letter 10 Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue Miller:
II have received your letter of the
9Th inst, in which you enclose tele-
gram from Collector Wellborne of San
Francisco, requesting to be informed
whether section of the new tariff act
prohibits the dilution of mixture of
distilled spirits in bond from manu-
featuring honses, or only the manu-
facture of distilled spirits from such
dilutions or mixtures.
I'm reply you are informed that the
department. holds that the purpose of
the paragraph is the exclusion OF the
manufacture OF alcohol in any form in
bonded warehouses. No original alco-
hol can be produced by any process UNI
der such bonds A mixture of dis
titled spirits and the use of the sans as
component materials of articles manu-
featured in boaded warehouses are not
prohibited, but such spirits must be in
troduccd in bonded warren ouses as not
created thereiu."

Says His State is Drifting Toward
RepubIicanism.
CAUSED BY TARIFF LEGISLATION
AS Shown by the Developments at the
Meeting of Sugar Planters at New
Orleans Recently.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Adolph
Myer, congressman from The First
Louisiana district, talked 10 an Assoc
ciated Press reporter of the movement
toward the republican party as shown
by the developments at the meeting of
sugar planters in New Orleans. He
said:
ut may be that republican deega-
tion will be sent TO the next congress
from Louisiana, and that republican
presidential electors may be chosen two
wears from now. This movement is
no more than might have been expect
ed. The democratic congress has dealt
a shameful blow to the interests of
Louisiana, alter repeatedly promising
to sustain il. The party has received
strong and consistent support from the
stale for many years, and the first time
il secures complete control of the gov
ern ment it proceeds to intiict upon us
the hardest blow she was ever given by
legislation.
ave have not only been unfairly
dealt with, but we have been deceived.
We we're promised back in the presi-
dental campaign that the sugar INDUS
try should not be crippled by change
in the tariff. Then, when the tariff
bill was to be amended in the senate,
there was a definite promise that the
bounty should be continued for this
year. The crops this year were started
on that understanding, investments
having been made on this oasis, yet
the party to which the state has given
Its undivided support did acts that will
drive many of its prosperous business
men to bankruptcy.
"rhe republican party, on the other
hand, has enacted legislation under
which the sugar industry has pros
pered. The republicans in this con-
gress have voted for sugar bounty on
all occasions, and, think, have done
so consistently. So have Louisiana
democrats, for that matter. Now, con-
gress holds further menace over our
heads IN The form of Il threat 10 put
sugar on the free list Mt the next SEES
Sion. No other industry has been
treated in this way"
When asked to state his personal
opinion, he said: II would not advise
our people to 20 into the republican
party. They would do better to maxi
nominations for congress on the demo
cratic ticket with the understanding
that their representatives, should &C
independently wherever they cal
serve the interests of their state best bA
doing So"

BENEFICIAE1Es OF TEE BOUNTY

over SI2,OOO,OOO Paid to Sugar Pro-
ducers In the Last Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The records
Of the treasury department show that
during the fiscal year ended June 80
last, the payment as bounty on sugar
aggregated $l2,OO9,s9 of which
amount $l1, ia, 800 was on cane sugar,
1852, ia on beet sugar, $l7,312 on sor-
gum aud SIG, l21 on maple. OF the
bounty on cane $l21. 500 was paid to
producers in Louisiana. The records
also show that the $ll ia 900 bounty on
caue sugar was paid to 578 producers,
which makes an average of $40, l90. 66
to each producer. The amount paid
as bounty on beet sugars was divided
among the seven producers or factories,
making an average payment to each OF
1921, 739. This, however, represents
only a small proportion of the number
of beneticaries under the act, as each
factory had a corps of a large number
of growers. This is also true of the
cane factories, only the proportion OF
factories to producers is believed to be
much less, while of course many per-
sons are employed in the work and are
indirect beneficiaries.
