Baptlsts and State Fair
-Duval Porter,

in Enon church near Hollins yesterday. adopted
resolutions condemnng the State fair in Rich

Dan River Baptist association. says: Our sense
of the affront presented by the purpose of the
State Fair association to sell Intoxicating liquor,
which result only In retarding the church
in its work and of the inherent immortality of
such thing, is so great that we feel called upon
urgently to advise all related to this body not
to patronize the said State fair as long the

CURRENT COMMENT
To Pension Its Clergy.

The plan of the Episcopal Church to take up
the matter of clergymen's pensions at the gem
eral convention to be held at New York in
October is a commendabe step indeed. In fact
this should have been done years ago by so
wealthy a church
We read in religious publication that there
ere ninety one diocese and mission districts in
this country. fortytwo of which are without any
pension system. Their annual endowment ag-
gregates S173,245, while the annual dsburse-
ments total $I12534. The commission in charge
of working out the pension plan proposes to
consolidate all diocesan agencies and funds, to
start with fund of $4,000, 600 capital and
to assess the whole Church for 100000 each
year.
The board intends to submit to the general
convention not only plan to pension the whole
body of the clergy numbering $500 automati-
cally as each pastor reaches the age of sixty
FIVE, but also to pension ministers widows, to
educate their orphan children, and tn care for
any clergyman disabled at any age. The scheme
includes foreign missionaries also. The pension
is to approximate half Decentralization Herald

AN ARGUMENT THAT FAILS.

During the fiscal year ending June. 1918, the
income of the United States government from the
tax of whiskey exceeded that of the previous
year by s7,744,9h,
There you have the text on which the oppo-
nents of prohibition base numerous arguments
against that policy and from which they attempt
to show that prohibition does not prohibit OF
hbtion does have the effect OF decreasing the
sale of liquor in that territory--no ever
claimed that 1t prohibits-but what facts
between brewers, their allies and those who vote
against prohibition through principle"
The figures say that the government received
more from the tax on whiskey in 1912 than in
1911. To receive more taxes more whiskey must
be sold. Ergo. more liquor sold. and, there
fore, consumed in 1912, than in 1913. despite the
spread Of prohibition.
We have here, apparently, an unanswerable ar
gument in support of the contention that where
the laws prohibit the sale OF liquor more liquor
is sold. Such contention sounds absurd on it's
face, we know, but this is the conclusion drawn
from the report showing the increase of taxes
paid in 1912. But being absurd and contrary to
known facts there must be something wrong
with the alleged facts upon which 1t is based.
There is something radically wrong.
The governments income from the liquor
taxes was larger during the year ending last
June than during the preceding year. but this
liquor To receive more taxes 1t is not necessary
to sell more liquor, That is where the argument
falls. There 10 the alleged fact that is not a
fact.
| The tax on liquor Ia not paid the government
when made is 1t paid when sold II Is paid
when II is taken from bonded warehouses. In
the last few years there has been an overpro
duction OF liquors and these liquors have been
kept In bonded warehouses for the full time al
lowed by law. This time is limited, however,
and in the year 1s121913 large amount of
surplus liquors which could not be sold was
removed from the bonded warehouses and taxes
paid. The record shows that the liquor was
removed and the taxes paid. but 1t does not
show that 1t has been consumed In fact, 1t Is
houses. It was removed not for shipment to
dealers. but because 1t could not be kept in
bond longer and removal was necessary.
In other words liquor has been manufactured
for several years at greater rate than 1t
could be sold. 1t left In bonded warehouses
for the full time allowed-about eight years
We beieve-and then removed to private ware
houses, That shows absolutely nothing to
the consumption of liquor. but does show
greater revenue for Uncle Sam.
So we now have the argument this way
More taxes were paid in 1912 than In 1911
Increase Of taxes paid does not mean increase
Of consumption. - -------------------
Therefore. the increase In taxes paid argues
nothing

Beneath her lay that proud array
That on the day with spirit gay,
And faces flushed. or wreath'd in smiles
Had charged those massd protected files

Met them on yon contested hill.
