business in cities thruout the state,
and especially to Denver. Such is
found not to be the case. The value
of building permits increased 52.9 per
cent in 1916 over 1915, and this far
in 1917 there is a substantial increase
over 1916 despite the scarcity and
high cost of building materials. The
tenantable buildings in Denver are
practically 81 per cent occupied under
prohibition rule, and at the present
time, while 80 per cent occupancy of
business property and s5 per cent oc-
cupancy of residence property is gen.
orally taken to indicate prosperity in
a community AS to business property
in the heart of the city, there were 17S
vacancies on April 5, 1917, as COM
pared with 242 on November 27, 1914,
and PSI on August "a, 1915. Denver
compares favorably upon all figures
and estimates given for the state.
Drunkenness Reduced 63 Per Cent
Denver's arrests for drunkenness
averaged a month as follows: 1914
1915, 224; 1916-1917, 1877, a decrease
of 63 per cent, notwithstanding the
fact that this year the police depart
ment has arrested all persons suspect
ed of intoxication and when the state
was wet" it was a rule of the depart

Cheyenne, one-twelfth as large as
Denver, registered an average of ar
rests for drunkenness a month as fol-
lows: 1915, 104; 1916, 209, and the
number for 1917, if at hand, would un-
doubtedly prove interesting.
Experience has taught US that pro-
hibition laws can be enforced, and the
active enforcement of these laws thru
out the state is gratifying. Colorado
has profited by the mistakes and ex-
periences of other states, and has
speedily taken up the enforcement of
her prohibition laws with an iron hand.
Bootlegging Cut To Minimum.
AS a result violations of these laws
have been reduced to a minimum One
/ indication of this is the fact that boot
/ leggers ask five to ten dollars quart
more for whiskey when obtainable.
The effectiveness of the new law IS
fast becoming felt. The number of
convictions under it thus far is very
satisfactory. The statute provides for
commitment to the state penitentiary
for second offenses, and it has been

ties in most sections of the state to &C

Denver labor bulletin., 1917-10-13

Attorney General Leslie E. Hubbard
has written his views upon the bene-
fetal effects of statewide prohibition
in Colorado, which is to be used in re-
futing libels cast upon the city and
state by representative of the liquor
interests in states where campaigns
are now being waged to drive the
saloon out of business. Mr.. Hubbard's
statement so well answers the oft
repeated question OF How has prohi-
bition affected Colorado ?" that The
Bulletin takes pleasure in reproducing
it in full, as follows:
That prohibition is a victory of ex-
perience is conclusive from the figures
at hand. In 1912, SO per cent of the
voters of this state voted for prohibi
ton; in 1914, 52.2 per cent voted for
it, and in 1916, when an amendment
was offered to permit the manufac-
ture of beer in the state, e7.9 per cent
voted against it-virtually vote for
prohibition.
Colorado no longer has to weigh the
arguments from sister states on one
side and the other. She knows now,
a question submitted to our voters to
return again to the "wet" column, it
would be rejected by majority Of
I75,000, or an approximate ratio Of
three to one.
No Room for Doubt
1t can safely be asserted that there
is less room for difference of opinion
upon the highly beneficial results Of
statewide prohibition TO our common
wealth than upon any other of the va
rious social, political and economic
questions confronting its people. So
cial, political and economic powers
combined for prohibition, and it has
come to stay.
As general proposition, mathemat-
ical calculation shows an increase in
benefits and improvements from the
year 1907 to the year 1915, so that,
taking the year 1915, when 81 per cent
of the population of the state resided
in anti-saloon territory, for the pur-
poses Of comparison with the years
1916 and the first eight months of
1917. the present term Of statewide
prohibition. it will be observed that
the increase may be cores pondingly
marked in comparing this latter period
with any year prior to 1915 back to
1907, when local option was adopted.
Computation and observation show
conclusively that there is not single
particular in which prohibition has
been detrimental to this state and its
people. Proportionate increase IN pop
ulation is taken into consideration in
comparative figures used in this tract
Bank Deposits Have Doubled.
Despite the so per cent increase in
the cost of living and only 10 TO 10

counts has improved over so per cent
Speaking in round numbers, the total
savings deposits in state banks thru
out the state were two millions in 1915,
three millions in 1916 and eight mil
lions in 1917. Bank deposits in gen.
eral have practically doubled under
prohibition. and the number of persons
placed by employment agencies has in
creased over $50 per cent.

CHANGE POULTRY FEED.
Suggestions For Substitutes to Lesson
Cost Of tho Ration.


Present difficulties experienced by
abnormally high prices for poultry feed
should be met by changing the ration
instead Of reducing it; also, according
to the poultry authorities ut the New
York State College Of Agriculture, n
change in rations may mean the releas-
ing of more wheat foods for mans use.
The college makes the following sug.
Eestions as a partial guide toward
cheaper rations: Cornmeal and clover
in equal parts may be used as par
tial substitute for bran. The leaves
and chaff from clover hay may be fed
dry in q box or steamed overnight and
ted in q trough in the morning. Care
should be taken not to feed too many
large, stalks.
Gluten feed is palatable and may re-
place part Of the white wheat mid.
dlings, and barley may he used to re-
place wheat in the grain ration. 1t OF;

in Cedar Co., Neb., in 1888. In
1893 with his parents he moved to
Manila, Ia, where they lived till
coming to Scotland, S. D., in 1898.
He grew to manhood in Scotland,
graduating from its public schools.
When he came Of age he went to

staying and was thrown from the
horse and sustained fatal injuries,
and died without recovering conscious
ness.
Arlie was, IS a. boy and young
man, we'll liked in this vicinity. His

Sydney Brooks in North American
Review: To get the measure of Mr..
Lloyd Georges accession to the pre-

something more than a change Of min
listers, a mere shuffling of the political
cards. Mr.. Lloyd George is not now
installed In No. 10 Downing street
simply because he is a more taking
orator, or more vivid personality. or
radiates a more compelling force than
his predecessor. He is there, above
and beyond everything else because
he incarnates the spirit Of democracy.
He Is there because the masses Of the
British nation, feeling that he repre-
sents them better than any other
man. that he is one of them, and that
he embodies in his life, and in his out
look on life, all that they are fighting
for, have put him there. It is as though
the British people-not the classes,
not the men who used to look upon
high Office as q birthright, but the
plain, everyday folk who make up the
bulk of any English speaking COM
munity-had deliberately said to
themselves: I'VE want at the head Of
affairs a man who is one Of ourselves,
our minds and conditions"
It is a sound instinct, a sort Of an
ticipatory fellow feeling, which makes
all Americans who come to London
