many vineyards and tnere Is
good deal of wine made. Agents
are busy in the east trying to
persuade people that the region they
come from is an excellent one for viii
cultural pursuits. These all took a
great interest in the proposed legisla-
| ton, and we're found willing to Join the
| California delegation in pressing it be-
fore Congress. This was great help.
| Next session there will be an increased
sympathy in this regard. Ii in this
State wine growers were to stand apart
and see nothing of each other they would
think there was m antagonsm of inter
ests between them. As the East gets to
kno y more of California, and as they
come to work in unison. they will learn
that their interests are Identical. The
spirit interest at toe East works against
| California. There are two sorts of spirit
| interests there. One is that engaged in
| the distillng OF what is called neu-
trail spirits. which is nothing
more or less than alcohol. Il
is made of all sorts of refuse stuff i'm
aginabIe. and is the same that is burned
hi spirit Iamus. Out Of this alcohol, or
neutral spirits. is made nearly all the
spurious wines. brandies and WHISTLES in
the market. There is plenty of s'old"
Risky sold which is not three months
out of the still. 1t is this offended"
goods-neutral spirits, that is ale hol,
| and all sorts of coloring and havoring
matter mixed up. Wine is made of it,
with a little coloring added for the
red kinds. This interest is against the
| proposed legislation.
The other spirit interest is that which
| makes "straiqht" goods. 1t gets its
quality by "aging" Just the same as
grape wines and brandies. This
interest that distills corn, rye and other
grains is with California in her tight.
| They want to stop the sale of this spuri-
Gus, blended goods. They will approve
of the extension of bonding facilities too.
As it is now the government gets moth
| ing out of taxing spirits in the ware
house The distillers simply export the
goods and keep it out Of the country un-
| Ill it ages and is ready for the market.
This country loses the cost of transpor.
tation aud of The warenousing in foreign
countries. These blended goods can be
sold as low as 81 10 per gallon. Grape
brandy cannot be made for less than
81 90. plus 90 cents tax, is sl.90. The
Kentucky distillers of pure, straight
whisky want to help California. They
know that in i've years this State will
yield fifty million gallons OF wine. Ii
the growers are forced to distill this it
will make fifteen million gallons Of
brandy. This would come in competition
with their goods. They want to en-
courage the manufacture of sweet wines
for export from this State. Even the
