Of course you don’t! No sane person does. Yet that is exactly what the politicizns who want the Liguor Ref- erendum to pass are asking YOU to do. The Referendum Ballot merely says “Territorial control of intoxicating beverages by the establishment of Territorial liquor stores.” Does that tell you which of 23 monopoly systems ska will get if you sign the BLANK CHECK on Election , September 10th? It certainly does not! A Day We citizens of Alaska have a right to know in advance what we are voting for. We have the right to know WHO are slated to get the big jobs en the Territorial Liquor Monopoly Beard, what their salaries will be, how many agents, examiners, inspectors, under-cover men and stool- pigeons will be hired, and what their wages will be. We have a right to know IN ADVANCE a lot of things we are not heing told by those whe favor Territorial monpoly of liquor. WHAT'S MORE — THEY WON'T TELL! We signed a Blank Check in 1917 and got the Alaska Bone Dry Law. Do you want to do it again? Deon’t be misled by high-sounding phrases—Vote AGAINST political control ¢f liquor in Alaska. Alaska has Perritorial control of liquor under laws passed by the Legis- lature and regulations issued by the Treasurer. Alaska is new getting a higher net revenue from regulated liquor sales than the average of the monopoly states. Alaska gets $3.31 per capita, at a collection cost of only 36 cents, compared with most monepoly states of less than $2.00 at a collection cost of One Dollar. Know what you are voting for. We have a RIGHT to know. Don’t vote blindly! Don’t bring back the Bootlegger. Voie AGAINST (X) the Referendum, September 10th and prevent political control of liquor and loss to all taxpayers.
