MONTGOMERY

Montgomery. June 30.-At midnight tonight the "bone-dry" prohibition bill became effective. making 1t unlawful to ship liquors into the state in any quantities. The express office and freight depots took care of heavy rush all day, but the ruling of both carriers that all shipments actually en route by or before midnight tonight will be delivered on arrivel here after July l, tended to prevent any unto ward excitement or demonstration.
 Both postoffice and express money orders were sent out in large num- bers yesterday under special delivery stamps in order to have liquors or dered in transit before midnight to- night. The express company and the railroads expect heavy business practically the entire coming week as result of the ruling of the legal department.

HOUSE LEVIES REDUCED

House levies of per cent upon gross sales of many manufacturers were strick- ell out entirely and taxes on patent medi- cines, perfumery, cosmetics, Pullman ac- commodations, and soft drinks, greatly reduced.
 Believing a compromise on prohibition legislation will not stop consumption and revenue yield from distilled spirits, beer or wines, the committee made little change in the House liquor taxes.
 In greatly increasing the tax levy on excess profits, the committee also pro- vided for such taxation on corporations undistributed surplus. That earned in 1917 will be. allowed general tax ex- emption of 20 per cent and that earned prior thereto would be taxed, when dis tributed. according to the revenue rates existing in the year when earned.
