SOME YARN, THIS
Indian Chemist and Chicago Tribune
Concoct Great Story on
Farm Relief

The Chicago Tribune, of August },
gives considerable space to very inter
esting story on prohibition and the farm
problem, of which the following are in
troductory paragraphs:
prohibition is at the bottom of the
farmers troubles if the Eighteenth
Amendment were repealed the political
parties wouldn't have any farm problem
to struggle with declared " r. Kokatnur,
attending the Institute of Chemistry OF
the American Chemical society at North
western University. The sessions. held at
Evanston, have drawn some of the worlds
great scientists to Chicago"
There is no question that prohibition
is hurting the farmer, for it has cut off
source of income which would make his
corn crops yield many times the money
they now bring"
What are the facts?
In 1917, when liquor production in the
United States was at its peak, 33,973 .268
bushels of corn were used by the distillerS
and II ,900028 bushels used in the manu-
facture of fermented liquors. The aver
age amount of corn used annually from
1915 to 1920, for distilled liquors, was 16,
1921 bushels, and for fermented liquors,
7,569,647 bushels. The average annual
corn crop for the same time was 1858 ,260,-
666 bushels In other words, S5-100 of
one per cent of the corn crop was used in
the manufacture of all kinds OF liquor!
Our Indian visitor may be a good
chemist, but it is apparent he isn't
farmer, and, indeed, he seems to be very
poorly informed. On little inquiry he
would have found that the huge sum OF

UNFORTUNATE EXAMPLE
Association Opposed to Prohibition
Wants Booze Revenue; Cite
Poor Example

The Illinois Association Opposed to Pro-
hibition has just circularized the state
with document which among other
things says:
Great Britain, with one-third of our
population, collects annually $3.50 900
in beer, wine and liquor taxes. One
brewery (Guiness) paid $67 0000 600 in one
year. Whenever an Englishman pays six
pence for glass of beer, he contributes
threepence to the treasury of his country.
With a beverage tax much lighter than
that imposed by Great Britain, this nation
can easily collect between 81 600, 900 900
and $1,000 900 annually"
But what about the other side of this
picture?
The Alliance Year Book, edited by the
well-known statistician and writer, Mr..
George B. Wilson, includes some interest
ing statistics on the present situation of
Great Britain from the point of view Of
alcoholism Of total of 67126 convic-
tlonS for drunkenness, II ,290 are female
convictions. The number of deaths due to
alcoholism was male 315; female, 1874;
the number of deaths from cirrhosis OF
the liver, male, 1,131; female, COL. More
over, 429 children under one year old
died from Suffocation having been over
laid by their mothers or persons in charge
Vi bIleill Willie III Il SJtale Ol uTuilkeIllleSS.
In 1926, the British peoples drink bill was
in round figures 300,000000 pounds, sum
sufficient to pay the annual interest and
all but about 100000 pounds of the ma
tional debt.
Other available statistics show that
nearly 100000, or one in every ii of the
population in England and Wales, are
now existing upon poor-law relief. The
actual number Of persons receiving relief
is 951 900, according to official statistics.
1t is clear where England's liquor reve-
nue. goes.
This is what liquor and millions of
liquor revenue is doing for England The
Association Opposed to Prohibition will
find that, on the whole, the people of
Illinois are not totally uninformed and
ignorant on this question of liquor reve-
nue. and what becomes of it.
Facts and figures such as the above are,
of course available, to the propagandfsts
