HAPPY QUEBEC.
LIQUOR REVENUE LIGHTENS TAXATION. In an article on business Conditions in Canada, the Ottawa correspondent of “The Economist” writes: “The burden of local taxation is proving very oppressive, and all the provincial treasurers, save one, find their abilities strained to raise the funds necessary for current administration. The Treasurer of Quebec is in the happy position of being able to record a most substantial surplus which is largely due to the very large profits of the Government’s liquor, system. The extent* arouses the wrath of the ‘temperance party,’ but is the envy of all other provincial treasurers.” When liquor revenue goes, the Treasury shoe pinches. Lost revenue must lie made up by taxing other tilings, necessities among them. Vote eontiipianee and lighten compulsory taxation! 192
