TRAFFIC In TANGLELEG.
1t Will Probably Be Investigated
by a Commission. Il


WASHINGTON, D. C., April rep;
sesentative j. D. Taylor, from the COM
mittee on alcoholic liquor traffic, to-day
reported to the house the bill agreed
upon by that committee, providing for
the appointment of an alcoholic liquor
commission. The report OF the conf
mittee says that large portion OF the
people have for long time desired an
honest, intelligent. impartial and thof-
ough investigation of the liquor traffic
in all its phases. Reference is made teg
inquiries by similar commissions In
England, which have had remarkable
results, and warrant further investIga-
tiOns. Reports from domestic sources
indicate that the liquor traffic causes
fOuf-fifths of all the crimes
committed, wastes One-half OF tax
alton, causes the expenditure OF
$S00,000,000 year in drink, incapacf-
tates mentally and physically half
million people for labor and business,
causes three-fourths of the pauperism
Of the country, is responsible for the
fearful increase in insanity and imbe-
cility and does no good to anybody. On
the other hand, these statements are
denied and pronounced to be the hallu-
cinations of
A Diseased Brain.
Therefore, says the report, let US
have an investigation, and let the
world know the truth or falsity of these
assertions. Representative QUINN of
New York, presented a minority report
in opposition to the bill. He says that
under the terms of the bill, while the
commissioners shall not belong to the
same political party, they may all be
prOhibitionists. The majority concede
that congress has no power to regulate
the liquor traffic in the states, and it Is
therefore a novel proposition that it
shall investigate subject With
out possessing the power to
carry out by legislatio the recommend
ations made by the commission. Mr.
Quinn maintains that there is no lnfOr-
nation on the subject that has not all
ready been published; no argument re-
lating thereto that has not been already
made. 1t is has been agitated and dis
cussed for forty years by the people,
and it is an insult to their ability and
intelligence to say that they are not ill
formed upon this subject, and this conn
mission can in two years give them what
they do not already know. In con-
clusion. Mr.. Quinn says that undoubt-
edly the bill is one of those numerous
measures originating outside of con-
greSS under the pretenSe OF some great
public benefit, the real purpose OF
which is personal advancement and
selfish interest. The bill is inten ded
to infringe upon the rights OF the peo-
pie, and is un-American in its character.
