RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY The BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF The ANTLSALOON LEAGUE OF ILLINOIS

The board of directors of the Anti
Saloon League of Illinois, assembled in
annual session, give thanks to Almighty
God for its unparalleled success of prohi-
bition in our nation and in our state, and
view with increasing qualification the I'M
measurable benefits of the prohibition
policy. In the purlieus Of Our great cities,
as we'll as smaller towns and villages,
where drunkenness formerly prevailed
and numerous intoxicated men could al
ways be found, they have now disap-
peared almost entirely and an intoxicated
man is seldom seen.
The hotels, which formerly depended
for more than half of their income upon
the sale of intoxicants have entered upon
a new period of prosperity since the ad-
vent OF prohibition. Never before was
their patronage so great or their income
SO enormous.
Savings banks are bursting With depos-
its, largely OF working people, who, for
the first time, have had large bank ac
counts Working mems banks are now
real factor in the financial life OF the ma
ton. Before prohibition came they did
not exist.
Our colleges, great and small are over
flowing. with students and find it neces-
sary to impose severe restrictions in order
to keep the attendance within workable
limits.
I,,-tt t,Nn pf
prosperity not dreamed of ten years ago.
Many millions Of dollars are placed in
the hands of missionary societies with
generosity unequaled in past history.
Churches are now building temples as
places of worship and single church
property, valued at million or over, has
ceased to be rarity.
Keenness, vigor, aggressiveness and
conscientiousness prevail in the business
and social world to degree never before
worlds history, because minds are clear
from fumes OF alcohol.
And, in addition to all these signs of
success such violations of the prohibition
law as exist are kept constantly before
the public and the attention of our whole
nation is directed to the solution of this
problem more urgently than any other
problem confronting the nation. So that
whatever failure or incompleteness there
may be in the present enforcement of this
policy must necessarily be corrected in a
very brief time, because the people are not
permitted by the press of the country to
forget the prohibition problem for mo-
ment nor turn their attention seriously to
any other subject until this one is cor
rectly solved. We interpret this to mean
that God is calling upon the American

people to hnlSh promptly and declSlVely
the work SO we'll begun. On every side
are to be seen the unquestioned benefits of
this great moral advance and on the other
the continuous reminder of the points at
which the mighty task is still incomplete
1t IS for the purpose of surveying the sit
uation and ascertaining by what means
this incompleteness can most quickly be
overcome that we are today assembled in
conference
We give thanks, not only for the gen
eral success of prohibition, but for the
part which the Anti-Saloon League has
been able to play in furthering this great
movement. We have been enabled, dur
ing the past year, to work to the limit of
our capacity and many important duties
and tasks have been consummated The
continuous assaults by the spokesmen of
the vets and by the hostile newspapers
have served to arouse the Christian peo-
pie about this matter They are giving it
more earnest thought and enthusiastic
support than at any time previous in the
last five years.
We also express our keen qualification
at the fact that the United States Con-
gress has shown no recession in its earnest
and effective support of the prohibition
policy.
The federal enforcement unit and the
peace officials of our state and cities are
not Stacking in their zeal in the matter of
law enforcement. A larger number than
ever before are seriously endeayoring to
enforce the law and we are able to point
to increasingly good results of their
labors.
We wish especially to express Our
thanks to Mr.. Yellowley and the prohibit
ton enforcement unit of our state for the
faithful and efficient service they have rem
dered and for their large achievements,
though confronted by many obstacles and
hampered by political antagonisms.
Hi order that the enforcement of the
prohibition law may be more successful
and that popular support OF the prohibit
ton policy may be more effective, we
adopt, as suggestions, the following reso-
1utions:
Cd Resolved, We urge the passage by
the United States Congress of the revised
Cramton bill, now before that body, pro-
viding for the formation of the special
bureau under the United States treasury
department to have the entire control of
the prohibition enforcement law and pro-
vidng for the selection Of employees un-
der civil service rules
(2) Resolved That we urge upon the
drys everywhere to avoid participating in
such referendum upon the wet and dry
question as now promoted by the vets in

when Lincoln was elected, 6
per cent Of all eligible voters went
to the polls for the national cleo
ton, but today only so per cent
goes and there is a steady decline, "
said Saltiel.
1.-THE vote Stacker is one of the
greatest nuisances and dangers of
American Governmental life. There
are so few good voters that the So
called citizens drop out and the

'front.'" Saltiel asserted
Saltiel said in Chicago 10000 Boy

CHANGE IN RATES
Higher Toll for Station-to-
Station Night Calls.

An authority on the public service
commission, the Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company will place in effect
Friday a revised schedule of rates on
station-to-station night calls between
points within the State. A similar
change recently was made in inter
State calls. Net effect of the change,
in both cases, is to eliminate the
rs per cent reduction in station.to-
station calls between midnight and
4:30 a. m.
The new schedule allows a rs per
cent reduction in Station-tostation
calls between 7 and $3.50 p. m. and
so per cent between $50 p. m. and
4:30 a. m. Under the old schedule
the Bell allowed a so per cent reduc-
ton on station-to- station calls be-
tween $3.50 p. M. and rs per cent be-
tween midnight and 4:30 a. m.
Despite the increase in the cost
Of after midnight calls, the company
declares it will lose $4,000 year on
the new rates.
