I. IT IS DESIRED BY THE BREW-
ERS AND DISTILLERS:
1. There are 480,000 outlets for liquor in the
United States. They are anxious for more.
2. The distillers and brewers, anticipating a
third world war, have overstocked their
supplies and they are anxious to dispose of
this surplus stock.
15. In 1951 they had on hand 901,106,188 Tax
Gallons of Distilled Spirits which is an in-
crease of 02.8% over 1950—They produced
:52.4% more Still wines—They imported
32.5% more distilled spirits, 51.5% more
beer. 5fi.3% more Still wines, and 3(>.2%
more Sparkling wines. This is why ALL AL-
COHOLIC DRINKS ARE INCLUDED.
[(Facts and figures from "Alcohol Statistics "1
Letters," Washington D. C. "Liquor Trans- I
actions in 1952.") J
II. WHY SOME LOCAL PEOPLE WANT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL GAINS
OFFERED BY THE BREWERS AND DIS-
TILLERS;
1. The business is for cash and offers a lucra-
tive gain of 50% to 100%.
2. It involves no risk of loss of credits since it
is a cash sale.
It involves no overhead for the purpose of re-
possession and re-sale of goods.
4. It does not involve perishable goods.
li.
Requires no skilled personnel in its handling.
(The drivers and handlers are not permitted
to patronize their own goods. They do not
want employes who drink.)
People who have no convictions as to right
and wrong can be readily employed in the
business.
III. THERE ARE SOME WHO
WANT TO DRINK:
1. Local Option election will reallv show HOW
MANY.
IV. SOMETHING TO BE CON-
SIDERED:
1. Is it right to repeal the laws against murder
because some men have malice and hatreds
in their hearts toward others?
2. Should we repeal the laws against burglary
because some people want to steal?
Should we abolish the laws against dope and
prostitution because some are addicted to
these vices? (These vices are always bed fel-
lows with liquor.)
4. Shall we protect the liberties of the EVIL
DOER or defend the rights of DECENT
PEOPLE?
