COMPENSATION TO LIQUOR TIUDEVersus" - PROHIBITION FOR NOTHING. Q. —What is the suggestion? Ans.—That if you vote Continuance on 10th April you., . will then have the opportunity of voting Prohibition without compensation at next General Election. Q. —Who is suggesting that? * Ans.—THE LIQUOR TRADE. 1 Q.—What does the Trade really want? Ans.—lt wants — (1) CONTINUANCE. , (2) STATE PURCHASE. (3) COMPENSATION.' The last thing on earth it wants is Prohibition without compensation. Q. —Why, then, is the Trade suggesting a way to get Prohibition for nothing? Ans.—Because it wants to sidetrack your Vote on 10th April, knowing that the THREE-ISSUE handicap, which is as bad as the old THREE-FIFTHS HANDICAP, will defeat Prohibition at the next General Election. The Trade knows that Continuance will be safe for. years to come unless the law is changed. Q. —How will the voting work out? An 5.—500,00.0 electors will probably vote. Prohibition or National Ownership must have at least 250,000 votes to win. If 250.000 voted for National Prohibition, . 150.000 voted for National Ownership, 100.000 voted Ntional Continuance, no issue having an absolute majority, Continuance would win. The present position would , remain, although only 100,000 votes were cast k for Continuance arid 400,000 against it. ' THE SUGGESTIONS CAME FROM THE TRADE. DON’T PLAY THE TRADE’S GAME ; VOTE PROHIBITION WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. DON’T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY AND THEN REGRET IT ALL YOUR LIFE. REMEMBER!— PROHIBITION never had a fair chance in the past because it had to fight the THREE-FIFTHS handicap. PROHIBITION will not have a fair chance in the future because it will have to fight the THREEISSUE handicap. > PROHIBITION will have its FIRST, LAST, and ONLY CHANCE of a fair ran on Thursday, 10th April. THEREFORE, STRIKE OUT THE TOP LINE ON THURSDAY, 10th APRIL. For further information on Compensation see last issue of this paper and next issue. NOTE.—If you require any information regarding Prohibition, ■or if there is any question you would like answered, write or wire “Abolition,” Box 95, G.P.0., Wellington.* tSTEIKE OUT THE TOP LINE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 10.

THE PROHIBITION POLL. In connection with the forthcoming Prohibition noli it is well for electors to remember that ample provision, has been made in the Bill to secure supplies of liquor for sacramental and medicinal purposes. Alcohol will still: be available wherever- it is’ necessary in cases of sickness; another important exemption for alcohol for industrial or scientific use. -The Government has taken every step to see that when Prohibition is carried there will be no difficulty in obtaining alcohol where it is needed. See to it, therefore, that you strike out the top line on Thursday, 10th April.* For Use BegisteredName for Hess’s Essence Hoof The Great Money-Saving Beniady FOR COUCHS, COLSS, CATARRH Costs 2/* Metros f pint Ssvos 10/h.
