A BUSINESS
PROPOSITION
<iev CMpp* of Kansas a printer
und publisher compares conditions
in the old "wet” days with the pres
ent. Extrac' Lorn speech at. Lincoln.
Neb., on August 6, 1916:
% ,
When 1 first went to Topeka there
were 60 or 60 saloons. The jails were
filled most of the time. The Dally
Capital rarely hud enough men to do
its work the day after pay day. In
deed I got my first Job on the Capi
tal because too many of the printers
were absent and the foreman was
willing to take anyone. It was a'
wide-open town. Even up to 16 or
20 years ago I believo a majority of
the leading business men favored
high license under the impression
that saloons were needed If the town
was to be a live place, and especially
for the revenue they contributed. But
ultimately, through a period of ob
servation, of education, these busi
ness men learned that they might as
wisely license morphine or cocaine.
They discovered that their fears
about revenues were groundless and
that the town lived and prospered
amazingly under the rule of decency.
% When I went to Topeka the men In
my trade never hud anything except
trouble and unpaid bills and head
aches. Now, the majority of the
printers own their homes, many have
motor cars; they have their vaca
tions now, with their families; they
uio good citizens. Not two weeks
ago a printer in the Dally Capital
plant received a check for $10,00o
f:om the Aetna Building & Loan So
ciety representing his savings and
interest. In the same plant, of which
1 am the owner, we have a savings
society with more than a hundred
members, which includes printers,
pressmen and stereotypers, all of
whom cave a certain part of their
wages f-vc.-j week. The number of
arrests in Topeka for drunkenness
has constantly decreased, though our
population it steudlly Increasing.
As a strictly business proposition
prohibition has paid big dividends in
Kansas. Its strongest advocates in
the state are the large employers of
labor, the managers of the big rall
roud properties, and tl. i labor organ
izulinns. I'cro than 4,000 men are
employed in the Santa Fe railway
shops at T upeka -the driest city of
Us size in the world. Those shops
maintain tho highest degree of elfl
. cicncy of any on the Santa F • i yc
