TREASURY statistics show that in
the beer tax, the beer consumers
of the country are contributing
most heavily to the support of the
war. Beer consumers are on the
whole the poorer classes-not the
poorest, but the poorer; and it is
because they consume beer, that
beer is taxed. If they were not
beer consumers, a tax on beer
would yield but little revenue.
What, then, would the government
do if the poorer classes stopped
drinking beer? Would it tax the
rich? BY no means. That would
be confscation. If the poorer
class stopped drinking beer, tho
plutocratic advocates of beer taxes
would propose bread tax. That
is the way the poor are made to
bear public burdens in those coun-
tries of Europe whore the poor are
too poor to drink beer. Though
they can't afford beer, they must
either starve or eat bread; so their
pockets are reached by taxes on
bread. AS there are more ways
than one Of cooking an oyster, so
there are more ways than ono of
taxing the poor and letting the
rich escape.
