that the German admiralty may really

That prohibition prohibits is shown

 nent's income has been reduced this

 z, inc Treasury Peters says: "The
 avenues from whisky and alcoholic
 haverages have shrunk considerably
 over s2O000 000 year, and this un- ouestionably is due to the spread of the temperance movement, and we are nrenaring 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 tion 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 it so lessens expenses that the smaller revenue is amply sufficient. Russias 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 warehouses empty. We should see more lives saved in twelve months than are consumed in a cen tury of bitter savage warfare" Yet men still ask what will happen to the revenues of the country if liquor is abolished Experience. with prohibition almost in Its infancy, al- ready shows that there will be no shortage in revenue when the enor- nous waste and drain of the liquor traffic Is once stopped.
