He contends prohibition fails to remove evils of intemperance and urges a government monopoly ensuring quality and limits on strength and purchase.
The passage argues from a theoretical stance for allowing larger quantities of nonpoisonous liquor to curb bootlegged drinking. It suggests such a plan could erase incentives like bribery and cover payments, reducing law violations by removing profitable cover. The speaker notes uncertainty about actual outcomes and emphasizes personal freedom motives.
