We call your attention to an
article on the first page in which
Reverend Clarence T. Wilson of
Portland gives his estimate of
the cost to the pe »pie of Port«
land's -U17 saloons, His estimate
of the cost to the people of
$3.146.400 is probably, in fact,
very moderate. The income from
saloon licenses issued annually
amounts to $323.408. while the
police department is maintained
at a cost of $150,350. leaving a
balance of $173,058. Now com
pare this with the $3,146.400 ex
pended for liquor, much ot which
goes to outside producers and
which if invested by the people
in necessities or improvements
would be a permanent source of
wealth, increasing annually, and
if taxed at the ordinary rate
would soon produce far more
than the income from licenses.
And what does the consumer
get? A swelled head, broken
health, poverty, rags, a stricken
home. etc.
