THE GOOD EFFECTS Of the Moore Law Shown by Statistics on the Saloon Business. TOTAL ■'UMBER OF SALOONS Shows a Notable Falling Off as a Direct Result of the Workings of L p’*' This Be neficent Legislation. Something Concerning Activity of the Dominating Liquor Forces of the Democratic Party. (Special Correspondence.] Tnrtiannp< 'is hid-. ClcL__2<l.—lbs.. sr MI effects, "of the Moore law which v adopt* <1 during rhe legislature of 19 •>. are shown in a bulletin-compiled "+r —MWryHtß-iibhrtT state statistician-,-en th- saloon business.in Indiana. Mere thY.’i two-thirds Of the townships of.the state have no saloon, according to Miss Stiibbs. and the AntiSalobn Leaauo. Of the total of 1.016 Townships. . gnrriing to the ftgtires. .and 720 have none. The total number of saloons granted license during 1906 wa5;,5,253, as to 5.277 in 1905, showing a decrease of twenty-four. Tiiroo en~ tire 'counties were “dry 1- in Tf'ffi. ac-’ cording to Miss Stubbs —Brown, Lagrange and Pike. Whilethere was a decrease" In the number of saloon licenses issued in 1906, the revenue derived from such licenses increased. This was due to the increase in the cost of a city license. Each saloon pays a regular state license of SIOO, and a city license In addition. In some cities .licenses were placed at a higher figure in 1906. The amount derived from the liquor licenses, city and state, in 1906 was $1,415.9x6.5''. as compared with |1,369,‘ 718 Mn 1905." Wonderful Showing. These figures show the really wonderful strides made during the past eight years towards the restriction of the liquor traffic in Indiana. The Democratic members of the legislature and their party leaders have been a]m_QS_t_iinanimously opposed to the enactment of any laws looking to reasonable regulation of the liquor business. It is a well known fact that their party is controlled by liquor men, but in spite of them great progress has been made in enforcing the laws against the saloons. Liquor Forces Active. The activity of the dominating liquor forces of the Democratic party became, so marked that a secret conference of a number of good Democratic leaders was held here this week for the purpose of devising some plan to place the party on a respectable standing. They reckoned without their hosts, however, if they expected to keep their meeting quiet as the Sherlock Holmes henchmen of the present controlling factors found them out. Promises were made again by the Democratic bosses that the party will henceforth stand for law and order, but already it is apparent that it was all . bhiffTTonZTheir - part- -1 o their hold on the party machinery. Some Gang Rules.

It is evident now even to the novices in politics that there is no ground for belief that the Democratic machine will turn on its financial backers—the brewers and the liquor dealers. They are even now making their plans to nominate and elect district chairmen and a chairman of the state committee. They have a prospective candidate for state chairman who was one of the ringleaders of the brewer's lobby that defeated the high license bill during the recent session of the legislature. It is conceded by the Democratic leaders, who know about conditions that exist, that this liquor candidate will be elected chairman if he says the word. Under the existing conditions nothing can be expected from the Democrats in enforcing the liquor laws all through the state. Land Values Increased. In connection with the trouble in the Democratic ranks it is interesting to note the prosperity under Republican rule. The report shows that the valuation of farm property Increased greatly within the four years considered. In 1900 the average value an acre waa 1113.49, while in 1904 it was 1136.21 Interesting figures are given on the value of farm land and Improvements in the various counties of the state. Among the counties having the greatest wealth in farm land and improvements in 1904 are the following: Allen. 119,272,670; Benton, $15,767,120; Clinton, 214,113,920; Delaware, 212,285.720; .
