Malt Beverage

The law passed by the last legis-
lature permitting Virginia brewer
les to manufacture and sell malt
beverage-an Notwithstanding drink
is creating much discussion. and
portion of the press processes to
find therein 4 sO-called Joker" or.
IN other words, provision sur
reptitionsly introduced allowing
breweries to evade the laws gov
erning the sale of intoxicating
liquors. \ review of the law will
disclose that such an impression is
erroneous, as the section defining
malt beverage shows clearly the
intention to surround the manufac-
ture eof the beverage withevery safe
guard necessary to permit its sale
where beer would be prohibited.
Far from being stealthily intro
duced, this measure was widely dis
cussed in the legislature and incor-
porated in the Byrd law with prac-
tically no opposition.
The law defines malt beverage
TO be notwithstanding and not to
contain over two and one-Quarter
per cent of alcohol by volume, and
requires the manufacturer TO pay a
special license tax and give ten
thousand dollar bond not TO violate
the law. 1t further provides that
sales shall be made by the manu-
facturer direct to the consumer in
quantities not less than six bottles
or more than four dozen, not to be
drunk where sold, and to be sold in
special bottles with the words
malt beverage" and the name
and address of the manufacturer
blown in the glass, and penalizing
the filling of said bottles with any
liquid containing more than two
and a quarter per cent of alcohol.
Experience has demonstrated
that indiscriminate prohibitive
legislation restricts the use of beer
containing about four per cent. of
alcohol, and promotes the con-
sumption of whisky with ten times
that alcoholic strengh. Upon this
recognized fact is founded the
Gothenburg system of Scandina-
Wan Europe, which restricts the
sale of distilled liquors under gov
ernment supervision and encour-
ages the substitution of light fer
mented beverages, resulting in
great decrease in intemperance.
In response to a strong senti-
ment along that line, the legiSla-
ture has provided for a popular
Notwithstanding malt beverage,
guaranteed under the national and
State pure food laws to be pure
and wholesome, and their wise ac-
ton will not only promote true
temperance, but will aid the brew
= ing industry of the State in which
millions are invested and which
employs and supports a large
, number of people.
, In prohibition Georgia and the
dry" cities of North Carlina, two
per cent. malt beverages have been
defined in the the courts as non
intoxicating and are sold every
where without question. The
: Judge acknowledgement of the
l army has rendered an opinion hold
ing that as the Georgia authorities
regard such drinks as non-intoxi-
eating, they shall be classed as
soft drinks and can be sold at army
post exchanges in the State with
out violating the anti-canteen law.

which IL one of the pathetic features
of the story. His headquarters were
at st. Paul, where he moved his fam
lily after disposing OF all his household
effects In the capital city. For short
time--less than month, In fact--he
enjoyed his new field OF work and his
increased salary, for, with the addi-
ton to his responsibilities there had
also come an increased amount In his
semi.monthly pay envelope. In the
evenings he was won't to stroll out
and mingle again with his old-time
cronies. He talked to them knowingly
about matters pertaining to the ma
tional government, and incidentally
impressed on them that perseverance,
In the only requisite OF success under
the civil service.

would be necessary to dispense with
the services of the new appointees. 1t
meant a laying off of number OF en-
ployes In each OF the IL districts, into
