Omaha Saloons and Prohibition

It is stated that although the $1,000 license fee in the city of Omaha, Neb., reduced the number of saloons to 250 there has been no diminution in drunkenness and crime. Omaha has a population of only 110,000, yet there were last year in that city 11,910 arrests. Surely Nebraska ought to wipe out the disgrace of such a record by adopting constitutional prohibition.
