How About That Lottery?
It Gets EN- Coming, Going
By DAMON RUNYON

CERTAIN betty influences are
~ going to work on Congress
shortly in the interest Of ma
tional lottery. These influences
willargue that lottery would
raise plenty of war revenue, and
so it would. The amount would
depend largely on the setup.
our readers will recall that
the subject Of lottery, national
or otherwise, has been the sub
ieCt Of considerable discussion
in this column. our idea used
10 be that it was no good from
a moral or economic standpoint.
but we can see now where II
would be sound business in
veStment for the government.
In the first place, the govern
mcnt would necessarily profit
from the losers. The money q
customer paid for non-winning
ticket would naturally 90 into
the till. Of the operator.
In the second place, the gov
crnment would gain from tho
winners. Every packet Of
bccSom would be subject to a
nice fat tax. Tho bigger the
packet the bigger the tax Thus
the government would get the
lottery players coming and going.
1T MIGHT be suggested that
there is the danger that
some citizens might become
such confirmed players that
they would put all their money
into lottery tickets and have
nothing left with which 10 pay
their normal income tax, not 10
mention the grocer.
However. since II appears
that income taxes may be with
held N the source. VIC suppose
the government will be pro-
tccted from that danger The
grocer will have 10 look out for
himself.
We cannot see where there
would be any logic IN opposition

that logalize betting on horse
races, which is pretty much of
a lottery in itself On the other
hand, states that deny the gee
