"SIX DOLLARS APIECE"

IN letter commenting on a recent Evening World
editorial, which pointed to the dominant position
now occupied by the Prohibition lobby among inlu-
ences determining legislation in the United States, a
reader says
The present question strikes me as
simple 1t is this: Shall Congress permit
the whiskey interests TO pay into the Govern
ment $60OOOOOOO toward its sorely needed
revenue?
The evils of q wet spell OF two or three
weeks duration under wise laws. compared
with this benefit are nil. Conditions at Wash
ington are involved, to say the least; but
Eardless OF all other considerations, Congress
is concededly vested with ample power to
grant relief from this obviously unnecessary
taxation.
eff these propositions are driven home to
Congressman, It does not seem that they would
deny relief, and IT, under the circumstances.
they do deny II and the situation is driven
home to the people, in my opinion they may
well make their valedctory speeches before
their present terms expire
ut may be true. abstract legal
proposition, that the privilege of exporting

consideration but the same Congress which
enacted the law controls and for some
time past has controlled all our transportation
facilities, and they have operated them
to render expectation IN a large measure
unavailable
Thus Congress alone swings its club over
tax-ridden people TO the tune of Sc apiece
for every man, woman and child in the United
States for other substantial purpose than
the qualification OF its own hilarious glee
