The New Zealand Moderate League recommends support of the State Purchase proposal on the following grounds:— (a) It would eliminate the element of private profit. (b) The public interest would be the first consideration. (c) A prompt response to all public requirements would be secured. (d) It would be a guarantee for the quality of liquor supplied and service rendered. (e) It would mean a rc-organisation, re-distribution and reduction* where advisable, of licensed houses, and doing away with contributory causes of, and incentives to, excess. (f) Houses retained would be improved in accordance with public requirements. (g) It would provide freedom and means for experiments in the interests of temperance reform. (hj) It would prove a sound state investment. (i) It would maintain the present revenue and avoid dislocation of the present taxing system. (j) Its trial in the Carlisle area in Britain has proved a complete success from the moral, social, and financial standpoints. Convictions for Drunkenness in Carlisle in 1916 were 953. State Ownership was then adopted, and The convictions Dropped in 1917 to ... ... ... 320 And Further Decreased in 1918 to 80 The Financial Statement of the General Manager for 1918 shows a net profit on capital invested of 15 per cent. In New Zealand No Money will be required to bo found, because the Liquor Trade has committed itself to the principle of accepting payment in Government Debentures.— Vide Petition circulated by the Trade in 1918. Remember that if Prohibition is Carried the Act lays down that There Will be No Further Vote on the Liquor Question in New Zealand. Sec. 64, Licensing Amendment Act, 1918. DO NOT BE,TRAPPED by the prohibitionist statement that if you vote for Prohibition now you can get State Purchase next time. Because under the law THERE IS TO BE NO NEXT TIME for you.
