During the six months from

During the six months from
july /, 1912. to February /, 1913,
94.OOO.UOO gallons of whiskey
were consumed in the United
States. At the lowest estimate
the consumer pays an average oi
at least s. a gallon for this liquor,
which would make the total bill
for the six months covered about
$4,000, 900. or nearly Il billion
dollars a year. If beer, wines
and other liquors are included
the annual liquor bill runs to
something like two billion dollars
u year. or twice as mach as it
costs to conduct the national gov
ernment. extravagant as it is
We are prone to complain over
taxation, yet the liquor habit is
the greatest of all taxes upon
mankind. And it could be easily
wiped out, for If the manufacture
of fliquorw OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ly abolished, in five years the
traffic would be forgotten. and the
succeeding generation would only
wonder that it once held such
sway over civilized people.
