WILL PREDICTION COME TRUE?
The Railway and Marine News
iuagaeine in its monthly issue of
.November, 1914, published before
the recent •lection in, the state
of Washington, has the folUowing
to say iu reference to Initiative
Measure So. 3, as it was designat
ed on the official ballot, which car
ried by an approximate majority of
15,000 votes, and is now therefore
a law, and will became effective,
some authorities affina ia 30 days
from date of its adoption, while
others are of the opinion that i*
will be the 1st of January, 1910,
fourteen month hence:
"Prohibition is a vital issue in
the campaign. In the past it has
teen regarded as an effort to pass
a law by a Jew sincere people who
have overlooked the practical side
o» the case. Their argument has
all been for the limited few who suf
fer from over indulgence in liquor
without a thonghj. to the financial
ruin and industrial stagnation that
woald come to'the stata Seattle
would be the first to suffer as it
is tie chief city, and it is tfiere- j
tore the city most interested. Here
are some facts carefully compiled to
khow what would result;
'"The passage of this so-called pro
hibition law would bring fin&ucial
disaster to this state, and to the
city of Seattle. This question is of
vital importance to every business'
man and property owner.
"The measure as proposed would |
confiscate every brewery in the state!
of Washington and destroy tax
able property to the value of more
than $17,000,000, destroy revenues
of $2,600,00o annually, destroy a
pay roll of more than $8,000,000 a
year, destroy a market for Washing
ton grown hops and barley o* more
than $3,000,000 a year, destroy a
trade that now brings to merchants
and farmers $12,000,000 each year,
destroy business rentals of more
than $5,000,000 annually, destroy
an export trade balance in fa\or of
the state of Washington of over
$2,000,000 a year, and would de
prive 3,300 men of employment, not
counting those engaged in the hop
and barley industry and the 15,000
persons who were employed last sea
son to pick the hop crop of Wash-'
ingtou.
it snouid be remembered uai
about one-third of this vast busi
ness is located in the city of Seat
tle and that the enactment of the
proposed law would make vacant
35o busiuass locations in the city
of Seattle alone.
"The ridiculous part of the pro
position is this; After destroying the
great brewing industry of the state,
wiping out tie revenue, taxes, pay
rolls and business to the extent of
548,600,000, the proposed law pro
vides that the same article which
is prohibited from being manufacture
ed in Washington can be shipped in I
from any other state or country.
"Section 15 of this so called pro
hibition law provides that each per
son of legal age in the state may
have 36 quartr of whiskey or 216
quarts of beer each year, but none
of it can be made in ""Washington
from Washington products, by
Washington labor.
"'The average per capita consump
tion of distilled spirits in thg United
States in 1912 was only 1.44 gal
Ions. (See Statistical Abstract of
L*. s., page 600.) Under Section 15
of the law proposed for Washing
ton, the legal consumption of whis
key could be B gallons for each per
son of voting age.
"The economic destruction that
would resul»t, without beneficial
results to temperance, from the
passage of Initiative Measure Xo. 3,
must appeal to every business man
and property owner. It should not
be called a prohibition bill, but a
bill to destroy the manufacturing
interests of Washington for the
benefit of other statss."
In view of the fact that the
measure is now a kxw, we are rath
>r curious as to how near the
Railway aud Marine News' predic
tions will come true.. While the
snforcement ot the law will ftt
first undoubtedly prove a sad blow
to Seattle's business prosperity, it
may work out, to that city's ultimate
civic advantage, although we must
confess to a good deal ot skepti
cism as to that desirablo end being
reached through a law that gives
Bvery promise of becoming a dead
letter ea far as the serving of the
5tula for which it was passed are
•oncerned. _

METHUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-Mine
years and wrote all his letlers as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty of time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving tipie but of killing time. ,
Hut we don't live so long nowadays and most of us have
gotten over the lYlethusaleh idea in the last thirty ;'ears. We
have found that the time saved and the labor suivJ by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is two or thru- times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the ut'-to-daie way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
' The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
^ Remington
JUNIOR
Typewriter
