'OR. BAKER VOICES
LIQUOR TAX OPPOSITION
Does Not Want Wars Support te
Come from This Source of
Misery and Crime.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
Washington. May 5.-Dr. =. A.
Baker, general superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League uf America, n
response TO requests from Washing
ton, and from every state in the
Union, for an expression from him
on the question OF increasing tine tax
on liquor as war measure, a ex-
pressing his opposition to any such
increase by congress, and in giving
notice of fight by his organization
against such legislation. today said:
The proposed increasing of the
tax on liquor TO aid in meeting the
expense of the war should unitedly
and aggressively be opposed by the
prohibition forces OF the nation. II
is inexcusade in times of peace for
the government to take money from
a source of crime and misery" as
the liquor traffic has been designated
by the supreme court of the United
States. 1t is positively criminal when
we are entering great war for hu-
mainly to secure our resources. or
any part of them. from a traffic that
can only exist by the ruin Of millions
of our people.
"Our lawmakers, before contem-
plating such a step, should look back
to the experience with the traffic dur
ing the Civil war when this treason
able trade successfully aided and
abetted in fastening the present in
ternal revenue system upon this gov
ernment--a system that acts as a di-
rect bride upon every citizen of an
easy conscience.
ITO advocate preparedness and an
increase OF the tax upon liquor ar
the same time is to reveal a mental
warp and moral defect that is diff
cult to understand. Every existing
reason for making our country sober
strong and patriotic ought to be a
convincing argument against the pro-
paSalta- finance the Mar with money
that drips with human blood.
THE lofty sentiments OF the presi-
dents great message to congress is
standing rebuke to this proposition
"Ail Europe has found that to
make war scientifically 1t must first
make war against the drink traffic
Surely Americans will not take a
backward step"
