in the following:

Tended and advanced the interests Of the
common people. and II still has great
work TO do in continuing a government
in which there shall be as few extreme

as possible.

WASHINGTON. Dec ia spirited
today by the submission by Mr.. Plat
Comm Of the report Of the special
Joint committee OF the senate and house
of representatives appointed to investi-
gate the use of alcohol in the arts. 1t
developed that a wide divergence Of
opinion exists among senators as to
the practicability. from the point of
view of government revenue, of reduc-
ing the present tax upon alcohol used
in the arts. Mr.. Hoar (Mass.), who
favors such q reduction, expressed the
opinion that If congress would lay aside
political considerations and deal with
the liquor question courageously and
honestly by the imposition OF an adj
dltional tax of dollar barrel on beer,
the question of the governments reve-
nues would take care Of itself. Mr..
Vest CMo) strenuously opposed any ad
ditional tax on beer.

The difficulty has been caused In part by

piled with coupons which were to be torn on.
The mutilated tickets would thus form
check on the receipts. This check was de-
feated by the refusal to mutilate the tickets
on the ground that 1t was impossible.
The only game on which we had any
check was Wisconsin, because the ticket COM
mittee issued tickets and Wisconsin men were

game was $500 less than Wisconsin's. A

So far as We can make out, the last sea-

are $500 in bills in the treasury and no money

does not rate them at worth more than $500.
