THE MODERATE LEAGUE ASKS YOU to pay the Trade responsible for these tho sum of .C 15,000,000. THE TRADE ASKS YOU to let it continue this deadly work. It has the nervo to say that Prohibition 'will increase crime, although tho Criminal Records say that these wero all caused by drink. SIR ROBERT'STOUTi said on Friday, November 28: "I had boen in the habit of putting down onethird of the crimo to drink. During the last few months I have put two-thirds down to it;"—" Evening Post," November 29. If the Chief Justico is not in a position to say what causes crime, who is? , rTOW-ABOUT REVENUE. , ONE MILLION is tho Total Annual Liquor Revenue. NINE MILLIONS is what tho country spends (directly, and indirectly), to get this. It gels in addition— '-.'■.. Murders, Suicides, Divorces. Assaults, Rapes; Robberies. Accil- - Drunkenness, etc., and WHICH WILL YOU HAVE, The Million with the crimes, or ! The Nino Millions without them? Does any sano man believe that Prohibition can mean increased taxation? ' , NO INCREA SED TAXATION. It is 10 years since either Mr. Massey or Sir Joseph Ward made any pronouncement with regard to Prohibition and Taxation. When passing present Licensing Legislation neither of them made any reference to loss of revenue. ' ■ They had just returned from Canada and America, and while there learned that America surrendered ,030,000,000 per year Liquor Revenue without any" suggestion of further taxation. Sir .Tames Allen, Minister of Finance in Mr. Massey's Cabinet, stated definitely that if Prohibition wero carried ho "had no auxiety about the revenue." Vote for Prohibition and Prosperity, and put an end to Crime, Poverty, and Unhappiness, Caused by Drink. STRIKE OUT THjE TWO TOP ' LINES.
