THE "SHOW-ME" STATE SHOWS EN-.
Missouri's experience under dry policy refutes
the argument that a state to prosper financially
must have liquor revenue.
The report of the state treasurer shows that the
state has on hand eleven million dollars in gold
and that deficit of two and quarter million dol
lars inherited by the present state administration
in January 1917, has been paid.
This state formerly received millions of dollars
in liquor revenue. Its chief city boosted the largest
brewery in the world. T..
It went dry when the nation went dry, July I,
1919 If the liquor interests won't admit that this
eleven million dollars surplus hand in the treas

policy they at least will have to admit that the dry
policy didn't plunge the state into debt.
The governor isn't lying awake nights wondering
how he is going to pay the debts of the state On
the contrary he is calling special session Of the

LET'S BE FAIR.

= During the past few months we have several
times heard our home merchants criticised for the
prices they charge for their goods -.
The home merchant does charge higher PRICE
a much higher one-than he did before the war.
He is compelled TO- do 60 out of business ~
He is paying enormously high prices for his
goods in the wholesale markets.
He is paying increased freight rates and carriage.
His help costs him more money and his over
head expenses are greater.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to pay heavy
increase in the cost Of conducting his BUSINESS
Added to this, he is under additional pressure
in paying the high cost of supporting his family
and himself.
All of this must come out Of the business mes, and
this can only be done by charging reasonable per-
