He was disgusted that, when our enor­ mous drink bill was reported, no mention was made of the sub­ stantial revenue from liquor. Here it is. Canadian liquor bill for 1948 was $630,000,000. This includes Ontario’s liquor bill of $200,00'0,000. Revenue received in liquoi’ taxes by Federal and Provincial governments amount­ ed to $363,500,000. This includes Ontario’s $36,000,000 liquor tax revenue.

This takes no ac­ count of loss to industry, broken homes and highway accidents due to liquor. In the end the liquor traffic is a liability to everyone except the brewers, purveyors and stock holders. It is madness to suppose that a people can drink itself into prosperity. —Advt.
