back along the whole front with heavy

Never to Touch Drink Again,
He Tells Commons.
HE PROPOSES A HEAVY TAX
AS the Only Available Means of
Combating the Evil.
Everybody Agreed Until Reme-
dies Were Proposed, He Says.

London, April 29.-Chancel1or of
the Exchequer L1oyd-George made
known in the house of commons this
afternoon his plan to deal with the
question of the too great consumption
of alcoholic liquors in England.
He proposes a very heavy surtax on
both spirits and beers containing
more than per cent of proof spirits
and the duty on spirits is to be
doubled.
The Root and Branch treatment
originally proposed for dealing with
the Iiouor problem in it's relation to
the output of munitions of war,
dwindled to a modest pruning when
+ the chancellor presented to the house
of commons this afternoon the gov
ernment scheme for restricting the
sale of drinks. The chancellor, in his
opening sentence, indicated that diff
ficulties had been met with, as he
said:
After weeks of trying to find a
solution of the question 1 am prepared
to take a pledge never to politically
touch drink again..
Continuing, the chancellor of the
exchequer said that nothing but real
necessity had driven the government
to submit proposals on this subject
but it was above all important that
the country be able to utilize every
available resource to increase the sup
pl1eS or mun1tlOnS OF war.
Victory was largely a question of
material, he said, and when the time
came to drive the Germans out of
Flanders and France the expenditure
of ammunition and other war mater
ial must be on greater scale and OF
a more sustained character thatn any
thing yet witnessed in any war. The
nation must subordinate everything to
the present struggle. and the govern
ment was entitled to ask everyone to
, clear all obstacles out of the way of
winning a struggle which means the
life or death of the empire.
The chancellor laid particular en-
15hasis on these remarks for the ben
eft of those who might object to his
present proposals. These are neces-
sary," he declared, ito insure victory:
not ultimate victory but victory seen
without unnecessary loss of life"
Dealing with excessive drinking
among some workmen, the chancellor
of the exchequer remarked:
Everybody agreed on the exist
ence of this evil until the remedies
were foreshadowed- The facts show
that the evil is so serious that nothing
but strong action will enable the
country to cope with it,
Mr.. LIoyd-George said also that the
slackness in some British shipyards
was causing serious anxiety to those
in command of the fleet. He dealt at
length with the loss of time due to
drink, showing that in some cases men
are doing fewer hours than in ordi-
nary peace times. He attributed this
to the fact that men were earning
more money than they know what
to do with.
In introducing the present bill to
amend the defense of the realm act the
chancellor said he was not proposing a
solution of the temperance question
but only an act of discipline during
the war.

IN DOUBLE CHECK
State Treasurer AkerS Making
Annual Account.
Twenty Millions in Assets To
Be Accounted For.

The annual double check OF the cash
and cash items in the office of Earl
Akers state treasurer, will begin this
week. The work will require about a
month When Akers and his force of
office employees have finished count
ing the cash. Jasper T. Kincaid, the
state accountant. will check the work
and tell the treasurer whether his
figures are correct.
There are about twenty million dol
lars in assets in the treasurer's office.
Once every year it is checked by the
treasurer and his assistants. Then the
state accountant comes along and
makes another check. They compare
notes and see if the balance tailies
with the figures gathered the previous
year About a month is required to
make the audit.
In their work of checking the office,
the treasur's force must take note of
every bond and each of the thousands
million dollars worth of bonds in the
treaSurer's office and five or six mill
lion dollars worth of coupons There
are the endowment funds ot the state
schools, the deposits of banks under
the guaranty act, the deposits of the
insurance companies, several trust
funds and the actual cash on hand by
the state. Each of the funds for the
various state offices and departm ents
must be checked separately. Balances
shown a year ago must be taken into
account and the work of making the
audit includes not only the checking
of actual assets on hands, but calls for
a record of all of the states financial
transactions for the past year.

Will Not Be Called.

Syracuse, April 29.-Colonel Roose-
velt completed his testimony today at

against him. In a letter produced by
counsel for the colonel during the re-
direct examination of the former pres

that 'the time is ripe for all pro-
gressive Republicans and members OF
the Progressive party to rid the state
of the party control which is respon-
sible for corruption" The letter was
written in 1914, and the then dis
trict attorney wrote that the men
and the policies responsible" for the
corruptionS were not confined to any
one party. Mr.. Barnes's name was
not mentioned in the letter, but the
colonel in reply to questions said he
understood that the reference was to
him.
Colonel Roosevelt was excused from
the stand shortly after this letter was
introduced.
When he climbed up again this
morning for a final quizzing, he had
been interrogated SO consecutive
hours, with one-half hour planned
today by his own counsel and a briet

Kansas is getting considerable un-

Mrs. Guernsey of Kansas, De-
feated for ID. A. r. President,
Starts Her Campaign at WASH
ington for 1917 Election.

Washington. April 29.-Mrs. George
Thatcher Guernsey, of Independence,
Kan, defeated candidate for the Of
flee of president-general of the Ma
tional Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, has cast her
hat in the ring for the same office two
years hence. Her campaign COM
mences today.
Last evening Mrs. Guernsey was the
guest of honor at a banquet given at
the New Willard hotel by her friends.
About $50 guests were at tables.
Among the guests at the banquet,
which was a more or less informal af-
fair, were representatives of the So
ciety from every state in the Union,
or vice regents of many of the states.
The affair was in the nature Of a "get-
together" function, arranged to give
Daughters from every part of the
country an opportunity to become bet
ter acquainted with Mrs. Guernsey.
To the Topeka State Journal corre-
spondent, Mrs. Guernsey declared that
she will continue working for the sew
erals amendments to the constitution
which her side will bring up at the
next congress of the society.
Besides an amendment by which Of
fficers shall be elected triennially and
be ineligible for reelection, Mrs.
Guernsey will work for reform in the
matter of transferring delegates. She
maintains that many chapters in dis
tant places, flnd1ng themselves unable
to send a delegate to the congress,
have been offered representation by
a member from the District of Column
bia by parties striving for power.
The amendment she wishes to intro
duce requires that no member shall be
elected a delegate or alternate to
the D. A. r. congress unless she has
been a member in good standing in
her chapter for one year, except when
the chapter has been organized within
the year. 1t is maintained that both
parties have been guilty in the respect
of transferring delegates.
