say they don't want to undertake re-
vision of the tax laws while Presi-
dent Wilson Is in the White House.
They think he would veto almost any
bill the Republicans might pass.
Moreover, advocates OF higher
tariffs in some instances want no re-
vision OF the laws relating to taxes
and revenues this winter because they
know the tariff cannot be revised
upwards and meet the approval OF
the President. They prefer, there
fore, to wait until next spring.
A solution of this phase OF the
matter, it is pointed out. would be to
change the tax laws this winter and
then overhaul the tariff in the special
session. Most Republicans want
tariff duties increased and more
revenue obtained from the tariff. The
agricultural regions Of the United
States are clamoring for more tarin

Political dynamite turks In the
plan which Secretary Houston Is ex-
pected to urge, to repeal the excess
profits tax and substitute therefor q
graduated income tax which cuts
deeper than the present income tax
on incomes above $1,000.
Presumably the great body OF the
Democrats will favor this PROPOSE
ton.
On the other hand. there will be
antagonism to ii among conserva-
tives in Congress, some OF whom
favor consumption taxes.
1t In easy to perceive TINT IL the
Democrats advocate higher income
taxes on persons with large Incomes
and the Republicans do not impose
them and Instead Impose taxes which
arc found Objectionable by q large
element Of the public, a campaign
tsssue for 1922 will have been shaped.
The Republicans will obviously have
to take the responsibility for such

CRITICISM CERTAIN.
It Is one of those cases where al
most any sort of revision of the tax
laws will call forth a lot Of criticism.

huge taxes the Government must
have and come any where near satisfy

Guilty Of it, some of the Republican
leaders think speedy action will be
better than long delay and discussion
and increasing dissatisfaction with
the excess profits tax.
Seriously proposed, in connection
with the change in the income taxes,
Is the raising OF the minimum limit
so as to relieve persons of small in
comes below the mark Of 81 900 or
$1,000. A reason for this is that it
is said by some of the Government
experts that it costs about as much
to collect the taxes from small in
comes and in many cases more than
they are worth. This would be highly
popular with persons of small in
comes, but would cause q loud up
roar from the rich and the near rich.

Court Decision Opens Way for
Wholesale WithdrawaIs-0f-
ficials Are Perplexed.

Three quarters Of a billion dol
lars worth of whiskey, gin, brandy,
rum and other liquors are likely TO
be released from bonded warehouses
and given over to the custody OF
persons who have purchased them
for the ostensible purpose OF per.
sonal consumption, as the result OF
the decision of the Supreme Court
on the subject Of the storage OF
liquor for personal consumption.
OPEN Rates WIDE.
These startling figures came 10
light today when experts began 10
give close consideration to the effects
of the decision.
The Treasury Department has not
yet made a ruling as TO exact cnects
OF the decision. But Government cx-
perts say that the decision seems 10
mean that a person who holds GER
tiicate for liquor In a bonded ware
house, the liquor being for personal
consumption. Is entitled to withdraw
II and remove II to his home.
II the decision Ia held by the In
ternal revenue and enforcement Of
will be opened wide for Withdrawals
from bonded warehouses, as well AS
for the removal OF wet goods from
places of commercial storage.
REPRESENTS HUGE SUM.
How much liquor is there In bond
ed warehouses? This Is a pertinent
question in view of the court decis-
ion. And what part OF II Is held for
private consumption?
Statistics as OF August 81 show
there were in bonded warehouses the
following In gallons:
Whiskey ......... 46,444.O71
Rum 9V1'oio
riH ...... Vo<'oio
brandy ............ o3O,31o
Competent authorities estimate
that 80 per cent OF this Is held for
private consumption. In other words.
certificates for 80 per cent of this
liquor are held by persons who have
the goods for private con-
or presumably for that
purpose.
That this represents an enormous
sum at the current prices for liquors
is obvious. 80 per cent Of the whiskey
alone would be over $4,000 900. gallons
or over 10000, 900 quarters. At cur
rent prices the country over this 10

The Bureau OF Internal Revenue
Will not rule on the amount OF liquor

mortal insists he can consume ten
barrels. he can probably get away
with IL. The law IL silent on the
proposition OF a mans capacity TO

In any event. the decision has con-

cials and a lot OF other folks agos

bend their duties are going TO be
made more onerous and Troublesome
In view OF the finding.
OWNERS HAVE RIGHTS.
IL was the principal established by
the court that ownership OF whiskey
is a property right enjoyed under the
Constitution. and the view OF the
court was that nothing In the Vol
stead law. regardless OF the pro-
visions covering this point, can take
away that right.
Upon that broad ground II was adj
mitted by enforcement officials to-
day that great difficulty would be en-
countered in any attempt to prevent
Withdrawals from bonded warehouses

standing among thousands OF indi-
viduals.

coming from the Internal Revenue, II

be affected. The Likelihood. officials
said today. will be stif opposition by
the enforcement bureau to any letting
down of the bars for indiscriminate
Withdrawals. But a few officials
took the view that under the broad
ground taken by the highest court.
whiskey certificate holders may be
able to defeat the Government In any
attempt to stop them from taking
their liquor stocks out and transport
ing them. II is certain to result In
much confusion and an overturning
OF some OF the regulations now in
force.
