' “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 Bagwell’s Business College and School of Shorthand.
