and distress, murder, suicide, burglasy, rape, and every sin known to the anuals of crime, trying to point out to the people of Indiana that prohibition is an evil entailing cjunile s woes to the people. As one man who read one of the bills said: “If we have arrived at a point where we have to go to rack and ruin if we don’t return to the saloons we h. d better go and the sooner the bstter. ’ Two paragraphs of the bill leads: “The continued growth of prohibition and the destruction of tbe brewing and distilling industries will result in the farmer and the allied trades in all lines of manufacture being made to suffer greai losses through the destroyed markets for their preducts. ■ “Every farmer, every woikingm n and every manufacturer in ihe Uni ed States should now assert bis lights and use every effort to suppress this growing evii of prohibition, w-i.h is Jeapordizing the livelihood of upward of six millions of people and threatens to precipitate the greatest finnancial crisis this country has ever known."
