The Million a Year Revenue received from drink is more than outweighed by the heavy burden of taxation, the reduced national efficiency and the moral wreckage it causes. Money spent on drink is a direct loss—it The Liquor Trade practically says:—"Give is an expenditure for which no tangible me £5,000,000 a year and I'll give you asset remains. The same amount spent £1,000,000 back to help pay your taxon public works would provide permanent ation!" assets and valuable adjuncts to the develop- , . , , . ... _ „., ' ment of the Dominion.

This would still leave free for investment within the Dominion the remaining one-third of the present Drink Bill, while a probable annual saving of at least £750,000 would be effected-in the proportionately reduced charges for Prisons, Hospitals, etc. The total amount of liquor revenue, plus the £225,000 required to provide interest and sinking fund on the proposed amount of compensation to "The Trade" can thus easily be made up from legitimate trade channels. .>,,, Drive drink from the Dominion and you increase the efficiency of tin people. This is the positive consideration which must be remembered. It means many millions more pounds credit to the National Exchequer. The impartial verdict of the National Efficiency The National Efficiency Board found also Board is that "the people should be better "that the two chief factors in the continuance able to provide the necessary amount of tax- of The Liquor Trade are public custom, and ation if the inefficiency at present created by the financial interests involved." The Board the effects iof alcohol is removed." Also that was satisfied further "that the greatest efficiency the cost of compensation " would be recouped would be attained both for the nation and the by increased National Efficiency." individual by a state of Complete FrohibibW The ordinary Licensing poll having been denied to us we are urging Parliament to grant a poll this year to decide the continuance or the abolition of the Liquor Traffic le N:Z.
