Disturbed About Cocktails
By Lillian P. Danielson W here does tax-payers’ money go? The Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union was holding a meeting in Evanston, Illinois April 3, 1959. A Professor from the University of Illinois an nounced at that meeting that about 12,000,000 cocktails a year were served by the State Depart ment to persons it entertains. The Chicago Tribune printed the arti cle. The World Almanac of 1959 reported as facts the following statements: 35,910 liquor laws were broken in the United States that year; 768,849 arrests for drunks that year; and the total arrests for crime were 2,068,677 in 1959. Does the liquor tax pay this bill ? Who pays for the building of the jails and prisons that board these people free part of the year? Who pays for 12,000,000 cocktails in Illinois in 1959 plus all the other 49 states that are serving cocktails? Who pays the cost of arresting 2,068,677 people and then their court proceedings, plus salaries for extra policemen? Who pays employees in our jails? Who pays for extra care for their families when they cannot sup port them? Isn’t it about time the non drinkers in the United States find out just how much they are pay ing of the liquor bill of those who drink in Government circles, let alone all the expense elsewhere? Who is subsidizing the liquor business? Are we the people of the U.S. Government subsidizing the liquor business or the liquor business subsidizing us by the taxes they pay? Our slogan today is, “The peo ple have a right to know why we have to serve so many cocktails ?” BH
