Forms Committee To
Oppose Allied Dry Forces


Keith Neville, prominent North
Platte business man and rancher and
former governor Of Nebraska, an
nounced this week that he has formed
a committee to oppose the Allied
Dry Forces" in their effort to return,
prohibition to Nebraska.
Fundamentally, / do not believe
in the principle Of Prohibition, which
is trying to regulate personal habits
and tastes by law. If a mar wants
to take a drink Of beer or liquor that
is his business, it is not my business
or the business of the state.
Practically speaking, Prohibition
does not prohibit. That has been
proven in Nebraska and in many
other states and in many other Jul
tries. Prohibition merely makes the
business illegal and therefore tax ex-
empt and it creates a chaotic condi-
ton of law violation, including all
the evils Of bootlegging.
If the liquor business is taken off
the tax rolls, the money which this
business pays into the state and local
communities must be raised from
some other source, and that is a size
able amount Of money.
| was Governor in 1917 when Ne
braska went dry. | observed first
hand the confusion, the law violation,
the rise Of the bootleggers, the loss
Of tax revenue and all the other evils
that accompany Prohibition. / be-
lieve Prohibition was distinctly harm
full to Nebraska and | don't want it
to happen to our state again.
III believe strongly in temperance
regarding all personal habits whether
it is drinking or eating or athletics or
anything else. Too much Of any
thing is harmful. But for one group
of people to tell another group what
they may or may not do personally
is a form of tyranny which l don't
like. What ever evils there may be
connected with the use of beer or liq-
uor will be corrected by teaching in
the homes, in the schools, and in the
churches, and nowhere else"
.Neville's committee will be
known as the Committee of Men
and Women against Prohibition
Executive offices will be located at
1921 Sharp Building, Lincoln.

Nebraska farm groups should be

farm people with the necessity for
preventing farm and traffic accidents
and thus conserving farm manpower

the fact that the largest percent Of
