It is expected the testimony OF these
witnesses will be in support OF the
proposition that per cent beer IN VOL
ilme. as proposed by Senator Bingham,
is not intoxicating.
Wnl Cite Treasury Rulings.
Senator Bingham intends to have
presented to the subcommittee facts
with respect to rulings of the Treasury
Department on the alcoholic content of
beverages in the past. Senator Blng-
ham talked about these rulings yester-
day to support the point that the Treas
urv did not hold beverage ntoXlcat-
ing prior to prohibition because 1t con-
tafned more than one-half of per cent
alcohol.
In a Treasury decision OF 1871, Sen
etor Bingham pointed out, it was held
that any beverage that contained 2i2
ner cent alcohol or less was not taxable
as a fermented beverage and manu-
facturers thereof could not be ciasSed
as brewers. The reason was that liquor
containing 2l@ per cent or less IF Hl-
cohol would not keep in barrels and
would not keep unless bottled. This
was under the revenue act of 1857
nlacing a tax on fermented beverages.
In 1905 the Treasury changed the rul-
ing and made one-half of l per cent
the dividing line.

report on the bill at the time that the
Treasury had made one-half Of l per
cent the dividing line between intoxi-
eating and Notwithstanding beverages.
Senator Bingham said the Treasury did
not pass. on the question of intoxicat-
ing and Intoxicating beverages, rs
alleged by Volstead. but drew the line
as revenue raising limit. He pointed
out that in 1908 the Treasury ruled that
beverages with less than one-hah Of l
per cent alcohol were exempt from tax.
Senator Bingham pointed out that
when testifying before the House Rules
Committee in connection with rule
on the Volstead measure, its sponsor
said fruit juices might contain /. 2 or
3 per cent alcohol without being intoxi-
eating But in correcting that testt-
mony, Senator Bingham said, Volstead
changed this to considerably more
than one-haf of l per cent"
Wants Vote Like Finland's.
These matters and others with rela-
ton to the history of the one-han OF
per cent limit are to be brought out
before tie Metcaf Subcommittee.
Senator Bingham expressed satisfac
tion over the vote of the people Of Fin
land. He said:
IF the people of the United States
had the opportunity to express their
views as the people oe Finland have
done, I don't doubt that a majority
would be for repeal of prohibition"
