A Bill to Repeal Whisky
"OutaQe" Law

A bill which, If passed, will cost the
liquor interests from t35, 900, 900 to
$50, ,0o0, 600 in increased taxes, is to bs
introduced In the House Of Rsprssen.
tatives by Representative Henry T.
Rainsy, OF Illineis, according to the
Chicago Tribune. which describes the
outage measure 90 follows:
SPY outage 10 meant the number OF
gallons of vhisksy lost by evapora-
tion while the whisksy IL aging in bon.
dsd warehouses.
"When the government first assessed
tax on whisksy for revenue purposes,
the distillers were forced to pay on ell
whiskey that went into the bonded
warehouses.
I'm the early eighties q law was en-.
acted granting the distillers IN allow.
anes for the whiskey which evapors.
ted during the time 1t was kept ir
bond. Fer years the liquor people
have been attempting to increase thi.
allowance, and . measure was rspor'
Ted fsvorsbly by the sixty-sscond
Cengrsss by the House ways and
means committee allowing them an in
crease for outage. but it was never
called up.
Under the present law 13} gallon,
per cssk 10 the allowance for whiskeJ
in bond seven years, aad on thi,
amount the government collects nc
tax. Mr., Rainsy believes and asserts
that by the mere process OF evapora
tion the whisksy which remains in th,
casks becomes 80 much more vsluabl,
to the distillsrs that the tax should b,
paid on the liquor when it is put Ii
the warehouses, and not when it is ia
ken out.
"His idea would result in an in
crease Of s4.s5 in the taxes on eacl
eask of whiskey now in the bonded
warehouses;. On the basis of las
years production of whisksy, thi.
payment annually would amount te
between s35, 900, 900 and $50, 900, 600.
"1n the period from 1895 to l9l.
the amount Of taxes collected by th,
government from the distillers has in
creased more than 100 per cent. A
the present time there are more thar
25O, 600, 900 gallons of whiskey in tn.
bonded warehouses of the country
subject to the tax Of Sll0 per gallon
There are from 46 to g gallons in {

last night, it being the great

the transmission of a wireless

passed over the japanese is
land, the Pacific ocean and the
American continent.
The message, which was of no

its long journey, was picked up
by the wireless station on the
top of the Filen building in this
city Every word Of the message
was taken down in detail by
the operators here.
