Lost Friday a public meet- w ing of Ashfourton Residents Strongly Recommended Ail Electorates to try NoLicense. The Chairman ot that meeting was Dr. Trevor, a well-known and highly respected medical man. Would you like to know his opinion ? Mere it is : DR. TREVOR said: " Ho was not a Prohibiiionisfc and not a Total Abs'.aicer. lie did not vote on the last occasion in Ashburton for No- License, but for Reduction. Ssmes then he was coys vii need that NoLicense had been utterly and entirely satisfactory. He had lived as long, or longer in the town than anyone in the room, and he had neves* seen it so clears Ey, so orderly and so pleasant to Uve in as it was now. Undoubtedly, therefore, lie would vote for NoLicense on the comiag occasiop. Nothing in this wosid! would prevaal upon him to vote for the re-opening 1 of the bars." You're afraid about Rates, are you ? Read this,, then : RIGHT HON. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN : "If the desire for strong drink were removed we should see our taxes removed by the miigion. We should see our Gaols and Woikhouscs empty." RIGHT HON. W. E. GLADSTONE, the Empire's Greatest Financier*: " No Treasurer need ever trouble himself about the loss of drink revenue, for the saving 1 in expenditure would far Olfltwecg"h St. Give me a sober people and the Revenue will take care of itself." These opinions are justified by New Zealand experience : PORT CHALMERS, under NoLicense reduced its rates 3d in the <£. BALCLUTHA, GORE, MATAURA have cot needed to increase the Rates a Single id ASHBURTON increased its Rates to pay off an Overdraft contracted utubr License, but after two years of WoLtcersse Reduced them by 6d in the &. Electors in every No-Li-cense Electorate in the colony are thoroughly convinced of its SSJCCSSS, aud advise everybody to try it. Wanganui Electors, Follow the Example of those who , know they have A lea! Oood Thing !
