RAISES LIQUOR TAX.

In its effort to solve the liquor
problem the British government has
evidently decided to try the plan of
killing two birds with one stone. In
stead of adopting nationwide pro-
hibition, as there has been some talk
of doing the. announcement has been
made that the government feels it
would not be justified in attempting
this experiment until it has tried ev-
erything else. 1t therefore has caused
the introduction in the house of COM
mons of a bill to largely increase the
excise taxes on Intoxicating liquors.
On so-called spirits the tax is to be
exactly doubled, an increase from
$3.75 to $3.50 per gallon. On wines
the tax is to be increased about four
times, to s4.4s per gallon. For beers
and other drinks of the same class a
graduated surtax is provided, rising to
50 per barrel for those which contain
more than seven per cent of proof
spirits. Also it is proposed that in
areas producing war materials, or in

which transport work is performed,
also surrounding military camps, the
government is to have complete con-
troll of the liquor trade.
According to an official estimate
this increase in liquor taxes will add
more than $15,OOO,OOO to the annual
government revenues, which is one of
the birds" the government is aiming
at. The government needs the money,
of course, as the financial drain of the
war is terribly burdensome, and the
chance to increase the national in
come by adding to the liquor taxes is
evidently regarded as an opportunity
not to be overlooked On the other
hand, it apparently is hoped that good
results will follow the increased taxa
ton, which obviously will have ten
dency to check indulgence in strong
drink. through motives of economy.
In other words, drinks will cost more,
therefore the people will be compelled
to cut down their drinks, which at
least Will be a step toward more tenn |
perate habits on the part of the peo-
pie. Moreover, the latter will not
have chance to complain that the
government has entirely deprived |
them of their accustomed drinks.
which is still another angle to be taxi
en- into consideration.

accuracy of facts that may be submit
that may be made. They will not per-
nit the democrats to dodge any issues
by making vague references to fiat
frying" Explanations of violation of
campaign pledges will be read with
more interest. Why the democratic
of economy is a question the American
people desire to see answered. They
would like to know what excuse, if
any, can be given for destruction of
the policy adopted by republicans of
building up a strong diplomatic SER
favoritism and on a standard that
commended the respect of all the lead
ing nations of the world. And, most
of all, the American people will want
from the democratic administration a
discussion of the eyects of
the democratic tariff law which
wrought havoc with American indus
try until the European war served as
n bar to foreign importations and af-
forded American industry protection
