is indicated by figures in the office of

revenue. These fgures. representing
the mount of tax paid on whisky ana

a barometer that records the Response

J., 1919. and in that fiscal year which
ended June 50. 1920. the amount i 7 X
paid by Indiana distillers was only 50,

FOR MEDICAL USE.
Since the state prohibition act be-
came effective in April. 1918, the sale
of pure grain alcohol in the state has
been limited to use for medicinal pur-
poses, while whisky has been legally
handled onIy for export TO other states
for medicinal purposes. The figures on
stakes collected shqsv that prsc ioally
no alcohol or whisky was sold for sew
eral months after the national prohibi-
ton act became effective. Mr.. Thur
man said that apparently was due to
the fact that the manufactured were
in doubt as to their privileges under
the national prohibition act. No tax
was paid for several months after
June, 1919, while the amount paid be-
tween October. 1919, and May, 1920,
was only $4,000.
