The Liquor Problem.

IT. Louis Republic.
A bulletin just issued by the Depart
ment OF Labor presents some very in
teresting facts in regard to the
economic features OF the liquor prob
lem.
In round numbers the United States
government derives annually from the
liquor tax Sl21 200, 900, state govern
ments 1000, 900, counties S., 0O0, 00O
cities $35 600, 900 and 10000, 600 from
the general tax upon property employ.
ed In the traffic. grand total of $1S1 :
600, 900.
The fact remains, however, that this
sum, nearly twice greater than the ex.
penditure for public schools,Iis small In
comparison with the vast sums wasted
annually for intoxicants. This enor.
NOUS outlay for drink is much less
than it would be if there were not a
growing discrimination by employers
against prospective employees who use
alcoholic liquors. The same
report gives figures show
ing that 81 per cent rof employers
in the transportation industries o. the
United States are averse to employing
men who drink. Employing trades
men, including storekeepers. contrac-
tors and users of unskilied labor, show
50 per cent who rule against intoxi.
cants. Manufacturers, farmers and
miners are discriminating against
drinking employees in nearly the same
proportion.
Oh 1000 employers who answered
questions, 1000 forbid their workmen
to use liquor at any time, over I,50O
rule against it's use during working
hours and all are especially rigid in
enforcing abstinence in employees;
whose duties involve any degree of re.
sponsibility.
While there is but little statistical
precedent, it must be apparent that
the grow tn of industrial conditions will
increase the necessity for sobriety
The need of a higher order of intel
l1gence and application as the use of
machinery becomes more general will
DO more to put stop to the inordinate
use OF 1ntoxicants than all other eff
forts

A Fair Compromise.

A Galveston special says: The rail-
roads have receded from their recently
published intention of making the
shipper in the future pay both the
wharfage and the unloading charges at
this end. When the notice was first
made public the cotton seed crushers
gave voice to a vigorous protest against
the railroads not continuing as before
and paying both OF the charges men
toned, and threatened to divert a con-
siderable portion Of the products
to other ports. The rail-
roads at the time stated
that the action of the cotton seed men
would have no effect upon their inten
lions and claimed that the interest of
these shippers was such that they
would not find it advisable to send
their goods Europeward via other
ports. The two interests, when they
met at the recent Austin hearing, man
aged to come together on the PROPOSE
ton. with the result that the railroads
so far conceded to the shippers that
they will in future continue to pay the
unloading charges, though the wharf
age will have to be stood by the ship
pers sending the goods here.

Express Companies Must Pay The
Tax In This State.

LAST week the express companies
held meeting at New York and
agreed that Col. John j. McCook, coun.
sci of Wells. Fargo IL Co. should secure
from the attorney general ruling as
to whether the shipper or the express
company should bear the internal re-
venue expense. Col. McCook has re-
ceived letter from AttorneyGeneral
Griggs as follows:
'Replying to your letter OF the 10Th
instant, | have the honor to advise
you that the attitude taken by the de-
partmeut of justice with re-
the express company, under the war
revenue bill is required to
furnish and pay for the revenue
stamp which is required to
be placed upon the manifest
or bill of lading, is that this is q mat
ter entirely between the shipper and
the company. This Office holds that so
far as the government is concerned, it
is only interested that the lawful tax
is paid. AS between the shipper and
the express company, l have decided
that the matter is not within my pro-
vince Of consideration, under any case
that has as yet arisen. The United
States district attorneys are instructed
by this Office that they may pros
ecute for the prescribed penalty any
company which issues a manifest or
bill OF lading without the prescribed
stamp, but that in controversies aris-
ing between shippers and express COM
panies as to which one shall be requir-
ed to bear the expense of the stamp,
the government has no direct concern
under the war revenue law"

tax on express RECEIPTS, and severely
scored the attorney general for shirk-
ing the responsibility of giving legal
opinion when called upon by an officer
of the Law. After referring to the re-
vised statutes of the state of Texas and
quoting the Uuited states stamp act
the commission concludes as follows:
I'VE believe that the express com
pauy. whose duty it is to give the re-
ceipt or bill of lading, is required to
pay for. affix and cancel the stamp,
however unwise or burdensome it
may be, and believing this to be the
law, we have no alternative but to en-
deavor to enforce it,

Fargo company. who was in Austin
Thursday says that his company will
abide by the above. which does not,
however, apply to interstate ship
ments, over which the commission
claims no Jurisdiction.
