(A. B. C. D. E and F, seated near table. talc-sport m discussion).

B: You makeit sound very per-' llflmefllnrr. putting it that way. Our little discussions are helpful but. "session" seems a big ivord to ap_ ply to them.

A: I'm glad it sounds parlig. "P31115113 Y0! that's where we're heading when we discuss anything 5° 1111Dorlant as _Government Re- venue Through Liquor. ‘That's the subject for today, you fpnypnlbel-I 1. hope you've all been thinking a- bout it.

CI Well. you and me. I suppose, I We're citizens of the country, evcnl l! we haven't a votc yct. and we're] represented by the man in parlia- ment who arc elected by the people. These men do our business —_l.h»;l business of the country- for us, make and enforce the laws. and so on. The Government. both Dom- inion and Provincial. is in business in several ways. It c lain industries and ut from which it. 00118015 a ray-gnu; that gccs into tite- Provincial —.or the Dominion Wireasury. The Govern-i ment collects UIIS revenue from the industries and utilities that it con- trols. nnd of lat‘: 1110i‘? and IIIOIK‘ things have collie under Guvclzunrlit l control.

F: But: all these people are un- Ployed by the Government anyway. They will draw pay and go about! their work whether that particular man is arrested and tried or not.1 C: But if hundreds of other men I who have been arrested for similar l crimes, should keep sober and 1 avoid arrest, there would be less‘ need for large stfafs to attend to Lhcse things. 1 F: ‘Then perhaps these officials. being out of jobs, would be on re- 1l('I and have to be cared for any- way.

C: _Not. lik-rlv. if the motley spenl on liquor were spent on furniture. books. clothing, all sorts of things necessary for health. and happiness. there would be employment f0]; s glcat many more workers than were necessary for the manufacture of l-IK‘ liquor consumed

A:_ Arid the Government would

be JUSI. as well off in the end. C: Naturally, with its sober citi- zens going about their regular busi- ness and spending money on other Government industries and untili- ties. and pcllgie paying taxes for things they can enjoy rather than for things that can destroy. and life saner and safer and happier for everybody.

E: Sounds like a better piece of’ business filling the treasury with taxes on things that. help rather than harm. and gaining revenue from things that go toward mak- ing 11 better and happier country for cveljvone —the Government in- eluded.

A: And is there anything we can do about it. C?
