WHO WILL PAY ? The Parmer & the Worker. The cost of Prohibition will be £4,500,000 in Cash, also £1,500,000 annually. WHO IS GOING TO PAY THIS ? If it is put upon the Land Tax then the Farmer will be compelled to pay. The Ordinary Land Tax amounted to under £350,000 in 1917, (as per Year Book , p. 660.) SO that it will take four times the Ordinary Land Tax annually to make up the loss the Prohibitionists would cause by their fanaticism. If the Farmer now pays £2O in Ordinary Land Tax per annum, he would have to pay £BO if Prohibition is carried. The Worker cannot escape, and if the Farmer escapes it will all fall on the Worker. Anyway, the cost of living 1 will be increased, and all commodities—sugar and tea, boots and clothing will be dearer. If you do not want the Cost of Living increased you will save £6,000,000 by voting for continuance thus I Yote for National Continuance. i 'B TT.i jl f ivi xi uiuiviiciii Compensation
