LIBERTY! PROSPERITY Electors Beware. Electors Consider. Strike out Last Two Lines on Local Option Ballot Paper. PROHIBITION . t ' would deprive voters of all future control over the sale of Alcoholic Liquors and inflict grievous wrong on those who are.now compelle by law to expend large amounts to make adequate urovision for the comfort of travellers. PROHIBITION would, in the opinion of Mr. Justice Cooper, if carried in a district, prohibit the sale of New Zealand Wines or any other description of alcoholic liquor, * and prevent any license being granted in that district. PROHIBITION _ _ u ' . in the colony would mean a direct loss in revenue of nearly three-quarters of a million pounds, or one-fourth of e ’ 4^ re , ? * n ® *";?55 ase taxes on land and the necessaries of life," the local authorities having power to increase rates in case of loss of revenue through Pro i i o PROHIBITION , m „ r ... his been a dismal failure wherever tried in the United States (vide Rowntree and Sherwell's Temperance Standard Book). Eleven out 01 s J x „ c-ipf s abandoned it. The five States that retain it have a population of about three millions, while those that have abandoned it have a popu ai n o v n millions. PROHIBITION produces more drunkanneas, and turns whole districts into huge sly-grog shops, with their numerous attendant evi s. PROHIBITION would mean that vile- and poisonous liquors would be sold that would pay no duty. PROHIBITION a failure in Clutha vide Bishop Nevill, who states that "increased drinking occurs in the private houses in Clntha, spreading to the wives. The liquor ’ ■ is on tap all night,” PROHIBITION a failure in the King Country, where there have been 164 informations against sly-grog sellers since 1900. PROHIBITION wonid mean the abolition of Old Age Pensions, PROHIBITION is a tyrannical interference with the liberty of the subject. PROHIBITION robs temperance of all virtue and treats moderation as a crime. . . ... ... half a century of Prohibition, has 43 drunkards per 1000 of population; while New Zealand, under its Prohibitionists cannot deny that Maine, y drunkards pe/1000 of its population. STRIKE OUT EAST TWO EINES ON EOCAE OPTION BAEEOT PAPER THUS : I vote that the Number of Licenses existing in the District Continue.
