“PHASES OF THE LIQUOR QUESTION.’’
By David A. Gates, in Watson’s Magazine for June.
The above article is a calm, dispassionate discussion of the selling of li
quor, the revenue accruing therefrom to the United States Government, the
status of the dispensary in the Southern States and the progress of national
and state prohibition with a careful review of the liquor selling conditions in
every state in the Union. The article is a carefully prepared one and its sta
tistic? as well as its deductions are worthy of earnest attention. The follow
ing selections will prove of general interest and win our hearty endorse
ment :
Report of Internal Revenue Commissioner.
The annual report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue shows that,
for the year ending June 30, 1905, 241,239 retail liquor and 14,976 retail malt
liquor dealers’ stamps were issued in the United States (including Alaska),
total, 256,215 stamps. On a basis of an estimated population of 85,568,759 in
continental United States, a special retail liquor dealer’s stamp was issued
for every 345 persons.
Nevada heads the list with a special taxpayer for every 49 inhabitants
and Mississippi is the last with a dealer in liquor for every 3,240 persons.
Nevada has somethng like 66 times as many liquor sellers as Mississippi.
The Dispensary.
Another interesting feature of the whisky question is the establish
ment of an institution that is peculiar to the South—the dispensary. The
dispensary has passed the experimental stage, and it is now possible to pass
judgment upon it. From an economic standpoint, it can be stated as a fact
that the dispensary is a success. If the affairs of the dispensary are admin
istered honestly, and the county or municipality gets the profits of the busi
ness, these profits amount to more than what saloons would yield in licenses.
The expenses of the county are often paid by the dispensary and no county
tax is levied. In Terrell county, Ga., no county tax has been levied for four
years.
Viewed from a moral standpoint, however, it is doubtful if the dispen
sary is an improvement over the saloon. It is as easy for a man to get enough
whiskey to kill himself in a dispensary town as it is in a town full of saloons
ihe only advantage being, that bought from a dispensary the whiskey does not
come so high and the cost of killing is not so dear. The chances are that
a larger estate will be left to the widow and orphans where the dispensary
does the job. Probably the only argument t l iat can be urge! for the dispen
sary is that it abolishes to a large extent social drinking and has none of the
attractions of the saloon. The dispensary takes the business that comes its
way; the saloon goes out after business.
Temperance Situation in the United States.
A pertinent inquiry would be: What is the situation in the matter of
temperance? Are the people of the Unted States more or less temperate than
formerly? In 1892, domestic distilled spirits withdrawn from government
warehouses for consumption aggregated 97,148,447 gallons. The population
was then 65,000,000 persons. The average annual per capita consumption of
domestic distilled spirits then was 1.49 gallons, or, 149 gallons for every 100
persons. Last year 85,000,000 people consumed 116,808,974 gallons of the
same class of spirits, an average of 1.38 gallons to the person, or 138 gallons
