A HEAVY BILL
The following facts from l he finan-
cial lire of the 'United States may in-
terest those who ate trying to
determine heNV they should vote ou
Local Option. Figures indicate what
an enormous toll the liquor business
is collecting from the Nation when
the amount spent for liquor is shown
in contrast. with other items of ex-
penditure. The annual expenditure
for liquor is $1,833,653,420.00.
The following items do not equal
this appalling amount :—
Returns from Post Office $287648926 00
" Onstonas 314497071 00
Value of.coalmines 554902000 00
Oost of Army and Navy 280078620 00
Oost of Panama Canal 400000000 00
$1,787,121,617 00
By 856,531,808.00 less than the a-
01011111 1)11105 for liquor.
Add to this Liquor Bill the direct
and indirect financial loss resulting
from orime, disease, poverty, idletiess,
etc., and five billions of dollars will
look almost small beside the stupend-
ous Liquor Budget.
The facts may more easily grip you
in the following form
13 days of liquor b11010088 exceecle
value of the Fisheries, $67,898,859.00.
25 days of liquor business exceeds
value of gold and silver mined

48 days of liquor business exceeds'
returns of Post Office, $287,648,926.00.
56 days of liquor business exceeds
Cost of Army and Navy 5280,073,680.00.
62 days of liquor business exceeds
Customs Returns, 5314,449,071.00.
81 days liquor business exoeeds cost
of Panama Oanal $800,000,000.00.

And what also of the tremencluous
moral issue involved ?

children sort 2 adults in the past three
weeks and he says still there are more
