FLOOD OF LETTERS
TO AID PROHIBITION
AntISaloOntLeague Plans Endless
Chain" Correspondence to In
fluenCe Congress.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Nay lg.-A ma
tion-wide plan to swamp Congress with
letters urging the passage OF prohib-
iJoTy laws is 10 be undertaken by the
Anti-Saloon League. according to In
formation which has reached here. the
plan being to use the endless chain
system in organizing the movement.
Tile same tactics which were used I'm
the var sginst the Canteen viii be used.
only on much better organized and
wider scale.
u is intended TO get every person IN
terested in prohibition TO appeal 70
Congress by letter, writing TO various
members. and TO urge acquaintances to
take the same course. In this way the
Auti-Saloon League proposes to make
IT appear that national sentiment de
mdndS such legislation. although the
letters viii come only from those who
are personally interested in the move
ment.
The plan Of letter writing has been
successful in the past, and the Anti
Saloon Leaglers believe that they can
repeat the success ia the case Of the
railway rate bill and other measures.
At Tn II time members of Congress re
ceiveC thousands OF letters from all
parts Of the country. and the debate
over the pure food bill brought the
same flood of correspondence.
f5Ot day passed while the Canteen
bill was before Congress that each Con
gresham did not receive hundreds OF
letters on the subject. and the present
Congress has had the same trouble.

STATE FACES BIG DEFICIT
MAY PUT TAX ON TOBACCO TO
MEET THE GREAT LOSS.

Loss OF COnVictS and Liquor Revenue,
With Big appropriations, Runs
Deficit Up to Nearly Million.
An Atlanta dispatch says when the
new state administration assumes
charge of affairs next June it will
face one of the largest financial de-
ticits in the history of Georgia.
Capt. r. E. Park, state treasurer
OF Georgia, estimates that the deficit
confronting the treasury will not be
less than $S66,O0O and may reach
81, 100000. Provision to meet this
burden, in addition to the regular
state budget of something like So
100000, must be made by the Joseph
M. Brown administration and the leg
isIature which meets next June.
Just how it is to be done is al
ready causing deep apprehension on
the part of the newly elected law
makers.
Where the Loss Lies.
capt. faTk says the time is riDe
for some wise man to devise some
new and practical system of taxation
which will relieve the situation. The
cause of the concern of the always
conservative state treasurer and the
newly elected governor is presented

to two gallons, are ranged around on
tables and filled from the big ket-
