THE TAX BJLL-TRIUMPH OF THE wHrsKEY
DEALERS ASSOCIATION.
The passage of thatpart Of the tax bill re.
ducing the whiskey tax to sixty cents is Q
substantial triumph of the whiskey deal
ers' association which was in session here
during the winter, and whose members
then fruitlessly wrought with the Commit,
tee on Ways and Means to obtain report
to the House in favor of reduction Of the
tax to seventy-fve cents. The COMMITTEES
intimate that their views were changed by
reason of developments in the Butler in
quisitorial investigation, especially with
regard to the transactions of MIR. Woolley
and his coadjutors; and yet it is fact that
Mr.. Woolley was himself an energetic
laborer last winter to procure reduction Of
the tax. The fraud whiskey men came here
at that time in great force, and with large
sums of money, to prevent any change in
the law affecting distilled spirits, and they
claimed to have succeeded, and departed re-
10 cling, whilst the members of the legitimate
Dealers association went off disheartened
and defeated. Who got the money of the
fraud whiskey men might be made known
possibly by means of an investigating com"
mittee. gsg.s
