STOP MANUFACTURE
Conservation Of foodsiuffs H.
Chief Object Of Proposed
Measure.

Washington, June g. Prohibition
legislation was approved Monday by
the Senate finance committee as d
new feature Of the war tax bill Pro-
hibitive taxes upon distillation Of
whiskey and other spirits for bever-
age purposes, with a ban upon their
importation, were agreed upon by a
substantial majority Of the commit
tee. Taxes fixed by the House on
beer and wines were left unchanged,
though they have not yet been final
ly approved
General suspension Of beverage
production by distileries and use Of
liquor now in bonded warehouses
probably would be the effect of the
new tax section if enacted into law.
Curtailment of liquor consumption
during the war and conservation of
foodstuffs used in making distilled
spirits, Chairman Simmons said, CON
stituted the dual object Of the com
mittee in adopting the substitutes for
the House rates. Manufacture of al
cohol for industrial, mechanical or
medicinal purposes would not be af-
fected.
In addition to the present tax Of
1920 per gallon on liquor, a tax of
$40 per bushel tfrom SIS to 50 a gall
lon) upon all grain, cereal or other
foodstuffs used in manufacturing
whiskey or other distilled spirits for
use as beverages was written into the
bill. Senator Simmons said the in
crease would be prohibitive upon
manufacture while the law il in eff
feet or during the war. Increased
taxes of $5 per gallon upon molasses,
syrups and substitutes used in dis
tillation for beverage purposes also
was agreed upon. Permits for ex.
portation would be given only for
war purposes upon application by a
nation at war with Germany.

AT the meeting it was decided to
launch drive for new members, and
plans with that end in view were for
mulated. There are thousands of
graduates of the college throughout
the state who are not affiliated with
the organization, and a conserted ef-
fort will be made to get their names
upon its membership roll.
A campaign having as its object
the changing Of the name of the col
lege was launched some time ago,
and the legislative committee Of the
association was instructed to inquire
into the sentiment of members re.
garding this matter. Those who de-
sire change object to the word In

reform schools rather than of col
