doubtedly bring in a larger revenue
to the Government than has ever
been had from this source before,
while insuring purity of quality
and elimination of the saloon . The
method of taxation suggested will
encourage the use of the lighter al-
coholic beverages and gradually do
away with the harm that has been
done by attempted prohibition and
rtstoro progress towards temper-
once, which has had a‘tcrriblc set-
back by fanatical reformers“
The Cost. of Prohibition.
Most people do not realize what
attempted prohibition is costing our
people in dollars and cents. and
what the dishonest are making tout
of lt-eall of which should go into
the treasury to reduce taxes. Some-
body is going to profit anyway. and
there is no reason why the people
should not. have the advantage of it.
The cost of prohibition is not only
the expense to the national govern-
ment. although it includes it. Every
State. every city pays enormously;
every police department uses up a
large portion of its efficiency in
rhulng ‘bottles Instead of burglars.
Tho-profit of bootleggers and smug-
glers comes out of the pockets of
our people and all for an attempt
which four years has shown has
been abortive and which has result-
ed and always will result only in
broken law. unwholcsonio beverag-
es, and a moral and physical break-
down 0 ffuturc generations.
"An estimate of these ' expenses
ohould be approximated in order to
enlighten us no to the‘ probable loos
to the nation .and to this should be
added what. could be obtained by
the proposed method of taxation.
The oxpeme of attempted prohibi-
tion- enforcement added to the taxes
which can be reasonably exacted
frorn alcoholic beverages would
probably provide for more than
one-half of the National budget as
well as save State and city govern-
ments in very large proportion of
their expenditures.
"This plan would also restore re-
spect for low. start temperance
snow, gradually, eliminate home
brew and distillation (a. new and far
more insidious problem than the
saloon). The saloon by this plan
would be eliminated. but the home
brow and. distillation. a direct pro—
duct of attempted prohibition, will
need the.cooporntlon of us nl.‘ to
combat it. The only remedy to stop
attempted prohibition and substi-
tutonno and reasonablo regulation.
"If we were to adopt a. similar
methods of taxing ingredients in
beverages such as cocaine. caffeln,
ginger .rootl, etc. which have medl-
cinal properties. some of which are
valuable as medicines but deleteri-
ous as beverages. it would still fur-
ther add to the revenue: and if
candy (which makes alcohol inside
the human body) were taxed in in
similar way to tobacco. we would
again add to the great cum avail-
ablo for governmental expenses.
Anti-Saloon League Backers?
“‘It in of great importance to find
out where the bulk of financial sup-
port for tho Anti-Saloon League
comes from.
"‘None of us want the return of
the saloon nor the continuance of
any that exist. .
"Why, therefore, any such organ-

waste in a sanitary method. This
has not been done in Norwalk. it
has ruined some of the most values

Captain Decker has invested more
than $5,000 in the land during this
summer alone. This outlay. he says,
represents clams and oysters plant-

now cannot touch.‘
"For eight Sundays'.‘ he says, "I

Cun Make Money Here.
' "Only a short time ago I had a
piece of property for sale on West
avenue which I offered at 315.000.
I approached several real estate men
on this property but it was impossi-
ble to interest any of them. Within
a months' time I sold this property
for 817.000. so you see money can
'stlll' be made in Norwalk in real es-

“As Mr. Hoyt also said, we are
only fifty miles from New York and
that Norwalk has a great future.
‘ “Stories about Florida. are really
unbelievable. but most of them are
true, and one has to go to Florida
to really see before they can believe

‘ “I think it is worth anyone's time
to go to Florida to see how these
cities are being built over night and
see these wonderful developments.
regardless of whether they buy
property or not. It is well worth

"There is no question in my mind
