ALABAMA Bankers OPINION.

j. B. Wadsworth, banker Of Gads-
den, Ala, gives the following testimony
to the success of prohibition in his
state:
"The common masses of the people are
the bene6ciaries Of prohibition. They
have the money that formerly went for
liquor to pay rents, buy clothes, shoes
and groceries, send their children to
college, ETC., etc. Thousands of wage
earners now have them who formerly
had no bank accounts. The economic
feature Is marvellous. Cost Of officers,
police, judges, etc., is reduced to a
minimum"
