What the raw money would do for public projects
The author estimates that 1.48 billion dollars from liquor revenue could fund 1,000 colleges, 1,000 libraries, 5,000 charitable asylums, and furnish each voter a home, totaling more than half the national debt. The figure invites readers to consider taxation by comparing liquor-driven wealth to public needs.
