THE DRINK TRAFFIC AND TIE
TAXPAYER

saloon revenue aids In reducing
taxes!" This Is one of the most shal.
low arguments advanced by the liquor.
lite in support Of the drink business.
No thoughtful or observant person will
attempt to deny that under prohibition
crime decreases, pauperism grows less.
and that, given time for the natural re-
adjustment which must follow the gen.
eral elimination Of the saloon and its
influences, the need for reform schools,
jails, asylums, almshouses, hospitals,
ETC., will in the aggregate mean saw
ing Of many millions Of dollars to the
taxpayers. Remember, too, that as
drunkenness is eliminated more people
will become self-supporting and there
will be less need for charity. Abolish
the saloon and much Of the money now
expended in aiding those who become
dependent through drink, and the mon.
ey now paid for taxes caused by the
results Of drink, will be used in Great.
ing more taxable property and the bur.
den will be more widely and evenly dis.
tributed.

America Fills the Need.

For years it has been the custom for
American manufacturers to obtain
each season n large number Of Paris
garments and readapt them to the
needs of American women. Paris has
always taken the lead in suggesting
possible styles. But the war has
brought American designs to the fore,
although 1t has by no means served to
discourage Paris artists. Now many
garments wholly American are being
shown, and the fact has been clearly
proved this country need never In
future play second fiddle. The fact
that fabrics and trimmings are scarce
and that wool, especially, must be con-
served has probably worked to the nd
vantage of American designers and
would-be designers. For simplicity
has been the rule.

PROHIBITION A BENEFIT TO THE
WAGE-EARNER

Viewed from whatever angle. there
is no computing the value of prohibi-
ton to the industrial class. Counted
by dollars and cents, the elimination
of liquor from this country would mean
millions Of dollars diverted into a
channel that would make and does
make for higher order of things.
Dollars and cents do not count when
the question Of prohibition is the sub
ject matter. 1t is not always a Qucs-
ton Of what prohibition will do; the
other side Is: What will 1t prevent?
There is no man In or out of the la
bor movement, II he be honest with
himself and others, but must recognize
the benefits from every viewpoint that
have come to the workers In those
states that have adopted prohibition.

Why Ships Are Sunk.

Torpedoed merchant vessels are not
sunk by extensive damage of the ship
structure, is the view of n committee
of the British Institution of Naval
Architects, but because watertight
compartments are not watertisht.
Plating and rivetlng are not disturbed
over large areas, while bulkheads are
not burst In by water pressure. Three
causes explain many losses-bulkhead
doors too low down to be closed after
explosion, flooding of closed compart-
ments through fractured suction pipes
and penetrating of bulkheads by flying
rlvets and other fragments of steel.

TESTIMONY OF CHARITY WORK.

The charitable organizations are
quick to realize the blessings of pro-
hibitiOn, for prohibition not only means
less poverty, but it means that money
which formerly went to care for the
family of the drinking man is made
available for other uses. The testl-
mony Of the Des Moines Associated
Charities is an illustration of this
point: Three years ago 20 per cent
of all the families and individuals aid.
ed were In condition of poverty
through the drunkenness Of the father
or supporting member of the house
hold. Last year that figure had dwin.
died to 10 per cent. This means that
with open saloons Des Molnes' larges,
charitable body was spending annual
ly more than one-fourth of its budget
to take care Of the product of the sa.
loon, while within year and half
after the closing of the bars of the city
the association was paying out but one
tenth Of Its income for the same pur.
pose."

Intellectual Camouflaue.
