Financial View of the Liquor Traffic in Michigan
A speaker argues the temperance case by citing a Michigan county with 398 saloons and weekly cash receipts around $150 per establishment. He cites yearly totals, the social costs of poverty, schooling and funerals, and totals for liquor expenditures nationwide. He links wages to drinking, crime, and household ruin, urging prohibition and referencing fragmented state figures and comparisons to other crises.
