ASK 2b BEER TAX
TO REDUCE BURDEN
House Minority Demands
Levy Calculated to Raise
S35O,OOO,O 900 Revenue.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

minority report from the House
Ways and Means Committee demand
ing tax on PTS per cent beer, calcu-
lated to raise 35O,OOO,OOO in revenue,
was filed today by Representative
Thomas A Cullen of New York, Repre-
sentative Christopher D. Sullivan, also
Of New York, and Representative John
w. Mccormack of Massachusetts,.
This minority report agrees that the
Ways and Means Committee was wise
in undertaking to frame a bill calcu-
lated to wipe out the Treasury deficit at
the close Of the fiscal year 1888. 1t
urges, however, that taxes on beer would
relieve the people and industry from a
good part of the burden imposed by the
tax bills as reported by the Ways ana
Means Committee to the House.
The members of the Ways and Means
Committee supporting the beer amend
ment sought to have it included while
the bill was still in the hands Of the
committee. Their proposal was defeat
ed, however, last Saturday by vote of
81 to in the committee.
Says Burden Would Be Cut.
"If a new source of revenue could be
discovered" said the minority report
submitted today, "the extent to which it
would bring revenue into the Treasury
would operate to reduce the burden i'm
posed upon the people and upon indus
try in the bill as reported.
1T is about time that the taxpayers
realized that q modification of the Vol
stead act permitting the manufacture
and sale of beer would not only bring
greater respect for law and order not
only reduce crime and corruption not
only bring about an elevation Of moral
and social conditions, and assure en-
ployment to hundreds of thousands of
the unemployed, but would bring into
the Federal Treasury revenue approx
mating 50,O00,000, without regard to
income in corporations taxes. and with
out regard to the revenue that would
flow to the Federal States and their
subdivisions"
The report said some persons have
estimated that such tax would pro-
duce for the Treasury a sum in excess
Of $3.50, ,000,0 900.
1T is our intention" the report con-
tinued, ito propose an amendment to
the bill reported, making legal the

VESSEL IN DISTRESS
IN LAKE MICHIGAN
Steamer, 400 Feet Off Breakwater,
Calls for Help in Severe
Blizzard.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LUDINGTON, Mich, March 8.-The
Pere Marquette passenger steamer Vir-
ginia was in distress today in Lake
Michigan outside the Lndington harbor
in a severe blizzard.
A Coast Guard lifeboat was launched
to investigate the trouble. The ship
was only 400 feet off the south arm Of
the breakwater, but, because of the
driving storm, it was impossible for
shore watchers to determine the nature
of the trouble. Coast guards suggested
the ship might be aground or have lost
its rudder
The ship was en- route from Mani
towoc, Wis.
The Pere Marquette Car Ferry Co.,
No. IS, and the Virginia's sister ship
Nevada also steamed to the assistance
of the boat
The Virginia, wallowing in heavy
seas, maneuvered unsuccessfully for
the harbor and, when the heavy seas
washed her away from the breakwater
entrance, she sent out distress signals.
Pere Marquette officials said the Viz
ginia had a crew Of IS. She is COM
manded by Capt. Andrew Coleman Of
Ludington.

YOUR INTEREST IN RAILROADS

A railroad executive presents this thumb
nail sketch of the railroad industry:
The Class l lines have an investment of $780,
$4,000, 900. They operate $4,000 miles of
track and pay taxes amounting to $34S,ooo,-
900 a year. They spend about $1,03S,000,o 900
a year for equipment and supplies.
They employ 100000 men and women
with a total wage of $2,55o,ooo,ooo There
are a million holders of railroad bonds and
100000 stockholders. More than $3,000,000,-
900 of railroad securities are held by life in
surance companies and mutual savings banks.
These insurance companies have 5O,000,0 900
policyholders and there are nearly 10000 900
depositors in mutual savings banks.
The railroad industry is exceeded in size on
ly by agriculture.
Practically every living American has an
interest of some kind in the rails. The steel
worker, the storekeeper, the banker, the insur-
ance man, the day laborer-all classes and all
kinds are involved. To some degree, their in
dividual prosperity, or lack of it, is bound up
with railroad prosperity.
Yes, whether you work for wages or clip
coupons, you are a partner of the railroads.
