No Dry Law, but
Liquor Will Be
Taxed to Limit
Even National Prohibition
Advocates Admit There's
Not a Chance

Washington. April "a. In laying
plans for raising nearly $2,0O0,oo0.oOO
for war expenses from taxation House
leaders are proceeding upon confident
belief that there will be no nationwide
prohibition legislation at this session
Of Congress. Even many of the most
optimistic prohibition champions now
are hoping for no more than a law
forbidding the sale Of liquor TO soldiers
or sailors.
The case against any attempt at gen
eral prohibition legislation has been
based on the arguments that a consu-
tutional amendment could not be
adopted and put into effect IN less than
a wear or more, and that the govern
ment needs the revenue from liquor
taxes for the war chest.
The Ways and Means subcommittee,
which is drafting preliminary rev
enue bill, is being urged TO increase the
levies on whiskey and beer to the
highest possible figure. The proposal
is being seriously considered, IT IS
learned. and big advances in the pres
ent tax of Sl10 a gallon on whisky
and $3.50 a barrel on beer are certain
TO be recommended to the full COM
mittee.
Some committeeman have gone so far
as 10 suggest that the tax on whlskey
should be raised to $5.4l a gallon, the
present English rate. The whiskey tax,
according 10 a reliable authority, IS
certain to be more than 81 gallon,
which was suggested to the committee
By Secretary McAdoo in recent COM
munication.
The income from distilled spirits last
wear was approximately Sl59,000,oO0
and il would not be surprising, II was
declared tonight, if the tax were raised
70 such a point as TO yield between
$500, 100000 and $5O0,o00,000 this year
Beer taxes last year amounted to $50
0O0,0 900, but under present plans the
/ income from this source viii be IN
/ creased more than S100,000,000.
Consideration of taxable articles by
/ the subcommittee has taken a much
wider range than proposed in Sccre-
/ tary McAdoo's list of suggestions. FL
/ forts are being made to distribute the
war burden as widely as possible, anC
70 this end the interests of both rich
and poor are being considered.

Very Good Eddie

The Evangeline Theatre takes
pleasure in announcing as a most
important attraction of the season
Elizabeth Marbury's and F. Ray
Comstock's charming musical come
dy Every Good Eddie" which comes
here almost directly after the
twelve months run in New York at
the Princess and Casino Theatres.
An unusually attractive and ami

and have been named the "Swag-

lty to wear smart up?Ho-date
clothes with certain chic individ-

other musical comedy of the sea-
son. They add considerably to the
life and success of this musical
treat which is sure to crowd the
Evangeline theatre.
every Good Eddie" has proven
that it is possible for musical
comedy to possess real plot be-
sides an interesting story and
charming music. The story is
briefly as follows:
Two young married couples start
out on their honeymoon on a Hud-
son River boat. Some difficulty
arises about the luggage and one of
the husbands and one Of the wives
go ashore to straighten matters out.
The boat then pulled away from the
dock separating the newly WEEDS.
The couple remaining aboard the
boat are forced to spend the night
at little inn under embarrassing
circumstances. Of course, they are
obliged to register as bride and
groom and many of the most
laughable complications arise. But
though the most unusual situations
occur, the story remains whole
somely comic throughout, never
once bordering on vulgarity.

and it gradually becomes emaciat-
ed, and may finally die, from want
of proper nourishment.
The main point to be observed, is,
that, if a pasture is not sufficient
to maintain certain number of
animals in a profitable condition as
to growth and development, the
feed is more or less wasted, be-
cause the same pasture might have
kept a lesser number in a much
more profitable state of flesh or
beef production.
AS the winter is approaching, and
as the National Government is call
ing for increased production in
beef, as well as conservation in
feed, to meet the urgent needs of
our own people and our allies. it
should bchoove every cattle owner
to seriously consider this matter as
pat, lotic duty. He can accom-.
plish a great deal, both for the
country and himself, if he will only
sec to it that his pastures are not
ozer-sto cked; that he provides some
supplementary feed, as hay or other
good roughage, in case Of shortage
Of pasture; and if possible, some
shelter from the. cold winds and
rains Of our winter season-All Of
