THINKING OYER A BEER TAX
Carlisle Said to Be Gathering Data
for It's Recommendation.
Other Sources OF Revenue TO Be sug-
gested in His Report. Now
Under Preparation.

1t is understood at the Treasury Depart
ment that Secretary Carlisle is already
gathering data for his annual repvrt and
recommendations to Congress.
He has been doing good deal OF figur-
ing with the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue in an effort TO devise soIhe means
of increasing the Government receipts
Those who claim 10 know Bir. Carlisle
assert that one OF his first recommendations
will be the imposition OF 81 additional
tax per barrel on beer. This he " i'll recon-
mend as being the quickest and simplest
method OF raising the needed revenue.
1t is believed that the brewers through
out the country have received an intimatiOn
of the Secretary's proposed action, and
they are determined, IL possible, to defeat
his recommendation in Congress. There
is no great promise that their efforts
will be successful. They will have TO work
upon Republican House, which is under
no great obligation 10 listen to their plead
ing.
The brewers, moreover, are taking
course in New York that is not calculated
to enlist Republican sympathy in Congress
On account OF the stand the Republican
party has taken in New York on the excise
law the brewers are understood to be op-
posing many New York Congressman 10
whom they would apply for relief should
the proposition to put an additional tax
on beer come before the House.
Itbas often been st ated that this additional
81 per barrel on beer " ould result in rais-
ing $32 100000 revenue annually This
would go some way toward filling the hole
now in the Treasury. There is a disposition
on the part of come Republicans 10 pass
q revenue measure OF this sort. " hile others
are OF the opinion that customs duties
should be increased on many articles
There Will doubtless be proposition TO
relmpose the duty on wool.

have to impose fine upon him, but the law

A SOCIETY which is laboring earnest
iy to persuade the ladies against wear
ing dead birds in their bonnets pro-
poses to put advertisements in the
street cars, the idea being that when
the passengers have read of the wick
edness of using birds as millinery they
will naturally look around at the BON
nsts of the ladies present and any lady
wearing a bird in her bonnet will
Ehereupon become accused and con-
wicted. 1t is calculated that if tho
anger Of opprobrium can be thus
directed in public against each bird
wearing lady bird ornaments will soon
become very unpopular.
