REASONS AGAINST LOCAL NO-LICENSE! LOCAL NO-LICENSE simply means REDUCTION. In Gisbonle the Bay of Plenty boundary runs to Mangapapa, a MILE OR SO from tho Borough. There could bo bear depots and spirit stores at Mangapapa. The Cis borne hotels would be CLOSED and Bay of Plenty enjoying FULL LICENSE. It ruins some hotelkeepers and enriches others. LOCAL NO-LIGENSE means increased drinking, because the people are compelled to buy their liquor WHOLESALE instead of RETAIL. In 1596, when No-license started, tho Drink Bill per head in New Zealand was £2 19s in 1908, when fi2 electorates carried No-license, the Drink Bill was £3 15s sid, an increase of OVER 25 PER CENT. LOCAL NO-LICENSE is bad for local BUSINESS. Bankruptcies in MASTERTQN MORE THAN DOUBLED AFTER No-license was carried. Business is STAGNANT, and tho population only increased by 110 in 5 YEARS. In ASHBURTON 101 bona-fide independent business men and shopkeepers have signed a manifesto declaring NO-LICENSE A FAILURE, and PLEDGING themselves to work for RESTORATION. LOCAL NO-LICENSE depreciates property values, and means empty shops and houses. In WAIHI the Anglican Vicar says: "NO-LIGENSE is INADEQUATE and DEFECTIVE,” as "LIQUOR simply comes in IN TRUCKLOADS.” Strike out the BOTTOM LINES on both Ballot Papers! THE ONLY SENSIBLE VOTE!
