How much revenue does the gov
eminent obtain from the tax on in
toxicating liquors? If this were giyer
up, where would the money come
from? JOLIET
The government now obtains about
one third of it's income, or 1925, 900 ,00t
per year, from the taxes on distilled
and fermented liquors. If this bust
ness were suppressed, the loss OF
revenue would have to be made good
by some new form of taxation or by
the increase of old taxes. There is
also large local revenue derived
from licenses for the sale of liquors
bur the loss of this local revenue
would probably be more than offset
in time by the saving in police, court
and Jail expenses.
