, /.'_ - ! ' HTHE NATIONAL EFFICIENCY LEAGUE * advocates Prohibition not from the moral but purely from the economic standpoint. The fact that Prohibition will mean greatly increased prosperity to our Dominion has induced thousands of men who are not abstainers to join the League. In fact, in some towns over 80 per cent, of its members are moderate drinkers. , A dispassionate investigation of all the facts and .figures by the best business brains in our Dominion, „ reveals the irrefutable fact that Prohibition will Reduce the Cost of Living by Reducing Taxation and Increasing Production Careful calculations from Government Records result in these telling figures, based on the fact that all Revenue comes from Production: New Zealand's Annual Production is approximately.. ... .-. £100,000,000 ' The Net State Revenue of New Zealand last year was .. .. ~ £15,600,000 Thismeans that 15.6 per or £15:12:0 in every £100 production, went to the State. Experience in other countries proves that Prohibition results in increased working efficiency. American estimates based upon actual experience place the s increased efficiency at 21 per cent, but to be on the safe side, calculate it at only 5 per cent, which means £5,000,000 increased production.
