HUSBAND AND WIFE. An Everyday. Consideration. Ethel: What do you think about this question of Continuance, George? George: I'm glad you mentioned it, fov I have 'been forming my own conclusions about it, and a little talk together will help both of us. Ethel: Well, George, I do not know much about it. George: And women, instead of consulting 0 their husbands, are allowing their "emotions and sentiments to lead them. ■ ■ '■ Ethel:-But wives should always, ask their husbands, for.--they are always mixing with other men who' take a..n interest in public quesstipns, anil their wives should be guided by them. George: That's right. Well, now, it's like this. We know where we are now, but if we vote to abolish the taxation which the liquor taxes bring in voluntarily the taxation must lie increased upon other commodities in general use, and the cost of living must go up, and we cannot expect any more than my annual increases in salary. We can't afford it. Ethel: What does this voluntary taxation amount to? George: Nearly two millions every year. Ethel: That is a lot of money. George: More than that, there will he the cost of putting . Prohibition . into operation, say another million at least. ■The taxation must .be found, 'and-if itis put on to the moneyed people, the merchants who import goods, they just pass it on to the consumers —that's us. Ethel: What can we do -to avoid that? George: We must vote for Continuance. Ethel: Will that prevent any increase in the cost of living? George: Too right, it will. Tt will do more. You have read about how the social condition of America has -been degraded by Prohibition; and you know that all the Canadian Provinces that have tried it for seven or eight years have chucked it on to the scrap heap. It has introduced more graft in America, and" increased crime. Indeed, not one of the promises of. the Prohibitionists has come true. 1 was inclined tb their view before the experiences of Canada and America proved the worthiessness of Prohibition. Whqrever it has been tried it has proved worse than a failure. Ethel: But these.-Prohibitionists say give it a trial. George: You cannot give it a trial; once here the law provides it is here for keeps. I am taking no chances. I am voting for Continuance. Ethel: So-will I.—(Ad.)

Reporting to yesterday's meeting of the Auckland Power Board, the general manager paid a tribute to the "very excellent work done by Mr. McDonald and the jointers in reinstating and making siood the damage which occurred in Queen Street" at the recent blow-out at the corner of Wyndham Street.
