1. “"The Liquor Control Commission is vested with power to administer the regulatory provisions [above noted] of the act. Article 8 is the only provision of this act which levies a tax purely for revenue. This article is administered by the Department of Finance and levies a tax only upon manufacturers and importing distributors of alcoholic liquors, and these taxes are declared to be in addition to all other occupation or privilege taxes imposed by the State, municipal corporations, or subdivisions thereof." (Emphasis added.) ( 369 Ill. at 216 .)”

2. ““The retail liquor dealer’s license fee to the State, fixed by the Liquor Control act, * * * is $50 per year. It is significant that no effort is made to show that this license fee is prohibitory or that the amount charged is more than sufficient to defray the reasonable expense of enforcing this police measure. It is not charged that under the guise of regulation, the State is, in fact, collecting these fees for revenue purposes.””
