WHAT PROHIBITION DOES

Figures recently given out by bank
ing institutions of Pensacola show
great prosperity and the claim is
made that much of the present good
times in the Deep Water City are due
to the closing of the saloons. The
banks declare that there are more
small savings accounts than ever be-
fore and that men never known to en-
ter a bank before except to cover up
worthless check signed on the night
before are now regular depositors.
In view of the above, something of
what prohibition did to Arizona dur
ing the first year of it's application
will be of interest. George Herbert
Smalley, who conducted exhaustive
Investigations along these lines, says:
"Laborers had bank accounts who
never before knew what saving
meant. The savings accounts of the
state banks increased nearly half a
million in the first eight months. The
total deposits of all state and national
banks in Arizona increased 100000
during the same period of prohibi-
ton"
The following table shows the man
ner in which arrests for all offenses,
including drunkenness, fell off in ten
cities in Arizona, as compiled by Mr..
Smalley during those first months:

Let's see. Taxes on the Ocala House
property for the years 1916, 1917 and
1913 were settled or compromised in
1919 for $1575, being taxes on a val
uation of $4,000, minus interest and
costs. For the same years the Holder
block paid $1134; the Merchants
block paid $1197; the Munroe &
Chambliss National Bank building
paid $787.5O; the Gary block paid
$945; the Harrington Hall hotel prop

Most of the disorder In Europe is
owing to delay in concluding the
treaty of peace. If, when the armis-
tice was signed, the Allies had put
the business of making terms with
the beaten enemy in the hands of a
few strong men, and they had made
a peace of might and made it at once,
the nations would have known where
they stood, and accepted the terms
and gone to work. Pooling around in
Paris for six months over self-deter-
mination and fourteen points has lost
to the Allies at least half of what
they won on the battlefield.

The demand of organized labor that
the railroads be handed over to a tri-
partite composed of the public, the
operating management and the en-,
ployes is impractical, revolutionary
and incendiary. History shows that
several triumvirates have been tried
in public affairs, but no trio yet has
failed to be whitfield down to a solo
in a brief time. Anything of the
sort is bound to wind up in fight,
and if we are going to have fight we
had better have it right now, while
other people are too busy to interfere
with US.

Solution of the high prices and
strike problem that confronts the
country depends greatly on President
Wilson. There are over a hundred
million people in this country, two
thirds of whom are neither profteers
nor labor agitators. If Mr.. Wilson
takes a firm stand for the whole peo-
pie he can bring the country out of
its snarl. IF he caters to class, he
will ruin himself and come very near
running the country. The emergency
that now faces Mr.. Wilson is greater
than that of Mexico, Germany or the
league of nations. We shall see how
he meets it.
