el presente tipo desfiete. Los en-

con 658 eentavos pagados por fe-
brero. Sc calcula que los nego-
clos tofales de los embarques pa

AbAndonandose las probabilida-

READY FOR RETIRE NDUM IN
 STATES ON PROHIBITION
Veterans Organize For Battle With "Dry Maniacs and Hotel Keepers of the Entire Nation Stand Behind Them In War Against Intolerance and
 Modern Puritanisn.

ner, of Peoria, III. chairman; Henry M. Naylon, of Rochester, vice chair man: George F. Dteterie, of C1nctn- natl. secretary treasurer; George Dempsey, of Boston; Marion Taylor,
 of Louisville; George T. Benz, of St.
 Paul, and Julius Kessler, of New
 York. With them was their counsel,
 Levy Mayer, of Chicago.
 This committee was appointed to
 take legal steps to compel a referen-
 dunn on prohibition in 14 of the States
 which have already ratified the amendment, but where, the distiIlers
 assert, this action was illegal, inas-
 much as the State laws require 8, ref
 erendum.
 One of Many Plans.
 At the close of the conference MT. WooIner and Mrs. KesSler said this was only one of the many plans in the battle against the prohibition
 amendment. The meeting was exec utive.
 Meanwhile, the Association Opposed to National Prohibition, backed by the leading hotel keepers of the country with Lemuel B. Quigg as counsel, is
 going ahead with preparations for what will be the major engagement in
 July.
 i This association Is t-' receipt of let ters and signatures to petitions run ming up to 75o 0o0, and these are com ing into the headquarters so rapidly every day that the clerks are behind in classifying and card indexing them. All are protests against the prohibit ton amendment. The association will
 keep on with the task of collecting g these names until 100000 have been
 50 obtained.
 | Within the next two weeks there is to be a conference Of the leading or
 ganizations and interests opposed to prohibition
 Not Aiding War Work. l According to William H. McMas- ters. in charge of the Hotel Associa- tion's headquarters: The Anti-Sa- loon League, probably, IS the only or
 ganization in the United States that was not whole -heartedly engaged in defeating the German Kaiser during the last year and a. half. While the ot-er people were engaged in war work the Anti-Saloon League was putting over prohibition. We have received hundreds of checks which we
 have not banked at all, because we are not sure that we shall use them;
 but none of them has come from dis tilIers or brewers. They have come from individuals and hotel men. I have been connected with all sorts of canlpa igns, but I never was connected with one where the response to an appeal for the protection of the plain people against an attack upon their personal liberties was so fully re- sponded' to-

DistiIling interests of the nation are rapidly putting into effect plans for holding referendum elections in four teen States, for the purpose of deter mining whether the people are in ia vOr Of a prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution. It is the belief, not only of the dfstillers, but of leading newspaper editors through out the entire country, that members of State Legislatures, who in rubber stamp'' fashion hurriedly ratified the amendment, did not respect the wishes Of a majority of their constituents. If this, indeed, is a fact, then the rejec- ton of national prohibition by the people of thirteen States will force the legislators of those common wea1ths to vote again on the ques ton, and next time they will be guid- {. 5-y the knoweldge that the citizens for whom they are working as hired men do not want national prohibit ton.
 Thirteen Lucky Number.
 Rejection by thirteen States will au- tomaticaiIy knock out the attempt to put the entire country dry"
 The States in which the fight will be made are: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho. Maine, Michigan,
 
 Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Oregon and Washington.
 Altogether there are q States which require a popular vote Esefore ratfica- ton of a Federal amendment can be effected, but the distillers are confi- dent that 1t will not be necessary to carry the battle into every qs4arter-- they believe a t least B of the 15 States will reject ratification.
 Their belief Is bOlstered up by the fact that the soldiers are returning from Europe, "whoppin' mad,' be cause they were not allowed to vote on the prohibition question in the States which held elections last No venber. The fighting men openly declare they are about to begin the next war" which will be an open conflict with the Anti-Saloon League and it's noney-grabbing cohorts.
 The New York Tribune says:
 The major legal battle on the part of the interests opposed to national prohibition will begin immediately af- ter July 1 next, when, under the terms of the Sheppard amendment to the agricultural bill, prohibition as a war measure goes into effect. Meanwhile preparation for it in the courts is go- ing on.
 The skirnlishes preliminary to the major engagement may begin almost any day. A definite step was taken yesterday at the Hotel St. Regis at a conference of seven members of an executive committee appointed by the dis1llers in Chicago on January Il. Those present were: Samuel Wool

THIS TELLS HOW TO
 FIGURE INCOME TAX
Square!y Up to Every Individual to Get Busy by March 15
 or Suffer Penalty.

Don't wait until the nnal que udte, March 18th, for paying your Income Tax and making your return. Avoid the last minute rush. Any person can figure out his liability today as well as he can next week, and if there is any point on which he needs advice he can now get in touch with a Revenue man."
 This word of advice is from James J. Walsh, Collector of Internal Reve- nue, Hartford, Conn, who is collect ing the Income Tax in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Collector Walsh is giv- ing without charge every aid of his of fee and his enlarged field force to help the people get their payments and their returns in by March 18th.
 But the Income Tax men will not pull your door-bell or your coat-tails, according to the Collectors announce ment It is sQuarely up to every indI- vidual to figure out his own case and to get busy if he comes within the scope of the new Revenue law.
 Did You Earn This Much7 Every unmarried person who re- ceived income averag ging S19.25 a week during 1918 and every married couple who jointly received income averaging g S3S50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank blank Form 1040 4. That form contains the information he will need to enable him to figure his correct net income and any tax that he owes the Government.
 The law requires that every unmar- rfed person who had a net income of i $1, GOO or over and every married per son whose net income was 2,0Oo or ! over Gncluding the income of husband | children, if any) must make a return 1 on or before March 18th. And this re | quirement does not hinge on whether i the person owes q tax.
