'lncreased Taxation' and ' Unemployment' fX the mammoth advertisements of the Liquor Over-lords an attempt has been made to bludgeon the guileless public into the belief that National Prohibition will lend to Increased Taxation and Unemployment. Of course, this is only the merest bluffs .'The '-stunts" of the Liquor Trade propaganda are like the human bodv—" fearfully and wonderfully made." Let us look at homo first lor -VC'ITAL FACTS, not blustering assertions. No-License, which is the nearest approach to National Prohibition we have, has been operating In Clutha, Oamaru, Invoreargill, Masterton, and other places for years past. Has taxation gone up in any of these districts ow.ng to the loss oi income from the cancelled Liquor Licenses:- Not one! The opposite is the ease. In some instances rates and taxes are lighter and less than when License was in operation. Consider the pos.tion of "the same districts in regard to unemployment. There is none! A good deal of the cash that used to go over the liars for booze became at 'once available for the employment of labor, either direct, as m farming communities or indirectly through extens'ons, building, increase of staffs, etc., as In the towns and townships. The'stupidity of'the "Trade's" assertions constitutes their own refutation! What has occurred in the No-License districts of New Zealand is exactly what is taking place in the United Slates. People are apt to forgot that long years ago some 34 States adopted Prohibition—--24 of them by general referendum', just as in Clutha and lnvercargill, and 10 by Legislative enactment, the State representatives acting in accord with the wish of the people. If Increased Taxation and Unemployment were the. certain outcome of Prohibition, why in the name of common sense have these States time and again repeated their votes for Prohibition, and made sure of it by still bigger and bigger majorities ? CONSIDER THESE i E"vY FACTS:—We won't tako such prosperous Prohibition States as Maine, Kansas, and others, but quote the 1014-1916 results from some ordinary States. In 1914 Oregon carried' Prohibition by a majority of 36,480: In 1916 they increased this majority by 18,146. In Arizona the 1916 majority was 8,856 ever that of 1914; the. same in Colorado, where the majority was 74,220 bigger! In Michigan the 1.010 vote for Prohibition was increased by 138,312. fn Ohio—note this well! — during 1918 Prohibition was carried by a majority of 25,759, but at the next poll in 1920 the voting was 290141 the majority raised by over a quarter of a million!! The only possible deductions from these results is that the people were? stark, staring mad. or else that they had found from ACTUAL EXPERIENCE that Prohibition did NOT create either Increased Taxation or Unemployment, but brought about such favorable conditions that the exact opposite was tho happy result. PROHIBITION IS JUST COMMON SENSE—the benefit of the many at tho cost of the few— the working out of tho sound British principle 4i Tho Greatest, Good of the Greatest Number." Place against all the clap-trap and hot air of the Liquor propaganda the following definite and categorical statements by the two greatest men in the United States, who are in possession of the latest Official Pacts and speak authoritatively:— :i™j«fM The President of the ited States (Mr Harding) says: "Prohibition is Permanently Established in the United State?. The PEOPLE put Prohibition in the Constitution, and the PEOPLE have now Voted to keep it there." (Ex-President Taft) says : Prohibition was "Adapted by an OVERWHELMING Expression of the American People." Don't forget that tho PoopU of A-nerica hale incr'nied Taxation nnd Unemployment just e« much as we t!r> ! DON'T BE MISLED by the unreliable and p.i parte statements which the Liquor Overlords an circulating, to blind their followers. to the actual facts.
