We wish mundane destiny would cease
to af1ict the Chicago Tribune with peri
patetic brainStorms regarding prohibition.
Formerly of somewhat periodical mani
feStation, these seizures to which the self
acclaimed worlds greatest newspaper, is
agonizingly subject, have become success
Sional and the spasmodic pang that
priority attended the production of the
Tribune'S editorial rampages against pro-
hibition, has latterly degenerated into
prolonged CONFUSION distressing to be-
hold and doubtless painful to undergo.
During the past week, the Tribune has
been having dreadful time pursuing its
usual course of straining at gnat and
swallowing camel, neck, hump tail and
eyebrows
The Tribune discovered to the agony of
it's richly endowed moral concept, that
the Anti-Saloon League of state and ma
tional representation is sustained in an
organization capacity, by contributions of
money made by many individuals and
that the fiscal budget of the Anti-Saloon
League, is largely assembled through re-
Spouse by church afiliantS of various de-
nominations.
This discovery, asserts the Tribune, de-
notes a condition of frightful depravi4r.
Church people caught by the Chicago
Tribune in the act of participating in a
movement inimical to the great liquor in
terests of America and of the world!
1t is to quail.
Observe the Eighteenth Amendment.
Observe the Volstead act. Observe the
statutes in various states contemplated TIC
coordinate with the federal constitutional
ordinance and federal laws in sustaining

Note on the other hand, factors actively

of the said amendment and the various
statutes, conspicuously among them the
renowned and superbly wet Chicago Trib-

Ernest Gordons pamphlet just pub
lished quoting and reviewing wet dis
closures made at the recent congressional
hearings at Washington, is a veritable
mine of dry dynamite. Evidence from Of
ficials Of the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment laid bare the plans
Of brewers and billionaireS who are con-
spring against the working classes in
campaign to destroy prohibition, and
again license beer traffic to raise huge
revenue in lieu of that now paid by the
ultra-rich in the form of income taxes.
Mr.. Gordon says:
ENTER THE "BILLIONAIRE' CROWD
"That the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment is in intimate touch
with the brewers came out in the lobby in
vestigations of 1880. When asked by
Senator Robinson if he knew Hugh F.
Fox. of the United States Brewers As
ISOLATION Mr.. Stayton answered:
"I have correspondent with him, seen
great deal of him, gotten informa-
ton from him.
"But while this is true, it is also clear
that at present other persons and other
motives are taking the lead for the res
toration of beer and the brewers. There
has been a large scale mobilization OF
capitalists outside the alcohol interests, to
break down the Eighteenth Amendment.
In a letter to Mr. Noel B. Martin, Mr..
Stayton says:
""On our board there are individuals
who, either in the management of
their own personal affairs or in the
broad general direction of corpora
tions in which they are interested, di-
rect the management of forty billions
of dollars and the employment and
occupation of three million of en-
ployees. These figures were conserVa-
tive when made, and since then the
board has been enlarged

Mr.. Stayton. They did not wish to call to
their colors men who travelled in shirt
sleeves Attached to this correspondence
was list of prominent sportsmen and
horseoWnerS whose horses are entered in
all the prominent races These are the
men who hate the Eighteenth Amend
ment and who would pay heavily for its
elimination. And they are getting to-
gether. On December II, 1927, meeting
was called at Senator Wadsworths home
in Washington, with Senator Underwood
present, together with railroad men,
manufacturers, senator's and representa-
tives of both parties. It was three days
meeting behind closed doors and with no
publicity.
A TRANSFER OF TAXES
"Why should these kings of Mammon
be so solicitous for the beer-freedom of
the working man? The reason is provided
in a memorandum of Mr. Stayton. This
outlines a letter to be sent to nanufac-
turers and big business men, enclosing
also bait list together with request
to join the Association. The letter went
to Mr.. Percy Rockefeller, and among the
bait names were those of Mr.. E. S. Hark-
ness, General Atterbury and the duPonts.
Tt ran:
"Do you realize that congress has
the power at once to legalize a glass
of mild, wholesome beer and that
workingmen and others would willing
ly pay tax of three cents per glass,
and that that amount Chased on past
consumption would enable the fed
eral government to get rid of the bur-
densome corporation taxes and in
come taxes and to take the Shoppers
and spies out of offices and homes?'
''Mr. Stayton had prepared a hand
picked list of 1000 men paying income
taxes on incomes of 100000 or more each.
In the draft of letter to be sent, these
points are made:
al. Irenee DUPONT made the state
ment that one of his companies
would save ten million dollars in cor
poration taxes if we should have the
British tax on beer.
g. In 1914 the brewers paid taxes on
sc million barrels of beer. If we should
have back the right to manufacture
beer, if we should manufacture Just

as much as we did in 1914, and if we
should tax it at the British rate, the
income would be $500, 100000 or
more than the net amount received
from income and corporation taxes.
There would be no shoppers in busi-
ness offices examining books.
g. If the taxes should be taken off
corporations there would be a rise in
stock values and all owners of stocks
would profit accordingly
Senator CaraWay 10 Mr.. Stayton: And
he, dupont, thought if you could get the
Eighteenth Amendment repealed that he
could lift $10,000,O00 taxes off his corpora
ton?
"stayton: That $10,00O,0O0 of taxes
would be lifted from that corporation.
Yes, sir.
"Caraway: That would be strong con-
Sideration?
"Stayton: I should think so. Yes, sir,
since he is an officer of the corporation.
"Mr. DUPONT further stated before the
house committee on the judiciary, April
49, 1880:

Such is the prize money at stakel
"Tl1e Ne1u York World, of January Is,
1890, made this statement:
Representatives of brewers and dis
tillers told World correspondent to-
day that their principals would be
willing to pay 81 ,125 900 in federal
taxes to return to pre-prohibition pro-
duction.'
"The taxes the brewers are so ready to
pay would be passed on to the con-
sumers and their families. The poor mans
throat is to pay the rich mans taxes plus
the brewers profits which in the old days
were enormous. The recent settlement of
the Ehret estate, for example, showed that
this single brewer owned besides vast
personal estate, fifty millions of New
York city real estate which made him,

Editor, Times:
There was no man who was

amaZement.
Roberts is one Of the greatest

feel certain that Senator
Thomas j. Walsh, whose skill as
an investigator developed the oil
cases. will be one Of the strongest
supporters of Roberts when his
name comes before the Senate.
It must be remembered, also, that
Senator Walsh is a dry, but I
take it for granted that he will
not join misguided Zealots in this
cause in trying to block Roberts
confirmation.
Owen j. Roberts will make a
great judge and his name will go

pity is that any Senator should
try to hold up such a splendid
appointment. The fight against
