THE PEOPLE'S CATECHISM IN VIEW OF THE 10th. WHO PAYS FOR PHOHIBITI0N? BUT THE WORKER MAY THINK that tho Government will put it on the FARMER. WHAT HAS THE EFFICIENCY LEAGUE DONE FOR THE WORKER? IS THE MOVEMENT OF POPULATION a true index of a Town's Prosperity? IF THIS ISSStO t Drink in Timaru must compare unfavourably with ■, Dry iNVERCARGILL. : / HOW DOES THE PROHIBITION- , IST show that the £5,000,000 per annum spent on drink, is ,■•• lost? ■>■ ' E DRY PARTY STATES in a notice, yesterday that Prohibition will result in INCREASED, EFFICIENCY.' 777WHAT ARE THE LICENSING FEES paid to tte TIMARU BOROUGH? ;■•: . ,L,7:17. "t HOTELS DECREASE the rating values of the Buildings y 77.7',; HOW Wlli THIS LOSS BE MADE" MB PHILIP SNOWDEN s'ays—The working man. "If every man became teetotal the lost revenue • ould be made up by indirect taxation, which would "make the tax fall on some other commodity that was in common use among the working classes." If it is put on the Farmers' Land Tax which in 1917 was £350,000, then the Land Tax will be increased by an additional £1,500,000, which the Government will have to find to make Up for the loss of revenue from the trade and the cost of compensation, etc. If this happens tho Farmer who is paving £2O Land Tax to-day will suddenly find it jumped up to £BO to satisfy the fanatic. . NOTHING BUT TALK to them. It could not find the money to reduce the high cost of, living or to build decent homes for the people, but it would force the public to raise £4,500,000, as the Prohibitionists say—in reality £16,000,000-rfor the extremists' pelasure.
