The joint statehood bill has pessed
the house and is now before the SEN
ate. The clause which insures prOhi-
bition in Indian Territory for twenty
one years is retained. There was a
great fight over it, one that revealed
| a state OF things that make thought
ful, patriotic people anxious for the
| future Of this nation. There is another
fight on to admit denaturized alcohol
| free Of duty. 1t seems to be the manu-
| facturers Of wood alcohol, who are
/ fighting this bill, or rather these bills,
for there are seven Of them, one OF
them being introduced by Congress
man Calderhead Of Fifth district Of
Kansas The purpose Of these bills
is to allow tax-free alcohol Of high
proof for manufacturing purposes,
when it has been rendered chemically
unfit for beverage purposes by a GER
tain process. Wood alcohol is now al
I lowed tax-free because it is a rank
I poison. Wood alcohol is now used for
many manufacturing and scientific
purposes, but it costs two or three
| times as much to manufacture as it
does to manufacture thyl alcohol and
, is not so good for some scientific pur-
poses Temperance leaders are not
. opposing this measure, as they nave
no objection to the use Of alcohol for
: proper purposes
