Mr. G. Bernard Shaw says: "The trader in drink takes all the money the drunkard pays for his liquor, and when he is drunk throws him into the street, leaving the ratepayers to pay for all the mischief he may do, all the crimes he may commit, all the idleness he may bring upon himself and his family, and all the poverty to which he may be reduced. If the cost of these were charged against the drink trade instead of against the police rates and poor rates, the profits of the Trade would \anish at once.”—The Australian Temperance Advocate.
