COST OF THE DRINK TRAFFIC.
Some Startling Figures Given Re9ar'
Ing Expense Of Liquor Business
to People Of the Nation.

The Union Signal, official organ OF
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union. gives some startling
figures regarding the cost of the liquor
traffic to the nation and points out the
need Of wiser financiering. 1t has
this to say concerning the revenue
argument:
The federal government collects
some $4,000 600 a year from the
liquor business. This includes special
taxes paid by brewers, distillers and
dealers. The estimated amount re-
ceived by state, county and municipal
governments in license and tax 10
about SIS, 900 900. Thus the total in.
ternal revenue from the trafhc 10
something less than $3.50. 200, 900. The
average legislator and many a good
citizen is honestly of the opinion that
these liquor millions are needed to
help meet the enormous expenses OF
government. They sincerely deplore
the liquor evil and would gladly see 1t
abolished we're it not for the delusion
that there is financial profit In licens-
ing the same. They see the money
pouring into the nations Golfers, see
the amount placed in the credit col
umn of the ledger, and go heir way
without stopping to consider the debit
side of the account.
Government officials and the voting
public generally win some time b
convinced that it is very poor imam
ciering to foster an industry which
makes so many people nop-producers.
results in the degeneration OF FAM
lilies, and throws an army of incapables
upon the state and upon charity or
CARNATIONS. But they will have to be
shown" 1t behooves US as prohibit
tionists and as public sentiment max
ers to show them that the cost of the
drink traffic to the United States ap-
proximates annually $4,000. 900, 900 In
loss of products, mortality and in
crime and pauperism." Five billion
dollars as against three hundred and
fifty million-a balance of s4.650, 000,.
900 on the debit page! 1t requires
more than thirteen times the amount
of revenue received from the traffic
to take care of its consequences. The
figures are astounding. but they are.
we are assured by Prof. John A. Mich
oils in his Economic Studies Of the
Liquor Problem" the result OF care
full and conservative investigation
made by expert statisticians
We must show further that aboli-
ton OF the liquor business does not
mean abolition of the money it repre-
sents; that under nationwide prohf
bition the same $3.50, 600. 900 will stin
be in circulation, still available for
government needs; and that there are
better and wiser ways of collecting
it from the people than through sa-
~loonkeepers and brewers and distillsrs.
The new income tax amendment to
the federal constitution provides one
way. Other ways and means Will
quickly be devised as the brains OF
voters, lawmakers and government
lnanciers become more and more free
from the benumbing and b%efogging in
fuence OF alcohol.
