WHAT is WHISKY
UNDER THE LAW?

Washington. July 1s.-The applica-
tIon of the supposedly Anal ruling of
President Taft on what constitutes
whisky may be suspended for some
time as the result of the restraining
order issued by Louisiana courts act
ing on petition of representatives OF
the so-called whisky trust s.ele-as
The ruling reache ed the treasury de-
partment today and Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Cabell Immediately
entered into consultation with Assistant
Attorney General Fowler representing
the department of Justice, which has
charge of the legal proceedings in In
ternaI revenue matters.
The whisky interests contend that the
government has no right to dictate that
whisky shall be made only from the
grain, that the treasury department
discriminates in it's rulings and that
there Is no reason why whisky made
from sawdust, potato parings or any
other such material should not be in
the same taxable status as whisky made
from grain.
The petitioners want the entire gov
eminent proceedings in the matter sus-
pended pending the final determination
of the test case instituted through the
bill of equity in the Louisiana courts.
The whole problem, of what is whisky"
is therefore again the matter of sharp
dispute.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Ca
bell called on the department of justice
today for a decision as to whether the
treasury department shall be directed to
suspend numerically the enforcement OF
President Taft's decision, pending the dis
position of the test case. The department
will refer the matter to Special Counsel
Spencer, now in New Orleans. as to the
facts, the scope of the Injunction. and as
to what understanding there might have
been between the government authorities
| and counsel for the whisky interests.
| Originally, anyone could label an AGO.
| holic beverage as he saw MT.
| President Roosevelt then limited the use
of the word whisky practically to straight
whisky. President Taft extended this
definition to all grain distillate. Now the
molasses and whisky interests want to
extend the definition in the meaning OF
the internal revenue tax requirements to
| embrace all whisky.

nier contended as at first that there
was no contest; that no fraud had been
alleged and that under the law the
committee had no right to enter the
hoy He moved that the committee re-
consider Its acton in voting to enter
the box. E. A Little took exception
with his motion. stating that Lanier
had no right to make the motion as
he had voted against opening the box.
The chairman here stated that in his
opinion the first thing to do was to
decide which committee should handle
the contest and asked that the MEM
bers express themselves Reference was
made to the fact that 1t has been
the custom for contests to be heard
by the new committee.
H. ]. Palmer stated that he had been
opposed to going into the box all the
time but as a majority of the COM
mittee had Voted to do so he be-
lieved that 1t should be done. He moved
that the matter be gone into at once.
Mayor Lewis here stated that he was
not sparring for time but to show that
he desired to take no advantage of Mr..
Edmundson he was willing for the mat
ter to be postponed and further that
he thought that the committee should
adjourn out of Difference to Mr., Scott,
who had a death In his family
