Because the report Of the internal
revenue commissioner shows an In
crease in the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor interests are using
It to bolster up their pet argumeat.
-frOhibitiOn does not prohibit"
The reason for this Increase IL
found, not IL the greater consumption
Of whisky BY the people Of the United
States, but In various changing condi-
lions here and abroad. One OF these
II set forth BY the secretary Of the
treasury In the following statement !:
Notwithstanding the spread OF pro-
hibitiOn. collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months Of the fiscal
year showed an increase over the cor
responding period Of year ago. This
is due In great measure to the effec-
tive enforcement of the internal rev.
enue tax on distilled spirits. 1t 10
estimated that through the campaigns
Of the treasury department against
undergauging, equalizing and blOckad
ing In distilleries, the revenue Of the
government has been increased by
probably &5,OOO,OOO annually"
A further explanation is that the
large quantity of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take the
place Of the British product now
barred from shipment because Of the
European war, is counted in the "in-
creased consumption" During the
year ending June 80, 1915, exports
amounted to 1.663.OOO gallons; during
the nine months, July. 1915. to March,
1916. 5.s5OOOO gallons were exported.
Then again there has been a steady
decrease In the supply Of imported
liquors due to difficulties Of transpor-
tatiOn. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches In this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue Of the
United States.
Other reasons might be given, but
these suffice to show how alert the
liquOrites are to seize upon any appar-
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive at
hasty conclusions. 1t is not within
the province Of the internal revenue
department to interpret its report or
to explain where or how the tax-paid
liquor is actually used.
II the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor is sold under prohibi-
tion than under license, We shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys;
we shall find them during the anti
election campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more
states and the territory Of Alaska dry.

REGULAR SESSION
 OF CITY COUNCIL
THE QUESTION OF THE MAIN STREET ASSESSMENT
 SETTLED

At the regular meeting of tho City Council last night several of the property owners along Main Street between Dock and Grant Streets were present and under the head of unfinished business, num- Der of them objected to paying two thirds of the cost of the sewer from the intersection of Main and Dock streets to deep water. The motion that the property owners along Main steet between Dock and Grant be rebated pro-rata for the construction of that portion of the sewer below the intersection of Main and Dock streets, carried and it was ordered that the treasurer be instructed to accept Q payment of 57 cents per front foot from the property owners. The cost of that portion of the sewer in dispute was $310.05, making the amount rebated to. the property owners 23 cents per front foot.
 In making the street assessment John Koel was assessed pro-rata but lt tho meeting last night the moti- on wGs carried that he be related S15.00 because of the fact that the side walk adjoining the Bank build ing was constructed prior to the
 rect improvement and for which
 had already been assessed.
