STATE CONTROL IN CANADA.
”!f all the drunks were arrested, there would be no room for them in the jails.”— Police Commissioner C. F. Burton of Manitoba. "Arrests for drunkenness increased 125 per cent, in the first eight months”—Saskatchewan Liquor Board. "All records for inebriates were broken to-day when 89 Labour Day celebrants faced Magistrate Cohen.” —Toronto Star. "Our greatest problem is moon shine in the country district*. Alberta Liquor Board. "Bootlegging increased 111 per cent, in the first year.”—Raskatchrwan Liquor Board. "As much liquor is sold by bootleggers as is sold in the government stores."—British Columbia Liquor Board. In view of these statements, it would seem that government control has not been an abundant success.
