was az the Capitol to-day seeing Chair
man Wilson and the tariff leaders con-
ternins what promises TO be an unfor-
tunate complication in collecting the
Lew revenue tax on alcohol unless the
new bill Is rectifed.
While IN the Senate an amendment was
free of tax when used In the arts. In
medical preparations or In other like
compounds.
4" Roughly estimated" said Mr.. Miller.
this amendment would reduce the rev.
enues about eight or ten millions an
nually. The Department has always
been AGAINST such procedure. We al
ready allow colleges, laboratorie &C..
| to use their alcohol free OF tax, but this
provision as to alcohol used in the arts
and In medicine and like Compounds
threatens to throw the doors wide
| open.
II hardly know what alcohol can be
| said to be used in the arts. The pro-
| vision as to medicine would exempt
all eitters, and II would be necessary
| merely to put a little bitters or q dash
OF Jamaica ginger in barrel Of whis-
key to let It escape all revenue tax.
II is hard to say what the ramihca-
| tons of such system would lead to.
not only in the wholesale handling OF
alcohol. but by retailers and druggists"

/ not separated without reaching results.
| MIR. Wilson's bill will be given a special
rule to bring II to speedy passage, and
! II Is expected that the change will be
accomplished. SO far as the House II
concerned, without trouble.
