SMUGGLING TOLL

Commerce Department Re-
ports s10,0o0,o0o Gain Over
1923, Mostly in Liquor. j.,

A conservative estimate OF the
amount of smuggled goods entering
the United States last year. principally
liquor, has been. placed by the De-
partment of Commerce at $40 ,000, zoo.
This was included in the fourth an
nual international trade balance state.

being placed in the imports opposite
the largest unreported item of eN-
ports-s25 ,000.0 900 in unrecorded par
Gel post packages.
The estimate covered all Smuggled
goods, but ii was pointed out that this
item consists chiefly of alcoholic
liquors. 1t was reached after a study
of the records of production, imports,
domestic consumption and exports or
liquors in neighboring countries, and,
in the opinion of various authorities,
was "a very low estimate"
The year 1925" the department s
statement said. with stricter enforce
ment of prohibition regulations and
the breaking up of several smugglhg
organizations, resulted finally in de-
crease in the number of foreign ships
lying off the coast and in greater
confiscation of cargoes and very prob
ably smaller consumption of SNUG
gled liquor by Americans.
"On the other hand. while the vigi-
lance of the Coast Guard increa sed,
the price of liquor advanced as it be-
came more difficult to get, so that the
total value of liquor smuggled into the
United States in 1925 was probably not
greatly different from that of 1924.

WESTERN RAILROADS
ASK FOR FAIR RETURN
Five Per Cent Increase May Mean
Salvation" Says Brief in
Reply to Opponents.


per cent increase in freight rate
revenues spread over the entire West
ern district may mean the salvation
Of many Western railroads. says a
brief prepared for filing with the In
terstate Commerce Commission today.
The brief is intended as a reply to
arguments opposing the plea of the
Western railways for a per cent
freight rate increase.
TO contend that the present volume
of traffic cannot stand this meager
increase is to challenge the very
foundation of this immense Western
empire" the brief sets forth.
"All our opponents admit that dur
ing the last five years the Western
railways have not earned a fair re-
turn. 1t has been conceded that the
Western railways have failed to secure
the same rate of return. which the
railways in the other two-rate dis
tricts in the United States have been
permitted to earn.
The inadequacy of the present
earnings of the Western carriers is
admitted even by our opponents"
