The contestants will agsume that it will take an average of $10,000 of the public’s money to operate each saloon for the average .aloon in Bcltrami county, or in sther words that about $500,000 in cash would be spent by the public cach year for the merchandise of those 50 saloons, and as a second con- ~ideration, that the public, in spend- ing this amount of money will spend at least $200,000 worth of laborers’ :ime.loafing around the saloons that could otherwise have been utilized in sroducing wealth, or taking care of dairy cows, or a total expenditur during a period of 10 years, for mer: chandise of 50 saloons of five million % dollars in cash, and two million dol- lars in loss of time. ‘Will the executive committee of th Merchants and Tax Payers’ heague claim that my figures are too high If so, let them bring out exact figures for the past ten years.of the opera. tion of the 50 leading saloons in th county. The question then comes, ai the end of 10 years, how much actual good has the expenditure of. five mil- lion dollars of the people’s cash, an two million dollars of the laborers’ time in the saloons done for farm and home development? We make spe: cial mention of the farm for the rea- son that the league claims to be ‘farmers’ league.” . oo Economical Facts. Let us get at the facts from an economic standpoint for the best de- velopment of Beltrami county. On the other, or dairy cow side, the con- testants should consider that for the same 10-year period, if theé public would deposit thelr $500,000 in cash that would be spent for salosn grer- chandise, in the rural credit hiinks; with ‘the instruction that the money should be lent out for the purchase of not less than 7,000 dairy cows per year, or during a period of 10 years, that such a move would bring into Beltrami county from the outside, 70,000 new dairy cows, and that the $200,000 per year in time lost loaf- ing around the saloons would be spent by the public in producing food and taking care of these 70,000 extra dairy cows in Beltrami county, will the actual benefits in the way of farm development from these 70,000 extra dairy cows and their increase, equal the benefits that would be re- ceived from the same amount of money invested across the bars of the proposed 50 saloons? The dairy cow will produce better farms, furnish healthful food in the homes and give employment to more local people than the 50 saloons, and the question before the rank and file of Beltrami.county should be to de- termine in which line of industrial development can we invest our money for the next ten years to the best advantage for our county.

The argument that the closing of saloons will"throw men out of work is not only fallacious, but the very contrary is true. If the capital now invested in manufacturing liquor were turned into other channels, ap- proximately eight times as many men would find work to do. If you vote for prohibition next Monday you will be helping the man who is now odut of employment, gain work. Alcohol can be used as a food but at a cost, both economical and physi- ological, which causes bankruptey of pocket and health. Alcohol 1s a menace to personal and community health, is a common source of sickness and death, is blockading the path of preventative medicines and is a menace to the so- cial and physical development of the nation. Even a moderate use of alcohol in- creases the still-births. It will pay you, Mr. Farmer, to leave your work for a short time next Monday and vote against the liquor evil. You will benefit more by this than you would by any other kihd of work you could do in the same time. None of the literature circulated by the “wets” mentions anything of what the saloons did for Bemidji. Since the saloons have been taken out of the city, the city is more.pro- gressive and enterprising, public im- provements have been made on large scale and the people are health- ier and wealthier. a Mr. and Mrs. H. Mayne Stanton returned this morning to -Bemidji from their honeymoon trip. R. C. Hayner, who is operating a land office in Minneapolis, arrived in the city this morning for a visit with hs family.
