"If vou penult v ourselves to sit still,

Mr. Snyder defended the principle
of stntc income from liquor sales.
"If a man needs a barrel of liquor
from a druggist because he is sick."
he said, "we should get the benefits of

"Could a tax on manufacturing cor

"Yes," he replied, "and .vou could

"I don't spo why n muiilcipalitv
