Face the Facts.

Why shall Congress levy special tax
on liquor in time of peace and finan-
cial prosperity? Why select business,
good or evil. and levy special tax on
that business and beyond Governments
need True. the manufacture and
saloon sale of liquor as beverage is
bad, but Government tax does not make
it better. 1t is not police regulation
by the Government, but tax levy for
Government use. Congress is not q
temperance society--at least not we'll
known as such. No temperance organ
izatiOn asks Congress to continue this
war tax. Would not the Government
be in better shape if free from this in
terest in the liquor business? Why
should the manufacture OF ALCOHOL
used largely for mechanical purposes,
be made more costly by special tax.
and the trades be compelled to pay exc
ira tribute to Caesar. This special. I'M
necessary tax is wrong and in the in
terest of monopoly and against small
capital, but has been suffered. and
little thought given it, because it was
upon hurtful things-liGuor and to-
bacco. We have no word of favor for
either, but would give even the devil
his due, and not levy special tax ON
him because he is the devil; for saloon
like, he will just turn round and collect
it back with usury off his subjects
