WHY BOOKMAKERS ? Yes, and why not? Why shouldn't the race-going piibli in this' country be able to bet in smal amounts, as is the case' in England Au6?ra!ia, and South-Africa?. With thi Totalisator system that obtains in Xcv Zealand there is quite a high minimus: bet. • You can't stop people from gambling 60 why encourage many of them tc spend more in this way than they cat really afford to? This is precisely what the Totalieator does to numbers ol citizens. By licensing bookmakers the sporting community would be able to bet within its means. The Government would have a new source of considerable revenue. And the interests and rights of the people as a whole—not small individual sections —would be studied. This matter is being widely discussed at present, and a petition ,to'-IParliament is now being circulated. All sportsmen and broadminded people who value their personal liberty are invited to sign this petition. Tell your friends, too, that their signatures will help the good cause of freedom. The petition may be signed almost anywhere—look Kup to-day.— (Ad.)
