The Saloon and Taxation

An old farmer I once knew had a
fine yoke of oxen. He resolved to
fatten them and began to stuff them
with corn and hay. He kept them
several years before he could get his
price. but finally sold them for
$4,000. He boosted loudly of the
great price he had received until his
neighbors reminded him that he had
fed them $4,000 worth OF corn, be-
sides sill the hay. That 1915. 90
looked so. big to him that he never
thought how much it had cost him.
So it is with the liquor license mon
ey. We see six or seven hundred
dollars paid into the city or county
treasury and it looks good to us. un-
til we figure out what It has cost and
where it has come from.
The liquor interests have carried a
great many local option elections by
the argument that the cutting off of
saloon license revenue would necessl
tate an increase in the tax rate.
Facts and figures from the increasing
number of prohibition areas will room
do away with that saloon weapon. In
Ohio. for example, the statistics by
counties. show that the tax rate uni
formly goes down IS the number of
saloons decreases. In Indiana, while
most of the dry counties have not
been free from saloons long enough
to present fair statistics, the showing
thus far is the same, in the main. as
in Ohio-fewer saloons, lower taxes.
