This. percentage is four or five times greater than required for any other question. Next, it places the entire: burden of cost and.labor upon those seeking the referendu.. As aIl villages, are "«Wet"' without a ireferendum, this falls upon those, seeking te prevent the establishinent ,of saloons., And then..the question is se worded that the voter. must vote "YES" if he desires to vote against saloons, wýhen hie would niaturally. expect te vote "N o." Here is the exact phrasing as it will appear 'on the officiai ballott:. SIIALL T'HE SALE AT RETAIL 0F ALCOHOLIC. LIQUOR BE PROHIBITED IN THJS VILLAGE?" If you wish te. keep this village f ree of saloons yeu must place an "'X" in the square opposite the word "1"ES,"~ because the question, siniplified, is "Shall saloonis BE PROHIBI7*'EDe" And the answer to that is "E. Those are the hurdles which, with or without' intent, were set up te' handi- cap *the forces of temperance and decency. Some of themn have already been overcome. The signatures were securet. The money aund nan-power have beeil provided. The remaining hurdle will confront the voters at the poils. WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE "iYESyy The saloon element is using thé old argument that license fees paid by saloons will reduce taxes. Experience bas shown this te be untrue. Those fees will be more than consumed in extra police protection and other additional costs. Soute persons say that te vote against saloons is te deprive citizens of the right te have liquor in their homes. This is alse untrue. It is net a "wet" or "dry" question, but exclusively one of whether saloons are te be permitted. in the village. Home consumption is in ne way involved., Others express a desire te make purchases from local merchants. But would this privilege conipensate for the nuisance of open saloons? Most of our leading inerchants have stated emphatically that they do net want te han4,ie beer or liquor. Stili others say that te prohibit saloons wvhen se many serve liquer in their homes is an act of hypocrisy which they could net appreve. But is it hypocrisy? President Harry P. Harrison of Kenilworth gives this convincing negative answer: i like nmeat, but 1 do net want a slaughter-house in my neighborhood." *I f yen have ariy idea of voting for saloons in this village, ponder this question senriously hefore yen vote:. "Hou' ,nttch ain I ilhiingto sacrilfice for the alle ged advantagesý of op'en saloonsf" If, you own property, yeu must bc willing te sacrifice a coilsiderable, portion of its value, just when values are starting upward. *You must be willing te lend your aid in despoiliîig the character and good naine of your village.
