FEME TEA & RAILWAY HIDES. TF publio expenditure, caused by drink, on prisons, hospitals, asylums, j -*- industrial schools, charities, etc., were abolished by the abolition of the Liquor Traffic, £1,360,000 per annum would b© saved—more than enough to permit the Government to give tea worth half-a-crown a , pound free all the year to everybody wanting it. FREE RAILWAY RIDES. .1 If the " voluntary taxpayers " the Trade b°a«ts about would pay the £12,000,000 per annum now Bpent on drink direct to the Government, tho Government could carry all passengers and goods free, giro the public tea free at 2s 6d a pound, and would then have over £5,000,000 balance in hand for other purposes. The total railway revenue in 1921 was £6,918,492 —the Drink Bill was £12,000,000. - IT WILL HAVE TO BE SPENT. . If £12,000,000 per annum is not wasted on drink, it will have to be Bpent in some other way.

TWO EXAMPLES OF DIRTY . DECEPTION; THE " DOMINION " LIBELLED. rgTHE LIQUOR TRAFFIC, in its advertising, quoted a leading article from JL tho "Dominion," dated 29th November, 1919, and implied it to be an attack upon Prohibition. From the beginning to the end of that article the i subject of Prohibition is not mentioned. The " Dominion " of Ist December, 1922, commenting on this, says;— x ~ " The use to which the extract.has been put is unwarranted and grossly misleading, so far as it purports to be an expression of our opinion on the activities of the Prohibitionists." MR. JUSTICE GOFF SCANDALOUSLY MISREPRESENTED. In its advertising, Ist December, the Liquor Traffic'alleges that Mr. Justine Goff, of the U.S.A., has condemned Prohibition, and alleged) it has produced crime. Speaking before the National Law Enforcement Convention, held in Washington, 6th December, 1921, and referring to those agitating against the '' Prohibition Law, the Hon. Guy D. Goff said:— " We have no room for those who would have us exchange our liberty and freedom for 'isms' and licentious license. Such people, as tho Attorney-General well says, ' should go to a country which gives them their peculiar liberty.' ','■ He further said:— " The law must be and shall be enforced as it is conceivod and written, and always without fear or favour."
