In letter TO the editor of the Gin

dent OF the National Wholesale Liquor

stand OF Byan upon. prohibition and de.
clared that prohibition without com.
pensation for the liquor deaior is in
reality legalized robbery. MIR. Dsbar
in his letter said:
Mr.. Bryan was given a dinner in
Washington Thursday, ostenslbly by
acmlrers among Democratic officials
and members of Congress. He a,ailei
himself OF 'the occasion to announce
ms views on certain alleged reforms
TO which he hopes to commit the Dem.
ocratic party. lie advocated national
prohibition in his address and urged
the Democrats OF this country 10 COM
init themselves to that policy. He
argues In favor Of prohibition because,
as he claims, il is a great moral gues.
ton, and urges the determination OF
the saloon.
Mr.. Bryan argues for the dastruc.
tion of the saloon as II that were all of
the prohibition question. He knows
perfectly well that what he proposes
Is only part, and very small part
OF the real question. National prohi-
bition means a total destruction of tie

be slow to confscate private property

There is but one solution OF the SO.
called liquor question. That Is per.

have for years prohted by the taxes
derived from the brewing and distill.
ing industries to the extent OF 1925.
100000 annually, now decide to dis.
pense with that income and levy other
taxes, there is but one way to Justly
close the present controversy.
''If the destruction is to take place
OF the vast investment in distillery and
brewery property used for the making
Of liquors, an occupation which the
Supreme Court has recently declared
to be "a lawful business then this law.
