Dow law shown to raise revenues and curb temperance
The Dow law is praised as wisely considered and effective in temperance, reducing drunkenness and increasing state revenues. It closes many saloons, funds public improvements, and shifts taxes onto liquor sellers in towns like Batavia Williamsburg and Loveland, with several municipalities investing in fire departments parks and sewers.
