WHAT DOES PROHIBITION IT MEANS PERSECUTION, NOTE! YOU WOULD LOSE THE RIGHT OF DETERMINATION. IT WOULD COMPEL THE SUBJECT TO USE DRUGS. IT WOULD ENCOURAGE SLY GROG SELLING. IT WOULD MAKE CRIMINALS AND LAW BREAKERS. IT WOULD DESTROY THE PRIVACY OF T«E HOME. Roa4 latest move by Prohibitionists in America, taken from New York Journal of Commerce,” dated February 24th, 1919: “At Prohibition Conference hold at Albany 23rd February, 1919, it endorsed a Bill that is now before the Senate called “THE WALKER SEARCH AND SEIZURE BILL,” “which if carried gives power -to the State to SEARCH every PRIVATE HOME and confiscate all alcoholic beverages kept for private consumption.” ARE WE NEW ZEALANDERS INEFFICIENT?

AND THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION: £41,000,000 THE ABOVE ARE SOLID FACTS, mpare fchcae figures with the achievements of other countries, and SHOW US ONE THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN NEW ZEALAND. Before: why should we throw away £6,000,000 this year increase the already heavy burden of tha Taxpayer by £1,500,000 each year indefinitely? )NT BE MISLED OR CAJOLED by the shibboleth ol FOREIGN PAID AGITATORS wbo have no stake in the country, and will not have to bear their al»aw of The DURDEN THEY ARE TRYING TO HANG ROUND YQ]DB NECK, > YOUR OWN THINKING; AND DEMAND THE RIGHT OF SELF DETE RMIN ATION IN THIS MATTER. IT MEANS INCREASED TAXATION. TAXPAYERS: What would Prohibition with Compensation Cost You? SIR JOSEPH WARD said £4,500,000, perhaps £5,000.000 or £6,000,000 the first year. LOSS OF REVENUE, INTEREST, AND SINKING FUND £1,500,000 each following year. £6,000,000 would mean approximately £6 per head for every man, woman and child in New Zealand; or for a man with a wife and four children £36. HOW IS THE EXTRA TAXATION TO BE MADE UP? Either by increased Customs Duties, or Increased Land and Income Tax. INCREASED CUSTOMS DUTIES OR INCREASED TAXES MUST MEAN Increased Cost of Living. ‘ • * WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY THE EXTRA TAXATION? The Farmer?. Ye»! The Importer? Yea! The Manufacturer? Yea! The Merchant! Yea I The Retailer? Y«|| YES! They will all have to pay, but they can all pasait on to YOU! WHO CAN YOU PASS IT ON TO? NO ONE! You Will Hava to Foot the Bill!

FIVE TIMES MORE TAXATION THAN IN 1914. New Zealand’s Debt is now nearly At 5 per bent., this means taxation to the amount of £10,000,000 a year. Our Soldiers’ Pensions, nobly earned, will be at least £2,600,000 per annum. In 1914 the interest charge for the National Debt was less thap £3,000,0(30. Thus, £9,000,000 is being added to the burdens of taxpayers and the cost of living has increased out of all proportion .to any increases in wages or salaries. Now, Prohibitionists ami Efficiency Wen want you to gm> your vpte to add £6,000,000 more this year to the Debt, to make you pay £1,500,000 in further taxation for all time, thereby raising the annual charges upon'the people tot debt alone to £13,500,000. Besides increasing Taxation Prohibition will throw out of work 12,000 {twelve thousand) Bread-winners with 45,000 Women and Children dependenta. , ; , , ' : UNEMPLOYMENT MJ3ANS HARDSHIP.
