Do you know that the annual revenue paid the government by the liquor industry exceeds the total annual interest on the new SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR WAR LOAN? that there are now stored in Government Bonded Ware- houses, over 211,000,000 gallons of whiskey and other spirits? that distillers have given bonds to the Government for over $232,000,000 for payment of taxes on these goods? that prohibition would confiscate not only the millions lawfully invested in distillery property, but also the millions of gal- lons stored in bonded warehouses, and would confiscate bonds to the extent of $232,000,000—an amount greatly in excess of the total capital and surplus of all the bonding companies in America —so that the Government would lose $232,000,000 taxes? i These conditions exist because the government—in order to provide pure and mature goods—has decreed that whiskey may remain in bond 8 years and, if bottled in bond, must remain in bond 4 years for bottling purposes. gq The Constitution of the United States guarantees that private property shall not be taken nor destroyed for the public good, without due compensation to owners. Prohibition is alleged to be for the public good. Prohibition as now pro- posed is ruthless confiscation. From every standpoint of American justice, should not the cost be borne by the Government—state or national—decreeing it? Confiscation without compensation is un-American and contrary to the Constitution of the United States. aa The liquor industry has paid to date over six billion dollars in taxes to the i Federal Government, and is now paying nearly $1,000,000 per day. g We ask a just and equitable consideration of the economic, moral and financial problems of proposed Prohibition.
