BEER IS ADVOCATED
AS PROSPERITY AID
New League, Urging Revision
in Rum Law, Formed
In District.

Predicting that the depression will
end as soon as beer is legAlized, the
Prosperity Beer League, with offices In
the Washington Building, today filed
papers of Incorporation here.
The announced purpose Of the or
sa1iEstion is ito promote the welfare
Of the people Of the United States by
the dissemination of literature. data
and statistics showing the benefits to
be gained by a change in the prohi-
bition laws to permit and authorize the
n1anufs cture and restricted sale Of real
beer, carrying a stipertax.'
Walmsley IA President.
The officers of the league are Albert
Walmsley, president; Elvin c. James,
treasurer, and George Monk, secre-
tary. The law firm of Darr. Darr e.
Espey has been retained as general
counsel.
A statement given out by the league
declares that the imposition of a super
tax on beer of $12 a barrel will give the
Federal Government a minimum return
of billion dollars a year.
The Prosperity Beer League be-
lieves." continues the statement, that
with the nejoymeft of such revenue
hard times and unemployment will dis
appear and again we would have pros
perity ana happiness. Such belief is
held by bankers, economists, Industrial
lists and business men generally. who
view with CONSERVATION the appalling
spectacle Of millions of people facing
starvation the coming Winter.
Seen ~ Only Cure.
"It is the saneuine opinion Of experts
that the only cure for the crisis con-
fronting us, which is liable to translate
itself into riot and bloodshed is the re-
turn of beer with a supertax. 1t is the
one and only form Of taxation which
will not penalize the people.
Unless beer comes back an increase
in corporation and income taxes is in
evitable. The result of such taxation
will be higher commodity prices and
lower wages. The rich will withdraw
from business operations and more li1-
employment win add to the depression
now affaicting us"
