WADSWORTH FOR WILL OF PEOPLE IN LIQUOR CONTRO ator Says We Have Gained Nothing With Bootlegger. y the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—The pres- ent “attempt to force total absti- nence on all our people” should be replaced by “skillful control sup- ported by the public,” was the opinion expressed by United States Senator James W. Wadsworth Jr. in opening‘ his campaign for re- election. Temperance is' what the people want, not prohibition, he said last night in an address before’ the newly organized “Republican Busi- ness Men, Inc.” “We cannot achieve ‘tt with In- temperate measures,’ he _ added. “and we don't want the old-time saloon.

If annexed by Nameoki it would be required to yield up annually a large sum in municipal taxes to the Village Board. While the coke company esti- mates. its plant to be worth $13,- 000,000 it. pays taxes on a valua- , tion of only $275,715. The munici- pal tax rate of Nameoki is $1.33 on the $100 valuation. At the pres- ent valuation of the. .coke plant Ndmeoki would draw from it $3367 yearly in taxes. However, if a higher valuation is placed on the plant as it develops, the revenues ensuing to Nameoki would corre- spondingly increase. The cqke company doubtless would prefer to join Nameoki if it has to join a city, rather than Granite City, where the tax rate is $3.42 on the $100 valuation. At resent the total municipal revenue of Nameoki is $5000 a year. The total assessed valuation of property in Nameoki is $295,- 000. Thus, if the town gets the coke plant and surrounding terri- tory it will have doubled its as- sessed property valuation and al- most doubled its income. Nameokl, its citizens think,, is on a boom. Contracts have been stgned with the Illinois Power & Light Co. and the East St. Louis & Interurban ‘Water Co. to supply gas and water to the town. The first reaction to the annex- ation project has come from Gr@an- ite Cily, where members of the Chamber of Commerce have called ‘an indignation meeting for tonight. Gran'te City has made several of- fers to the coke plant officials with a view of annexing it as a part of that town. The coke company management has politely refused these overtures, preferring to stay a few blocks from the _ eagtern boundary of Granite City, where ithere are no municipal taxes. Now the boosters of Gran‘te City are \seeing its neighboring rival, Name- loki, attempt to force annexation lof the plant and surrounding ter- ritory to itself.

The board says It has the pe- titions of more than 100 residents of Community Heights and Rohm Gardens. asking to be annexed. As for the coke plant, its voting power is weak, because most of its of- ficers and employes live outside at the election. While the company officials view the situstion with alarm, not to say anger, they do not see what can be done. In Granite City. there ts a con- certed move to block the Nameoki annexation scheme.
