Show H GOVERNMENT TAX STAMPS. H The "Maverick" published one very mWM Impressive document the past week, H under the title. "Facts not told by ' prohlbltlonlatB." Well, now. Dear H Mr. "Percy", the only reason we have H not told those facts was because we B had not yet got around to It. The B' sheet referred to says there are In H tho following states, wholesale and re- Hj tall liquor dealers possessing govern- Hi ment tax1 stamps, as follows: (We i renroduco "it's" statement verbatim,) B "Kansas . . 1144 li "Mississippi 891 Jj "Utah 124G" H The population In each of the above H states Js as follows: H Kansas 1.G90.949 L Mississippi 1,797.114 H Utah 373,351 H Read the above comparison careful- H ly Utah with less than one-fourth. H; the population of either Kansas or H Mississippi, has more government II- H censes than either of them, H "Every dnig store, every patent med- Hi lclnu vendor, every meat market that H uses an alcoholic preparation for the H preservation of meats, must have a H government license, and in these pro- H1 hlbltlon states the "Maverick," edited H by "Percy" tells us that there Is less H than one government license to four H In Utah, in accordance -with the popu- H lation of the states. H We had intended to explain that H ourselves, but are pleased the "Maver- H Ick" beat us to iL H However, that neither our article oc H "Percy's" may be misunderstood, wc. Hl will recapitulate: fl Thoso holding government liquor H stamps In the following states are as H follows: H Utah, oue in each 300 population. H Kansas, one in each 1,478 popula- H H Mississippi, one in each 2,000 popu- H tlon. H These are compiled from tho "Mav- H crick" sheet, and we believe they are M correct, and they show clearly wheth- M cr or not prohibition prohibits in those M states. Thanks, "Percy." |
