DRUGGISTS TALK SHOP.
Contention Discusses Lo1U Tar on
alcohol and Patent Mdicins.

A lower tax on alcohol and the agitation
against proprietary medicines composed chiefly
of alcohol. were dealt with at length yesterday
at the thirty-first annual convention Of the Ma
tional Wholesale Druggists Association, at the
Hotel Astor. in the report Of NJ y. Kline chair
man Of the committee on legislation.
Concerning the possibility of more favorable
legislation for a lower alcohol tax. Mr.. Kline
said nothing had been accomplished in the last
year. This lack of progress. he said due to
the failure of the several bills in Congress to
lower the tax, but that a campaign Of education
to this end is now in progress. He said that any
proposed reduction In the tax would have no
chance of success in Congress at this time, ex-
cept as part Of the general plan for revision
Of the internal revenue laws to provide for
cheaper Industrial alcohol.
The proper sale and classification OF the va
rtous proprietary medicines, and the bills in
tended to regulate them. were treated at length
in Mr.. Kltne's report. On this subject he said;
For the most part they Che bills) provide for
the publication Of the formula on each package
OF proprietary medicine sold With the exceP-
ton Of one State, North Dakota, none OF these
bills we're enacted into laws, but it ts evident
that sooner or later the proprietary interests Will
have to recognize the force Of public opinion
which is pressing for fuller Information the
subject OF the composition Of proprietary medi-
Cines.
Referring to the ruling OF the Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner, that the sale Of alcoholic
compounds on the market advertised and sold
under the name Of vhskey bitters, tonics, cord
iaIs. etc, which are composed chiefly of dis
TILED spirits OF mixtures thereof. without the
addition of drugs or medicinal ingredients to
change materially the character of the alcoholic
liquor shall not be sold without an internal
revenue license, the report declared that injus-
tice is done thereby to the retail druggist. In
discussing the same subject further, the report
says;
The postoffice authorities have also taken
whack at what may properly be called fake
medicines, which neither our association nor
that Of the proprietOrs has any interest in pro-
tecting.
