Has Prohibition Increased Taxes?
“Back in 1914, the federal income
from liquor taxes totaled 245 mil
lion dollars. A huge sum. Indeed, to
cut off lightly! State and local gov
ernments received another 80 mil
lion dollars yearly from the liquor
trade. Was adequate thought given
to this phase of prohibition before
the 18th amendment was adopted?
How has prohibition affected gov
ernment income and taxes? What
has been the effect on the individual
tax payer? Let’s get down to funda
mentals in answering these ques
tions. Who paid those huge liquor
taxes In the days before prohibition?
True, the liquor interests wrote the
checks. But who gave the money
that made those checks good?—
There can be only one answer. In
the final analysis the individual
drinker paid every penny of the
liquor taxes. It is always that way
with indirect taxation. Producer and
distributor each gets a price that
takes care of the taxes without cut
ting into profits. Nothing wrong
about that. It is just good business.
Now consider this: The cost of run
ning our government is nearly four
times' as great today as it was in
1914. There are three very good
reasons for that. First, we have been
through the greatest war of all time
and are still paying the bill. Second:
our population is 25 per cent larger
than in 1914. Third: a dollar buys
less in both wages and commodities,
so that it takes more dollars to ac
complish the same result. Yet we
hear no talk of Federal Insolvency.
Our financial condition, in fact, has
grown steadily better. We have be
come the richest nation in the world.
Where is the tax money coming
from? Ultimately it is coming, as al
H
ways, from the individual taxpayer,
but he is paying It In different ways.
He pays more In direct taxes, lie
pays taxes on his motor car, theatre
tickets and other things. But what
about prohibition enforcement? Who
pays for that?
The answer is simple. Enforce
ment pays for itself. Here are figures
for the first nine years of prohibi
tion—as supplied by Dr. J. M. Doran
United States Commissioner of Pro
hibition: Toal cost of enforcement,
$213,179.485; total collections from
fines aud penalties and revenue from
taxes on lawful spirits and ferment
ed revenue from taxes on lawful
spirits and f-rmented liquors,$460,-
502,792.76. Net balance, $247,323,-
307.76—a tidy sum indeed.
It would be too bad for America
if she were forced to condone and
encourage vice because of the tax
money they would bring. No well-
intentioned person would, for a
moment have our government legal
ize interstate while slavery or traf-

FATE OF MISSINO U-BOAT
UNSOLVED PAST WAR MYSTERY
Of the many unsolved mysteries
of the war, one of the most baffling
concerns the fact of some 28 Ger
man U-Boats, according to George
O'Brien, Fox movietone featured
player, a former naval officer him
self, and the leading man in "The
Sea Beneath.” the first talkie of sub
marine warfare, that comes to the
Oasis theatre Friday and Saturday.
"After the war," O'Brien says,
"the British naval experts checked
their records of submarine sinkings
with (he German figures, and many
interesting facts developed. The Ger
man lost 203 of their U-boats, in
cluding seven interned in various
neutral ports, and 14 that were
blown up by their officers when the
Flanders submarine bases were
evacuated.
"Of the other 182, 59 were sunk
by gunfire from Allied «Warships.
Allied mine-fields accounted for 43
of the German subs, and 18 more
were sunk by being rammed by Al
lied ships. The Allies' own submar
ines accounted officially for 17 mors
and the 'mystery ships,’ or ‘Q-ships,’
are known to have destroyed 11 U-
boats. Allied aircraft sank 6 more
by aerial bombing, but 28 others
are still unaccounted for, and neith
er the German nor the Allied rec
ords contain any clue to their fate.”
