net saving Of
5000 n the cost Of operation in

and INDECENT relief in 1916 than in
1915. The record Of arrests shows
drunkenness to have decreased 40
per cent, vagranry p per cent and
~disorderly conduct 81 per cent in
1916.
"0ns-half as many b1rglsries were
committed during the dry year as
were committed in 1915, one-third as
many ~forgeries, less than 0ne-haf the
~robberies, less than one-thitd the pet

saloons running, desperate men took
any means TO get money, there were
40 cases Of burglary robbery, for

with the city dry, there was a com
bined total Of 1866 such offenses, a re-
dnction Of 62-2 percent" says the
newspaper.
And yet there are men who argue
that prohibition is a hindrance in
