Prohibition, What It Means. No more drunkenness. No more drink-caused murders, suicides, accidents, sickness or insanity. The of money now spent in drink will be spent on the reasonable comforts and luxuries of life. Increased revenue from the money when spent on other dutiable goods, nearly all of which pay a higher duty than beer. Decreased expenditure on prisons, police, asylums, charitable aid. hospitals, industrial schools ana reformatories. No time lost in recovering from drinking bouts. Greater efficiency in all departments of production and distribution. The Revenue Bogey What does the community pay for liquor? £3,803,488. And what revenue docs it get in return P £847,275. The liquor-seller collects £847,275 of revenue from the community and charges £2,956,163 for doing so. And we are asked to believe that if this wonderful system of collection were abolished we should be the poorer for the change. It surely does not require a financial genius to see that the country could still raise the revenue and be nearly £3,000,000 to the good. If the country be accustomed to throw four million pounds into the sea every year and the Government to catch one of the millions as it falls, how much poorer would the country be if it stopped throwing the four'millions away? Masterton Borough Council Speaks, And passed the following resolution unanimously: "That this Council emphatically protests against the unfair and malicious attempts made by a section of" the public to damage the credit of our town, such statements being contrary to fact; and further, we are satisfied that the business people recognise that financially and commercially Masterton never held a firmer position." Speaking to this, Cr. Donald said: "Trade in every line was improving, men in all branches of the building trade were wanted, new buildings were being erected; and business premises have been improved. Settlers in every part of the district were building, adding to or improving their homesteads, all going to prove that the people had every confidence in the district." Cr. O'Leary said his business during the past two years had increased 25 per cent, over the last twelve years. Cr. Pragnell said the only trade that had suffered was the "bunchole trade."
