THE PROHIBITION POLL.
Electors iu Now Zoaland to-day would like very much to know how tho 4 V millions compensation is going to ho paid to tho dead and gono liquor interests aftor April 10. The siulcing fund mothod will probably bo omployod. Payment by sinking fund simply moans the payment of an •von sum each year, over a givon number of years, until a dobt automatically ceases. Hundrods and thousands of folk to-day aro paying back to building societies tho loans on their homos or aro ropaying money advanced by tho Advances to Sottlors Board. Tho procoss is similar to that of buying an articlo on tho “ easy torms ” or “ instalment ” plan of onjoying its uso and convonionco whilo wo aro paying it oil, instoad of waiting until wo liavo found tho ready cash. In tho caso of liquor compensation, payment by sinking fund is doubly simple. Tho money drawn from liquor ohaunols and transferred to healthier industries will give an in : croasod roturu right away and payment of tho compensation will bo much easier than tho burden of keeping tho trallic and its unhealthy results. Striko out tho top lino on Thursday, April 10—right out 1 28
