Senate Passes Alcohol Bill.

On May "a the Senate passed by a
unanimous vote the bill VIII ich pro.
vides for the freeing from taxation
after January l, 1907, of denatured
alcohol used for industrial purposes.
The bill had previously been passed
by the House, where it was opposed
chiefly by the manufacturers OF wood
alcohol. This substance is to be used
Is an adulterant, however, to make
the alcohol unfit for drinking. Ac-
cOrding to the provisions OF the new
law the adulteration or denaturizing
of the alcohol is to be in the various
factories under the supervision of an
internal revenue officer.
By removing the tax from indus
trial alcohol our government has
effectually put stop to the DONNA
tion OF the oil trust over the use OF
liquid fuel for light, heat and power.
In Germany and France devices for
using denatured alcohol for these pur-
poses have already been perfected and
placed in actual use and their adop-
ton in this country will no doubt
come quickly as soon as industrial
alcohol is on the market. As this
fuel can be produced from many veg
etable products that have heretofore
gone to waste, and that, too, at con-
siderably lower price than is obtained
for gasoline and kerosene today. there
need never be any fear of lack OF fuel,
even should coal mines all become
exhausted and supply of natural oil
cease.
The new fuel, besides being cleaner
and less volatile, will, when issued in
suitably designed internal combus.
ton motors, develop about as much
power per gallon as will the old,
while for light and heat it is far
superior. Its production will create a
new market for the farmers of our
country, while they will benefit direct
ly from it also by using it themselves
for the production of light and power.
