Whisky Men Have
Billion to Fight Law
Resolve to Spend All Needed to
Knock Out Prohibition

Representatives of more than $50
distillcries met in Chicago last week
to discuss the Prohibition situation.
Those present claimed to represent in
vestments in whisky properties to the
value of billion dollars. A commit
tee was appointed to carry on fight
in the courts against national Prohi-
bition. Statements in the press an
nounced that the distillers were will
ing to back up a legal fight with their
entire fortune, amounting to billion
dollars.
The formal resolutions passed at the
meeting empowered a committee to
retain lawyers and to incur necessary
and reasonable" expenses. The fol-
lowing are some OF the points which
the distillers announced they will
raise in their legal fight: The question
OF states rights; the claim that SO
states cannot deprive the other Il OF
inherent rights; the claim that the
time limit OF seven years given by
Congress for ratification is unconsti-
tutional; the claim that concurrent
power by Congress and the several
states to enforce Prohibition is uncon-
stitutional.
Interesting information relative to
the distilling business in this country
is contained in the following part of
the resolutions passed by the distil-
lers:
"There are 500 distilleries i'll the
United States. Many OF these have
been established fifty to- hundred
years.
Our business has grown so that to-
day there is invested in plants and
their products at least $l,000,000,000
Our industry has heretofore been rec
ognized, encouraged and protected by
the United States government.
1--WE have on hand, i'll and out of
government bonded warehouses, about
100000 900 gallons of whisky and alco-
hol, the present value OF which, in
Guiding the tax paid and to be paid
thereon is about $750,000000.
"The adoption OF the proposed Pro-
hibition amendment will destroy prop
erty i'll which at least $l,000,000,000 has
been invested legally and in good
faith.
1.-THE legislation and amendment, il
adopted, take away from us all OF this
vast amount of property without any
compensation of any kind TO u.s. This
will violate every principle OF Ameri-
can justice and OF constitutional guar
antees."
Since Prohibition has been fought
through the courts every step of the 4
way IL il will -be-impessible dor the dis
tillers to save the. whisky business by
spending every penny OF their ill-got-
ten billion. In glaring news stories
the distillers stated how much they
would spend il necessary to re-estab
fish their poison factories. But in pri
vate their high-priced lawyers will tell
them that their case is hopeless. The
distillers are simply keeping up bold
front to the last. They have we'll
known precedent. A certain person
declared that he would use his last
man fighting for his rights.

PROHIBITION RESTS ON
A SOLID BASIS

Prohibition rests on solid
basis. 1t is not a mushroom
growth due to the war, and
most of the successes of Pro-
hibition were achieved before
the war. Nor is the movement
for Prohibition today primarily
all emotional movement. 1t
rests rather on the cold-blood-
ed calculations OF the scientist,
the statistician, the economist,
the public health officer, the
industrial manager, and the
military expert. Liquor is as
doomed and doomed for good,
as slavery. Conservatives will
understand it all after it has all
happened.-Prof. Irving Fisher,
Yale University.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1919-01-17

The lawyer who makes out the best
case he can for his client may be per-
fectly honest, but his speech is not
expected to tell both sides OF that
case and is accepted for what it is.
If the retainer were secret though it
would not be honest and those who
heard him would be deceived. The
press agents OF the brewers departed
from honesty in the same way.-New
Y ork Times.

TOLEDO FACES BIG DEFICIT

Toledo, Ohio, faces a deficit in 1919
of nearly million dollars and council
is looking for relief The vets will
try to make it appear that the deficit
is due to loss of liquor revenue after
the Prohibition law goes into effect
May q. The truth is, her deficit is
largely because of booze, Toledo has
been wide open, liquor controlled
city for many years. The traffic has
cost her taxpayers thousands of dol
lars more than it has paid in taxes.

HAS
 FOOD BUT NOT
 so FOR VIENNA

Pressburg, Slovakta, Dec. 8. - No where in Europe exists such a sharp contrast in food conditions as be- tween this place and Vienna. While the great city fifty miles away goes hungry and meatless day follows meatless day, here is food in abnnd- ance, and cheap. There were six meats on the dinner card Of a hotel here today and every winter vege- table the climate affords. Whipped cream, butter and cheese, fresh eggs white sugar and pastry are to be had in every resta urant. The hotels are steam heated and smoke issues from every chimney.
 This was the rich hinterland of Vienna before the disruption and poured the products of its fertile fields into the capital. Now a new political boundary intervenes and not one pound of supplies may pass into Austria.
 The cars of the broad guage eIec- trtc fine may not cross the frontier Passengers descend at the border and walk several hindred yards to an other car and soldier guards at both the Austrian and Czecho- -SIovaI1ian sides search everyone carefully. Pass ports are examined as if war pre- vailed.
 A business man of this city admit ted to the correspondent that the region couIds export food in appreci- able quantities as well as large quan- >1Jies of frewood. But the Austria Il crown is so cheap and government regulations against sending food from the country so rigid that no negotia- tions seem possible.
