Stockholm, Sept. 24.--Sweden's income from liquor trade taxes during 1922 will be over 121,000,000 kronor, or more than $32,000,000, according to the official reports just published by Liquor Control Board.
One of the arguments used by Sweden's "wets" in the recent prohibition referendum in Sweden, which resulted in a victory for the anti-prohibitionists, was that in case Sweden went dry there would be a heavy loss of revenue from liquor taxes, and that other commodities might have to be sur-taxed to make up the deficit.
