The Cost of the Liquor Traffic

By Lever

It may be true that millions of revenue may be raised from the liquor traffic, but what good does it accomplish? Every cent of it goes for whisky. If the tax were doubled or trebled it would in no case pay the drink bill. The whisky bill of the State is represented by the expense caused by the liquor traffic. It takes not only the tax on the traffic, but millions of revenue derived from other sources to pay it. Get rid of the traffic.—Lever.
