The state of Massachusetts
found that for every dollar
Of liquor tax money collected
It has to spend $5 to crime,
damage, and illness caused by
liquor* That is one dollar
In and five dollars r out *
Xos isfelea found it was $11
out for cash $1 it collected*
Pontine, Michigan found it
ms outbid for every $1 it
eolleoted* The question as
to flko my8 the difference,
hardly qualifies to be a $64
question*
Whan X have lost my temper
1 have lost aay reason too,
I am never proud of any
thing which angrily * do*
When I have talked in an
ger, and eqr cheeks are flam
ing red,
I have always uttered
something which I wish I had
lot said,
In angar I We never done
a kindly deed that was wise,
ait mady things fo r whioh I
felt I should apologize|
In looking back across my
life and all I’ve ever lost
or made,
I can’t recall a single
time Shea anger ever paid,
So, 1 struggle to be pat
ient, for I've reached a wis
er age,
I do not want to do a
thing or apeak a word in rage
I have learned by sad ex
perience that when my temper
flies,
I never do a worthy deed,
S decent deed or wise*
