115,000 Balance In County
Ledger Under Prohibition
The report of Spokane County,
Washington, for the first four months
of 1916 is inspiring reading for one
who is interested in the question of
financing a city government without
the liquor revenue showing as it does
that it cost the county just $16,078
less to maintain the government of
fices during the first four months of
this year than it did for the corres
ponding period of last year. While
there was a general feeling among
the commissioners last year, at the
time the budget was made, that the
expenses of the office of prosecutor
might call for from $6,000 to $20,
000 additional for this year, the ex
pense for the last four months has
been about $600 less than the ex
pense for the same months of last
year. If the remainder of the year
keeps up to this record there will be
a neat balance instead of a deficit to
be taken care of by the appropria
tion of additional funds.
The most conspicuous savings in
the maintenance of the county gov
ernment, outside of the $6,000 de
crease in the expenses of the superior
court, are those connected with the
relief work of the county. What a
commentary on prohibition is the
fact that in a county containing a city
the size of Spokane, with only four
months of prohibition, the expenses
of the poor farm show a decrease of
$4,000, and the relief fund pearly
$3,000; the honor camp, $l,2a0; the
Jail, $812. Even lazy husbands seem
to be afTected by prohibition, as only
$7 expense is credited under this
heading, as compared with $136 a
year ago.
This Is a much better report than
the following from another city of
about the same size and which is fre
quently made by every city.
“A family of helpless children was
found In this city yesterday In a
starving condition, and so filthy that
their clothing, such as it was, had to
be burned before they could be put
to bed in a charitable refuge. It was
learned that their parents had been
on a prolonged spree,” says the PrcsH
Guardian of Paterson, N. J.
Certainly this is part of the reve
nue that society and the state re
ceives from the liquor traffic. Does
it pay? —Adv.

I was not president of the Mine Own

My term of office ended September
1st, 1907, when I resigned.
While I was president of the Mine
Owners’ Association it issued no such ord
ers, nor did it discriminate in any way |
against union labor. The operators belong
ing to the organization at that time were J
i paying $6.00 per day instead of $5.00, as 1
mentioned in the letter published by Mr.
Dooley.
