PROHIBITION & A statement on this question appear ed in the last issue of this paper, Continuing this statement:— Q.—WHAT, THEN, IS PROBABLE NET RESULT OF PROHIBITION TO THE COUNTRY'S FINANCES? Answer.— On basis of 5 per cent, increased efficiencyGains will be .„., £2,370,000 Losses will be ... £1,250,000 Net gain through Prohibition .. £1,120,000 Jf increased efficiency is 10 per cent, it will add to this another 5 per cent., or ' Making Net Gain -^—-.-.—.-.v.- £1,900,000 If American Estimate of 21 per cent, increased efficiency is attained it will add to the revenue another .... £1,716,000 Bringing the Total Gain to .... £3,016,000 Q.—IS THIS THE ONLY FINANCIAL GAIN TO THE DOMINION? Answer.—No. The above only deals with the gain to State Revenues. The State now only takes £ls 12s in every £IOO of Production, the other £B4 8s remains with the people. The gain to the people, therefore, would be immensely greater than the gain to the National Revenue. There is no doubt that Prohibition means a higher standard of living, a reduced cost of living, and reduced taxation. It means more production, higher incomes, and greater earning power for everybody. It requires no financial expert to see that if you increase the volume of production available for taxation you reduce the rate of tax required to produce a given sum, and also the reduction in the State expenditure that Prohibition will bring about, will still further reduce the amount of taxation.

T?VERY man engaged or hoping to engage in business should have a sound knowledge of book-keeping. It is indispensable to the successful conduct of business. A man may buy well and sell well, but he must also have a sound knowledge of the Accountancy side of t'w business. The Courts tell us how many men get into serious trouble through their failure to keep proper books of account. By taking a course of study with BANKS' COLLEGE the prospective business man can obtain that sound knowledge of Accountancy principles, which is so essential to success. Is it not worth while devoting a little to master this increasingly important subject? ALL TUITION IS INDIVIDUAL, so the progress of a student depends upon I hi* own ability aud pwa«vw%«"- %
