RINGWOOD, XER ILLINOIS jfc; ife How Prohibition Will Affect You (This advertisment Paid for by McHcnry Liquor Dealers Association) All prohibition agitation is based on the pretext that men are too weak to control their appetites, and that all temptation must !>e removed from them. Prohibition leaders proclaim that they do not seek to prohibit men from drinking, but carefully refrain from mentioning that prohibiting the l ight to sell also removes the oppor­ tunity to purchase. The millions of people who enjoy a glass of beer or wine or whiskey in moderation, with­ out detriment to themselves or others, are by prohibitory laws deprived of the right to purchase openly. The hundreds of thousands for whom such beverages are deemed essential by their physicilans will be absolutely prevented from obtaining same except by stealth. It is an insult to the man­ hood of the American people to be told by the sponsors of prohibitory laws that, like the Russians, they can­ not be trusted to use such beverages iti moderation. Prohibition agitators, largely thru fabulous and extravagant misrepre­ sentations under the guise of moral­ ity, appeal only to the emotional side of human nature. Altho they hypo­ critically claim that they do not de­ sire to interfere with the individual's right to drink, they constantly assert that even the moderate use of liquors is detrimental and leads to excessive use. There are in cbntinental Europe, e., in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, etc., some 200 million people who have either wine )i- beer or spirits as a part of their laily bill of fare, and yet there is practically no drunkenness in those countries, and people live longer than the people of the United States. If it were true that the moderate use leads ) excess the peeple in these countries ould all be drunkards now. The prohibition law adopted by the state of Washington provides that citizens of that state may purchase once in twenty days, either one-half gallon of whiskey, one dozen quarts two dozen pints of beer, but since all sale or manufacture within the state is prohibited, they must purchase it from the outside, obtaining first a permit for each shipment from the county auditor, which costs 25 cents. The result is that many million dol­ lars' worth of property invested in breweries and wholesale and retail establishments within the state are practically destroyed, compelling the purchaser to go outside the state for his supply, paying express charges thereon which are sometimes more than the value of the goods. These provisions were incorporated in the law by the prohibitionists as a bid for the votes of those who believed that thereby a supply was assured to them. These people would not have voted for such a law had they properly under­ stood its mischievous results, or if they could have foreseen that the pro­ hibitionists, having won the first round, are already preparing addi­ tional legislation to stop absolutely the shipment into socalled "dry" te>- ritory. # In other state* prohibition laws for­ bid even the dispensation of liquors on a physician's prescription, and the sale of flavoring extracts,, because they contain alcohol; in yet other states search and seizure laws are ad­ vocated. Such laws everywhere only encourage secret and excessive drink­ ing, and always mean an unwarranted interference with personal liberty, and promote the secret sale as against the regluated and licensed traffic. What right has your neighbor to tell you what you should eat or drink? Whjpkey, altho stronger in itself than wine or beer, is always taken in much smaller quantities, so that the greater quantity of the one onsets the greater strength of the Esther. The temperate use of either is not in­ jurious .and is no more an economic waste than the use of candy, chewing gum or ice cream sodas. Half a bil­ lion dollars are invested in the liquor, brewing and allied industries, the de­ struction of which, without compensa­ tion, would mean financial panic. Milliona of men who would lose em­ ployment thereby, would crowd labor in other lines of industry and revolu­ tionize the wage market. The U. S. government would be deprived of its present revenue of about 300 million dollars annual internal revenue tax on liquors, which sum would have to be raised by other kinds of taxation. Municipal governments would lose license fees to the extent of some eighty million dollars. All without the slightest moral benefit. Can the country Afford it? Below is a comparison of the results of prohibition as against license tak­ en from the IJ.

POI.l, TAX AliAIN Poll Tax Will Again Be Levied lln- leHs Voted Down The present general assembly, thru an amendment to the road and bridge law, passed in 1915, provided for the levying of a poll tax upon all able liodied men of the township or road district between the ages of twenty- one and fifty years. In many of the townships and road districts the poll tax was abolished by a vote of the people subsequent to the passage of the road ancl bridge law in 1913. The amendment to which we have referred, passed in 1915, again makes the assessment of a poll tax obligatory, unless it is again abolished by a vote of the people. ibis can be done by submission to a vote at the election of April 4. But in order that it shall be placed before the people a petition must be filed with the town or district clerk not less than 15 days before the election to be held on April 4, in order that he may give notice of the fact that the people will vote upon this propo­ sition at the same time thiit he gives the notice of the election. In view of the fact that the poll tax has been abolished in McHenry for several years past it looks to us as if those interested will see to it that a petition is filed with Town Clerk Chas. B. Harmsen whereby the question will again be submitted to THE Greatest Successes THAT history has to record in commerce and finance have grown from modest beginnings. Add in­ dustry to thrift, and to these perseverance, and you've got a combination that compels success.
