THE ANTI SENTIMENT AFFECTS ON

Washington, Dec. 9.-There is no
doubt that the anti-liquor sentiment
which continues too grow throughout
the country is having positive effect on
many members Of congress. Not a day
passes but somebody introduces a bill or
resolation that takes whack at the LIQUOR
interests. The most radical measure
yet introduced is designed to prevent the
Intoxicating liquors.
This measure, which is svery brief in it's
text, was prepared BY Representatives Err

nors from one state, territory or district
Of the United States sinto another
state territory or district The
penalty for violation OF this act is
fixed at forfeiture Of the liquor so soshipped
and fine and imprisonment. The fine
may not be longer than one year for
each offenae. If passed the act would not
become effective for one year.
The enactment OF such legislation un-
donbtediy would be Of material assistance
IN controlling the traffic in liquor, since
it naturally would operate to keep intox-
icants out Of communities that had voted
against them.
Representative Acheson also has intro
dlced bill 70 raise The tax on beer ST
