 Q N(otsx *
CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.

Because the report of the internal revenue commissioner shows an 1n- crease in the revenue from distilled spirits the liquor interests are using it to bolster up their pet argument, Prohibition does not prohibit"
 The reason for this increase is found, not in the greater consumption of whisky by the people of the United States, but in various changing condi- tions here and abroad, One of these is 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 etfec- tive enforcement of the internal rev enue tax on distilled spirits. It is estimated that through the campaigns of the treasury department against undergauging, equalizing and blockad- ing in distileries, the revenue of the government has been increased by probably S5,000,OO0 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 fin creased consumption" During the year ending June 30, 1915, exports amounted to 1,663,000 gallons during the nine months, July, 1915 to March, 1916, 5,S50,OO0 gallons were exported.
 Then again there has been a steady decrease in the supply of imported liquors due to difficulties of transpor- 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 nasty conclusions. It 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
 If the brewers and distilers believe what they are loudly claiming, that the internal revenue reports prove that more liquor Is sold under prohbi- ton than under license, we shall find them this fall lining up with the dryS; election campaign working and spend ing their millions to make six more states and the territory of Alaska dry.

INCOME TAX RECORDS
SHOULD Be MACE PUBLIC
BY Paul o. Husting.
GU. S. Senator from Wisconsin,
Written for the United Press.

In my judgment, no valid argu-
ment has ever yet been advanced
why income tax records should not
be published or at least open to the
public for inspection.
If certain individuals evade or es-
cape. in whole or in part, their
proper tax, just to that extent, the
amount SO eyaded has TO be made
good by those who make full and
honest returns of their property.
Every taxpayer has right to know
what every other taxpayer pays.
Men will dodge taxes. ! do not
think this is due so much to inner
ent dishonesty as to inefficient ad-
minstration of the tax laws

pay their taxes if assured that their
fellow citizens pay theirs,

often it is considered clever for
men to get the best of their neigh
bors in concealing property. Men
boast about il and sort of rivalry
las sprung up between them on the
point.
They do not stop to think that
they are cheating their fellow citl-
zens who do pay their just taxes.

are '~elchers' or "spongers'' on So
ciety Some of these men who or
dinarily would spurn the idea of
sponging on their fellows or cheat
ing their partners.
Some one has estimated that this
government loses annually $780,
000,0 zoo by income tax lodging. This
may be very high estimate. do
not know. ! do know that millions
of dollars of properly payable taxes
under the income tax law are lost
to the United States each year be-
cause of false returns. A corps of
inspectors uneovering these tax eva
slons have added millions to the tax
receipts.
The ban of secrecy should be re-
moved and all these records exposed
to the light of day. Men will not
evade their taxes II they fear detec-
ton.
The loudest protest against pub
LEFTY naturally comes from those
liable to pay the heaviest tax. Not
daring to attack the Income tax
principle they loudly inveigh against
intrusion into their private affairs.
When such income constitutes
the basis upon which their just tax
is computed then their tax return
becomes "a public document.
If it should be shown that the in
jury to private business by reason
of publicity incidental to the assess
ment and collection of the income
tax is out of all proportion to the
benefits derived from that sort of
taxation. the tax should be abolish
ed, but so long as it is in force all
steps necessary to the proper admin
istration of that income tax law
should be taken, even though in ex-
ceptional cases it may cause trouble
or inconvenience. Publicity is the
most efficient hand-maiden OF such
administration.
