Btsell asks several questions, oat of which I will not attempt to answer, as (hey are matters of com- mon knowledge. To begin with, he says my letter contains some points which it might be well to consider, If I bad not thought so I would not have written. Mr. Et- sell states that the people are to diame for the disgraceful condi- tions. He is right. He also as that I am aware of this fact. tt again. It is one of the plain ry-day facts of which I am aware. Here is another: The peo ple are not all to blame. For in stance, there are many large prop erty owners who would gladly bear the increased burden of taxes and have the whole liquor business abolished, but they are not a major ity of the voters. If they are we would have had national prohibl- tion (which I believe ts the oak kind that would do any real good long ago. Now as to the — Injustice to ealoonkeepers: If I am correctly informed the liquor deal- ors are thoroughly organized, aot- Ing together, almost as a unit for their own interests. Am I right, Mr, Etsell? Do we ever hear of them wasting their tim energy and money in sensel cr - tion? Then what is to hinder their passing the cost of this additional tax onto the consumer, the drink- ing public, where it justly belongs? And he, being a game sport as well as © aumane gentleman, will aave ttle more for his and his “night cap” in order that toe vietims of the business may have the relief to which they are those who dance a the fiddle: One point more: The saloonkeoper has an opportunity such as no oth- er individual has to discourage cessive drinking. Being human like the rest of us, he would at once see his interest in this respect.
