Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Northern Crown The Anti-Saloon League is asking you to drop the pilot. It is asking you to dispense with the system of license and regulation under which California has grown and prospered, and to substitute therefor the always unsuccessful experiment of prohibition. Maine dropped the pilot sixty years ago and the name of its largest city has become a byword for drunkenness. Kansas dropped the pilot with the result that Kansas has become the freak state, where fanatical legislation and unspeakable dives thrive - with equal luxuriance. Tennessee dropped the pilot and Memphis, its principal city, leads the United States in homicides. West Virginia fell into the power of the Anti-Saloon League and dropped the pilot with the result that its property owners are now paying the highest tax rate in the history of the state. Our neighbor, Oregon, dropped the pilot and at the same time dropped her share of the prosperity which has visited the rest of the Pacific Coast. During the first four months of prohibition in Oregon the Bank clearings showed a decrease in comparison for the same period in 1915. During the same period California clearings showed an increase of 19.3 per cent. Every state that has dropped the pilot has suffered for it suffered in decreased revenues, decreased prosperity, an increase in the disrespect for and evasion of laws - and in most cases an increase in the intemperate use of strong drink.
