Monopoly Liquor
Business In i
Alaska
Alaska’s per capita cost of en
forcement of liquor control is the
lowest and its revenue from the
liquor trade is among the high
est, if not the highest, in the
nation. It has less “bootlegging"
And less enforcement probems
than a vast majority of the Stat-;
es in which the trade is legal- j
ized.
Examples of economic results
in typical State monopoly sys- i
terns include Idaho: Its popula
tion is estimated at 445.000. On
a total volume of $3,546,000 in
1938, the net earnings of the
State was approximately $1.20
per capita; New Hampshire, with
a volume grossing about $4,500,
000 earned 90 cents per capita
for a population of 465.000; Ore-,
gon’s earnings were approximate
ly $1.25 per capita on a popula
tion of 958.000: Utah earned $1.40
per capita on sales grossing
slightly more than $4,000,000 to
a population of 507,000; Washing
ton, regarded as the model mon
opoly state, on gross sales of al
' most $17,300,000 earned a net of
$2.40 per capita on population es
timated at 1.563.000.
Administrative expenditures,;
including costs of enforcement in
these monopoly states, averaged |
approximately $1 per capita per;
year. This, however, does not in j
elude interest in capital invested
in stocks, storehouses, warehous-1
es, rectifiers, bottling and label- i
ir.g plants and other property.
The figures for Alaska’s svs-1
tern of private sale under Govern
ment control and regulation are
striking in comparison. Based on
an estimated 70,000 population in
1038, the cost of enforcement was
36 cents per capita; the gross
reenue was $3.67 and the net
earnings $3.31 per capita.
The Territory has no capital
invested and a force of four
supervise and control the admin
istration and tax provisions of
the law.
For the life of us, we can’t
figure out what the Territory
will gain by going into the mon
opoly liquor business.
ISSUES, NOT PARTY
LINES, IN ELECTIONS
COLORADO SPRINGS. Aug. 5
— Wendell L. Willkie believes
that the coming election will be
decided on issues rather than
party lines.
The Republican Presidential
nominee told newsmen at a con
ference held jointly with Wil
liam Allen White. Emporia, Kan
sas editor, that he believes that
“fully half of the voters are in
dependent and they cross party
lines very easily. There used to
be pride among many people re
garding their party partisanship.
Now they are proud of their in
dependence.’’
Willkie has been a strong Dem
ocrat until recently.

ECONOMIC DEFENSE
IS NOW URGED
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1 —
President Roosevelt in a message
read before the Foreign Trade
Convention, stressed the need for
a program of economic defense in
Latin American countries.
President Roosevelt said that
the closest cooperation must be
made with other countries, part
icularly with those in the West
trn Hemisphere. He said this was
necessary in order to meet any
threat to the nation’s economic
security.
The President struck at aban
doning efforts to conduct the na
tion’s foreign trade on the basis
of liberal and democratic prin
ciples. He said such action would
lead the entire nation to the reg
imentation of a totalitarian sys
tem.
