A tew of the remainder lived in small Villages and did not feel themselves competent to express an opinion; two refused to talk because of previous connection with the liquor trafic; others were elther officlals or subor- dinates of corporations whose policy id not permit public statements, and somo frankly stated that they were afraid to give their honest opinion under their published names. One man, a retail merchant from a small city in the Middle West, thus stated his position: “If 1 should allow you to‘print what I really thought, und the article went back home, my store would be black- listed. We have a small but extremely determined anti-liquor organization, which would brand me as a ‘liquor man,’ a term which certainly 1s not merited.” On another occasion the hotel room telephone was answered by a very resolute Indy, who insisted on know- ing the nature of the intended inter- view with her husband, and then re- plied: ‘‘He’s here, but you can’t talk talk to him about Prohibition—most | Prohibition continues.

VIEWS OF FIFTY BRAVE ENOUGH TO TALK, ‘The statements of the fifty men are as follows C. A. AYERS, Mill Supplies, Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Astor—I believe Prohibition has brought about a bet- terment of conditions for the poor. They have more to spend for other things since the passing of the sa- loon. The rich, however, seem to be growing crazy about liquor and drink more than in the times when it was lawfully procurable. Stills, also, have come into pretty general use, but I think that this can be controlled if AMOS A, BETTS, Chairman Ari- zona Corporation Commission, Phoe- nix, Ariz, at the McAlpin—Arizona went “dry” in 1914 and then “bone dry" ih 1916. This State law was of great benefit in the copper mining districts, where the efficency of labor Increased about 50 per cent. The farming and ranching districts were similarly benefited, and the law andj its enforcement had practically unan- imous support, But national Prohibi- tion has brought about a number of serious conditions. [t has broaght into Arizona, or created there, a highly undesirable element, the smug- glers who are bringing liquor across the Mexican border and the bootleg- ers who are‘distributing it. The home- made product also complicates the sit- | same problems as the rest of the coun- no, Cal., at the Martinique—Business has never been better in our part of California because Prohibition has boomed the raisin industry and the growing of wine grapes.
