An objection presents itself against taking the
licensing Admitting the utility of the licensing system
with a view to police, an objection presents itself against
the taking it as source of revenue. All
licence duties are in the very nature of them extremely
very unequal: those which do not so much as
aim at proportioning themselves to the magnitude of the
trade, are so in the extreme: and the quantum
of duty in several of the instances the quantum
of duty appears heavy even when compared with
the probably medium of probable ability in the part of those who are
to bear it. All this is admitted: such would be
the burthen if there were an equ it brought with
it no equivalent: but it it brings with it it will be
found on enquiry, an accompaniment of advantage
not only in equal amount but to much greater
It is the peculiar character of the class of occupation
in question to harbour a proportion and
that is very large one of dishonest dealers. The
effort efficiency of the system with regard to the drivers not
of the trade the dishonest members, and perhaps almost without
exception, indubitable may be regarded as indubitable.
But then dishonest dealers took whatever
portion of the trade fell in their way: dishonest it
is true but honest likewise: — the honest part of
their trade will constitute the indemnity that will
go to the honest traders who submitt to the duty
and continue in the trade.
