MAY TAX LIQUOR
OUT OF EXISTENCE
Anti i-PrOhib;tiOnists Contend
Dry Land Will Mean Re-
venue Loss.

Washington, Aug. IA threat to tax
liquor out of existence in the new re-
venue bill was the prohibition reply
to day to claims that making the nation
dry at this session &C congress will halt
plans to raise $S,oO0,OOO,OoO intakes.
Anti-prohibition forces in both houses
including members of the Senate fl
nance and house way and means commit
tee, contend the country will lose more
than $1,000, 100000 in revenue if the
pending dry amendment to the food
production bill passes.
Drys today eountered with the def
that only word from the administration
or a victory will stop the prohibition
fight now.
The country will not lose 81, 900, ,000,-
0G0 in taxes, but only quarter of a
billion, if prohibitions is enacted now,"
said Representative Randall, California.
"Whiskey now in existence can still
be taxed which is all that can be done
in any case for manufacture of whiskey
is already forbidden. Beer, under pres-
ent plans, could continue to be sold fer
six months so that the only tax the
country would lose would be half
years beer tax.
If the impending dry amendment is
killed we will fight to put prohibitive
taxes in the revenue bill. If foolish
spending is to be stopped, it is poor
war time economy to allow the expen-
ditwe of $2,O0O,o00,OO0 for liquor to get
a quarter billion revenue"
"Wets," to day were confident that
with the influence Of the revenue com.
miltce Of the two houses behind them
thcy can beat prohibition. Drys coneed3
that the tax argument will probably
take some of their strength.
