STOP the WASTE.
That prohibition prohibits ID shown
by the fact that the federal govern
ment's income has been reduced this
year $2,OOO,OOO. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Peters says: The
revenues from whisky and alcoholic
beverages have shrunk considerably
over $2,0OO.O0O q year, and this un-
questionably is due to the spread of
the Temperance movement. and we are
preparing to see it continue to dimin-
ish from this cause"
The diminution to come will be be-
cause of nine states prohibiting liquor
in their borders, to take effect next
year. A new plan and system Of taxa
ton will be arranged and there are
many sources of revenue that can be
made instrumental for government re-
sources.
The history Of prohibition shows
that 1t SO lessons expenses that the
smaller revenue 10 amply sufficient.
Russia's minister Of finance testifies
that even In war times this is true,
and England's great expert. Joseph
Chamberlain. says on this subject: If
I could tomorrow destroy the desire
for strong drink in the people Of Eng
land and could prohibit its use and
manufacture, what changes We should
see. We should see taxes reduced by
millions sterling. We should see our
jails and workhouses empty. We
should see more lives saved in twelve
months than are consumed in a GEN.

prohibition almost in its infancy, al

shortage in revenue when the enor-
nous waste and drain of the liquor
