COMMISSIONER ROLLINS has issued a series
OF most important instructions for the suppress.
sion OF the unauthorized producucn OF alco-
bohe spirits and vapors. He says that one Of
the principal objects Of the Tax law lust passed
Is 10 enable the Internal Revenue ofticer 10
suppress all manner of Installation of spirits
not expressly authorized by law, and to collect
the tax all alcoholic spirits manufactured
The laws heretofore existing, he saws, We're
found 10 be Inc fficient and the courts differ in
tneir constr uetion, but there cannot be q mat
ter OF Gouot concerning the provisions OF the
new law on this subject. Under IL no article
INTO which spirits or alcoholic vapors enter
as an ingredient can be lawfully manufactured,
except sucn spirits or alcohol have been pro-
duced in an authorized distillery, and have
paid the tax. The manufacturers Of vinegar by
various processes are largely affected bv the
law, many Of whom have been making vinegar
menf, while others have been, the Commits.
sloner says, committing fragrant frauds, the
law has made no distinction, and its pro visions
were intended TO close all such manufactories,
and Assessors and Collectors are instructed 10
take measures accordingly.
