Anticipating that prohibition
would have some effect on real
estate values the Oklahoma City
Real Estate Exchange recently
sent a committee to Kansas City,
Kansas, to report on the effect
on real estate values following
the enforcemant of prohibition in
that city. The committee have
returned and made their report
to the Club on last Thursday
night. About 75 members of
the exchange were present, and
the report of the committee
created a good deal of enthusiasui.
President Hess said: "The com-
mittee has conducted a most
rigorous investigation and I now
confidently expect to see real es-
in Oklahoma City in-
ful for any person to wound, kill,
ejhsare, or trap in any manner

The members of the special
committee were enthusiastic con
corning the effects of prohibition
upon values of land and express
ed themselves as thoroughly con-
vinced of the wisdom of Oklaho-
ma's voters.
"We talked with men in Kan
sas City," said J. H. Johnston, a
member of the committee, "who
were an ti prohibitionists whfcn
the movement was proposed in
that city, and with almostone ac
public road or high way, j cord they were changed in their

"Of course, we met a few men
who stated that their business
I had been hurt by prohibition,
i but I think that the statements

one hundred dollars, or not less
than ten nor more than thirty
days in jail, at the discretion of

A Successful S. S. Convention.
The Dover annual county Sun-
day schoooi convention opened
at 10:3D, Sept. 24, with Field
Secretary Knight, and Mrs.
Marten, state superintendent of
the Home Department present.
County officers present, were:
President, Vice Pr< sident, Sec-
retary, House Visitation Super-
intendent and Temperance Sup
erin lendent.
The first forenoon was taken
up with secretary's report and
other reports and the afternoon
was given to the school children
of the town.
There were present, 05 dele
gati s from all parts of the county.
Addresses were given by Smith
ol E Ii'-no, Saunders of Kingtish
er, Wolf and CJftie of Hennessey,
and the field secretary gave two
splendid lessons on teacher
training. The -( losing story of
Mrs. Marten was inspiring. The
same officers were re elected by
the convention for one year. The
and in detaull of pftymeet there- j n,JX'1 minimi convention will be

President
P S. There will be a township
convention at Pirk church in
Park township Oct, 2. Also one

^ shall be jiaid by the justice of
the peace to the (lame Warden
of the Territory, and one half to
the county game warden of the
county in which such prosecution
'' >ia had, ahd for each prosecution at [Sheridan Oct. l.'j;
of these men are the strongest
arguments we have for a strict
enforcement of the law.
"One more thing which we
noticed was the absence of im
moral resorts. There weresome,
it is true, but they were segre-
gated and down in the river
bottoms."
The report of the committee
submitted to the Real Estate ex
change last night is as follows:
"In accordance with your in-
structions we visited Kansas
City, Kails,, on Saturday, Sept.
14th, for the purpose of making
a thorough investigation into the
comparative business situation
in that city before and after the
strict enforcomentof the prohibi-
tory liquor laws, and have the
honor to report as follows:
"Immediately upon reaching
Kansas City we secured a court
stenographer and took him with
us on our round of investigations
with tho result that we are able
to attach hereto for the benefit of
those who care to peruse the re-
port a complete statement from
a large number of the parties in
terviewed. Kully four fifths of
the business men with whom we
talked stated unqualifiedly that
general business conditions had
in no way been injured by the
enforcement of the law and
many of them were emphatic in
their statements that conditions
had practically been hotteied
and a great many of the gentle
men making these statements
wore formerly opposed to the
idea of prohibition in any form
Many of ihtt gentlemen making
such reports were not prohibi
l.ionisl.s originally, nor have they
changed their attitude in regard
to the principles of prohibition,
but they said that they hid to llllllllllllllHIIH1HIIIIIIIIIHIIIIHIimillllHtll|||||||HHIIIHIIIlll|IIIIUIIHIIimif
admit that from a real estate and ~~
general prosperity stand (mint
they certainly were agreeably
disappointed in tho outcome in
Kansas City, Kansas.
"The attached report shows
that Kansas City, Kansas, has
gone right ahead in house build-
ing and other dcvelopoments and
not only have the old banks larg '
er de|H>sits but one new bank ,
has been added in the last year j
and that the city is in every way
keeping up with the general
prosperity of the rest of the!
country.
"Therefore your committee j
states without reservation, as
based upon the preponderance
of the evidence secured, that Ok
lahoma City has nothing at all to
fear from a business standpoint
on account of the coming of state
wide prohibition.
"Respectfully,
"L. E. pattb.kson,
Chairman.
This is a statement from prac
tical men who, if any difference,
are as a rule opjxised to
Prohibition. Their statements
are worth considering and cer-
tainly will go far.toward confirm
ing in their views people already
in favor of prohibition,
The Prohibition Portion of the
Constitution.
The manufacture, sale, barter,
giving away, or otherwise for
nishing, except as hereinafter
provided, of intoxicating liquors
within this Stale, or any part
thereof, is prohibited for a period
of twenty one yeais from the
date of the admission of this
State into the Union, and there-
after until the people of the State
shall other wise provide by amend-
ment of this Constitution and
proper state legislation. Any
person, individual or corporate,
who shall manufacture, sell,
barter, give away, or otherwise
furnish any intoxicating liquor
of any kind, including beer, ale,
and wine, contrary to the pro
vis'ons of this section, or who
shall, within this State, advertise
for sale or solicit the purchase of
any such liquors, or who shall
ship or in any way convey such
liquors from one place within
this Stale to another place there
in, except the conveyance of a
lawful purchase as herein autli
orized, shall be punished, on
conviction thereof, by tine not
less than fifty dollars and by im
prisoninent not less than thirty
days for each offense: Provided,
That the Legislature may provide
by law for one agency under the
supervision of the State in each
incorporated town of not less
than two thousand population in
the State; and if there be no
corporated town of two thousand
population in any county in this
State, such county shall be en-
titled to have one sueli agency,
for the sale of such liquors for
medicinal purposes; and for the
sale, for industrial purposes, of
alcohol which shall have been de-
nalurized by some process ap
proved by the United States
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue; and for the sale of alcohol
for scientific purposes to such
scientific institutions, universi-
ties, and colleges as are author
iz.'d to procure the same free of
tax under the laws of the United
States; and for the sale of such

shall have executed an approved
bond, in a sum not less ti.an one
thousand dollars, conditioned
that none of such liquors shall
be used or disposed of for any
purpose other than in the com
pounding of prescriptions or
other medicines, the sale of
which would not subject him to
the payment of the special tax
required of liquor dealers by the
UnitedStat.es. and the payment
of such special tax by any person
within the State shall constitute
prima facie evidence of his intc
tion to violate the provisions of
this section. No sale shall be
made except upon the sworn
statement of the applicant in
writing setting forth the pu rposo
for which the liquor is to be used,
and no sale shall be made for

who shall knowingly make a fabe
affidavit for the purpose afore-
said shall be deemed guilty of
perjury. Any physician who
shall prescribe any such liquor,
except for treatment of disease
which after his own personal
diagnosis he shall for each offense
by fine of not less than two hun-
dred or by imprisonment for not
less than thirty days, or by both

any person connected with any
such agency who shall be con-
victed of making any sale or
other disposition of liquor con-
trary to these provisions shall be
punished by imprisonment for

state into the Union these pro-
visions shall be immediately en-
forceable in the courts of the
State.
