Senate Finance Committee Re-

TO Increase Revenue.

Estimated Increase Will Reach

VIII Affect Dealers.

one hundred thousand dollars is the
amount of additional revenue to be
derived by the Commonwealth from
licenses on liquor establishments.
wholesale and retail, il the favorable
report of The Senate Committee on
Finance on the Holt bill. decided upon
yesterday in executive session, is
adopted by tho Legislature. For near
ly four hours the Finance Committee
was wrestling with the problem be-
hind closed doors in the Corporation
Commission room at the Capitol, and 1t
was said last night by those in a posi-
tion to know that Senator Holt's bill,
providing an increase in the amount
OF liquor licenses, had not only been
favorably passed upon. but had been
amended on the upward scale.
From reliable sources last night the
following facts as to increased licenses
were learned: The ordinary retailers
license will be increased from $3.50 to
$3.50. Mail order houses will have tc
pay license of $1,000. as against $3.50
Other Hig Jumps.
It Is said that the license on distil.
leries, taxed on a sliding scale. will be
increased 100 per cent Wholesale
dealers will skip from the old figure Of
$3.50 to $1,000 Rectitiers come to grief
Instead of paying s250, as heretofore
they will have to add Just $3.50 more
making a total license tax of $1,000
But tbs the brewery that makes TIL,
Marathon leap skyward. for the bee,

stead of $3.50. as at present.
II has been generally felt that ir
order to meet its heavy financial obi.
cations and to cover the deficit tha,
seems to be threatening from every
side. the State would have to bear
heavily upon tho liquor traffic, and the
action OF the committee, If ratified. will
greatly aid in lifting embarrassing
financial burdens which are harassing
the State. Naturally, the Finance
Committee knows the situation thor
5oughy. and felt the imperative neces-
sity of making large increases in the
revenue of the Commonwealth when
and wherever possible

BEEF TRUST MUST
SUBMIT TO PROBE
Department Of Justice Believes 1t
Responsible for High
Prices.
-----
LEGAL ACTION PROPOSED
Proc eedings Will Be Begun Be

Chicago.
-EGAL ACTION PROPOSED

+ 4 !. p y +
Washington, D. c., January 21.-The
beef trust" so called. Is to be pros.
lecuted by the national government.
The Department of, Justice evidently
believes Its existence is leading fac
tor in maintaining the present high
prices of fresh meats.
The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an Investigation
which has been conducted by it's spe-
cial agents for some months. Initial
proceedings will begin before the grand
jury at Chicago. probably next week,
and may contemplate both civil and
criminal action.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co. and Armour 4 Co., all
| big packing house concerns. and all of
whom, II is said, are Interested in the
National Packing Company. The three
first named concerns are commonly re-
| ported to control the national corpo-
ration for their common benefit.
The aim of the department has been
/ to ascertain the relations between the
several firms individually, and the Ma
.tional Packing Company. for the pur-
pose of determining whether they have
| operated to control the prices of fresh
meats. which. according to almost uni
versal complaint, have been going
higher and higher. From the fact that
proceedings are to be instituted the
Inference Is that the officials feel sat
tstied they have a good cause.
One possible method of action may
be that OF a suit to dissolve the com
pany under the Sherman anti-trust
law, as an organization operating II
restraint of interstate trade. Proceed
ings against individuals also may re
suit.
The Investigations conducted by TIL,
department.. resulting in the determi
nation to proceed in the courts agains
the alleged combination, had their In
ception in an inquiry into the prac
tees Of one of the Western railroad:
in making shipments for Morris & co.
which, 1t had been charged, amounted
practically to rebatinE.
These We're gone into fully at ths
time and the conclusion reached tha,
while they could readily be regarded
as improper, they actually had nothins
TO do with rebating. Tho practices
complained of, however, We're discon-
tinued.
