NOT A PRODUCER OF REVENUE
Intoxicating Liquor Is Not Necessity
Nor Luxury-Fountaln of Vice
Should BE Suppressed.

(By ATTORNEY GENERAL DAWSON
Of Kansas)
Our ideas of equity acquiesce read
lily in the doctrine that Injuries should
bear a heavier rate of taxation than
necessities. But intoxicating liquor is
neither luxury nor a necessity. It
is a vice and the fountain of vice, and
we have no moral right to depend
upon vice as source of revenue.
Luxuries are to be taxed; vice is to
be suppressed. Furthermore, it can
be shown from a myriad of proofs
that the license system is not reve-
nue. producer; it is not even what it
pretends to be. In cities where the
prohibitory law has been enforced and
the revenue licenses or license fines
shut off, the inciAents of the liquor
business - court costs, paupers, de-
pendent and neglected children, and
kindred public expenses, shrink also,
so that the loss Of the license revenue
does not affect the ordinary taxpayer

The PHILIPPINES.

One of the pleasant duties of Mr..
Wilson's administration will be to in
vestigate conditions in the Philippines.
The Philippines have cost this coun-
try $3.50, 100000 in money alone. That
is a rock bottom estimate. Their pres
ent cost per year cannot be told; but
it is high. Twenty-Five regiments are
kept in the islands almost all the
time; so that the cost for military
control alone is enormous.
In addition to money, our adventure
in foreign empire has cost 10000
lives. 1t has put about 1000 American
soldiers in asylums, incurably insane
from disease caught during service
in the islands. 1t has gained us the
hatred of several millions of Filipinos
who are simple minded enough to take
the declaration Of independence seri-
ously, and believe the consent Of the
governed vital factor in good gov
eminent
incidentally, our government of the
Philippines is costing the Filipinos
something, as well as ourselves. 1t
took the entire circulating medium in
the islands to pay the taxes in 1911.
