HOW TO VOTE FOR PROHIBITION. YOU MUST STRIKE OUT THE TWO TOP LINES. IF THE TWO TOP LINES ARE NOT STRUCK OUT, YOU WILL BE VOTING FOR LIQUOR. The Poll will be decided on the bare majority, and if carried, Prohibition will come into force on.July Ist next. HOW STATE PURCHASE WILL INCREASE THE COST OF LIVING ACCORDING TO THE LIQUOR PARTY'S FIGURES. LAST APRIL THE LIQUOR TRADE SAID t?iat if Prohibition was carried with £4,500,000 Compensation, the cost of living would increase as follows: TEA to .. 5s lOd lb. TOBACCO to 16s lb. SUGAR to s£d lb. HOUSE RENTS by 3/- to 5/- per week. They advised yon, if not in favour of Prohibition, not to vote for it with Compensation in April, but to GET IT FOR NOTHING NEXT TIME. NOW THE TRADE WANTS YOU TO VOTE for State Purchase at a cost of £10,000,000 to £15,000,000, including about £5,000,000 AS COMPENSATION. If £4,500,000 meant such enormous increases in the cost of living, WHAT WILL BE THE INCREASE if the Trade receives £10,000,000 to £15,000,000? Distributed over our population of one million this equals £10 to £15 per head, or £50 to £75 per family of five. I "viu rsiiC i? A * wrsnaj wnxinunnvo i u/yrn vno state1 mm fin AW-- Mjn fmnTon?
