Hut adding tho break age and expenses to the sales WO have only $72,03.915, leaving an apparent de ficit of $2O,09O.O-l, Which can doubt 1< bo easily explained by the dispensary board. (?) In order to have a clear conception of the meaning of these llguros they may ho compared with other expenditures of government. It is n conservative as sumption to take tho i|unri'T of the year under consideration as a fair sam ple of tho year's operations. It i the busiest season of the farmers' year, with less money on hand for necessa ries, not to speak of luxuries. Thedis p try board seem to havo experienced this, for in tho June report it is an nounced thai prices were reduced in two of the dispensaries. The cost of operation, including wages to clerk:;, Rftlcsmon, bottlers, breakage etc., should amount for the year to $23, 500.32, n little sbort of the $25,000, for many years the salary of the president of the United States, and also of the county expenditures of Aikon, esti mated for l'.iiix at $20,435. The cost of the goods is more than three times as mticlt nH tho aggregate of all taxes. State and local, collected ill tho county, thai llguro for 1907 be ing giVOIl m $127,170.

The hoard reports the profits for the quarter as being $11,310.77, at the rate of $57,242.19 for the year. Of this sum $19,080.08 goes to the dispensary towns; $19,980.08 to swell thc3-inill tax for the Stock on Hand at Consumers' Expenses.

The saloon has boon banished from more than half of the national domain through local option and pro hibition enactments. The liquor traffic iias been w holly prohibited in six States and extensively cut short in thirty-four othms. In 1870 there were only 3,500, 000 persons living in dry territory; in 1900 the number was 18,350,000; in 1997 il was 33,000,000. However, tho fed eral reports show that in 188<l the con sumption of liquoi'S per head of tho population was I2.| gallons, while in 1900 the consumption had risen to 22.27 gallons a bead. For the vear ending .June 30, 1907, Ihoro was 11,499,252 gal lons of whiskey more consumed than in the preceding vear. HARRY HAMMOND.
