they still make t by the increased
charge. In Tenne'ssee aniTother States

is no compulsion in eitherr; case?
Both are voluntary, social vices, and
when indulged cost : something.!. All
that stuff : about sumptuary Jaws, is
not worth considering. Nearly every
thing a man has' is -.taxed. He.. has
been paying a tax on liquof '.all his
life when he indulged .in "crooking
