Many prohibition agents
will still be on the job,
but they ,OiH take their
old-tim,e designations Of
revenue agents"

But now, although the income tax continues
to bring the government considerable revenue
and we have no intention of easing its pain
in fact, we intend to make it sitter on rich and
poor alike in the days of our adversity-stiI it
doesn't now begin to bring in all the money
that Is needed to balance the budget.
so 1t has come about that we shall keep the
income tax and, If SO States ratify the repeal
of prohibition, add thereto the liquor sales tax
with which We were chiefly concerned q
revenue producer only as far back as Is or 20
years.
How will all this work out?
I'VE used to bat 90 per cent Of our liquor
tax evasion cases." says Dr. James M. Doran,
present industrial alcohol commissioner, who
probably will stay In one of the Treasury alcohol
inspection posts.
For DR.. Doran has been with the Government
rs years. He was chemist in the TreaSuryS
internal revenue laboratory for 13 years prior
to prohibition, and head Of the chemical
and technical work in the Internal Revenue
Bureau for some years, until he was trans
ferred In 1927 to the post of commissioner Of
prohibition.
RR. DORAN has seen America wet, has
- watched her go dry, and now Is sitting by
as she threatens to go wet again.
Before the days of prohibition" continues

ventories. They would also watch carefully
for any Judging on the part OF sellers to see
whether cheap whiskey was being palmed of
on the public for bottled in bond" goods,
guaranteed up to certain standards and bot
tied under Government supervision. Dishonest
barkeeps sometimes did this.
Deputy collectors Of revenue also had al
ways carefully supervised distillers," states
DIR. Doran, "to see that they paid their license
fees, to get samples Of their mash from time
to time and check up on the amount of grain
bought, as compared with the amount of spirits
reported for tax purposes.

Department of Justice for prosecution on ac-
count of some culprits misdeeds in cheating
the Government, we seldom had any trouble in
getting q conviction and a stiff fine or other
penalty Judges and juries were almost mvar-
iably sympathetic with the Government.
"The country has not given the Government
such support in its prosecution of prohibition
law yiolators. Therefore, of course, since this
attitude has come in between, the branches
of the Government dealing with liquor matters
must rebuild their lost prestige in order TO
accomplish the smooth functioning of tax col
Iections, once prohibition shall have been re-
pealed.
I'VE have been chasing bootleggers ever
since I have been with the service. We have
always had them. In fact, the word boot
logger dates back to those law violators who
took fire-water to the Indians by tucking 1t In
their high-topped boots.
so when prohibition goes there will still
be the problem Of dealing with bootleggers and
moonshiners, and perhaps there will be even
more Of them than there were in pre-prohib1-
ton days, due to the fact that so many persons
have now learned how to dist1ll and COOK
alcoholic concoctions.
so many unscrupulous persons have made
30 much money that they will be loath TO
scrap this profitable though dangerous buS-
ness. Doubtless many of them will not wish
to become honest distillers who operate under
license and supervision and pay taxes regu-
larly to the Government.
IF the tax on legalized alcoholic beverages
shall be high there may be persons who will
continue to patronize the 1egger because be
will undersen the legitimate dealer.
Therefore, I see great deal Of work for
those who are now endeavoring to enforce
prohibition, when the basis Of battle shall be
changed from embargo to tax collection.
1--WE have had information at times that in
certain provinces of Canada, where the sale of
liquor Is legal under certain restrictions, the
authorities have had a great deal Of trouble
keeping out bootlegged American whiskey. So
it might well have been that thirsty Americans
were served in this part Of our neighboring
country with inferior stuff from their own
native land Either 1t could be sold more
cheaply or the vendors could make more
money on It, If they didn't get caught"
DR. DORAN, asked to tell Of the work Of
- the chemical laboratory in the Treasury
in the old pre- prohibition days, said it was
largely work of testing samples Of beers, wines,
patent medicines, to see If they were what the
manufacturer claimed and whether they were
paying the proper amount of tax

beverages, surveyed the stock and made in

I'm gonna be prohibition agent" said the
second.
Jaw" said his friend, who had been listening
TO some talk at home and who was proud OF his
superior knowledge, there amt gonna be any
prohibition agents when we grow up"
Is that so? To one who has been delving into
the facts about Washington bureaus and their
work as it goes back over more than 20 years
(Which, Of course, takes the story to prohibition
days., the second youngsters ambition doesn't
sound quite so impractical as 1t may seem at
nrst blush. This is true despite the issuance OF
the Democratic platform at Chicago, the subse-
quent victory at the polls and the recent action
OF Congress in voting for repeal.
When (and i) prohibition Is finally repealed,
many of the prohibition agents will still be on
the job.
No, they won't be called prohibition agents"
They'll take their old pre-prohbition designa-
tion as revenue agents." But, despite their
change of name and detail of work. their daily
lives will be quite as dangerous and thrilling
Is in the past few years.

Foxs old novels with the scene laid in the

sinners back in the hills were always suspicious
of every stranger who wandered innocently into
their back country territory
7 HE term revenue agent undoubtedly sounds
more attractive to some persons than does
the harsh appellation prohibition agent. The
former sounds like money which is most ap-
pealing.
Few Of us would be expected to remember
the days when the United States Government
derived 64.6 per cent Of its total Treasury
funds from sales taxes on liquor. Yet such
facts are shown by actual statistics of 1918,
when revenue from alcoholic goods brought in
$223, 100000.
Not such a large amount, you say? True,
II sounds less imposing today, when there is
q public debt of billions to pay and when run
ming expenses plus fixed charges are anywhere
between four and five billions annually. But
70 years ago Uncle Sans total Federal revenue
was only $345, 900 and it used to see him
through his expenses nicely too.
So many things have happened since 1913.
We went in for war in big way, and imitation
and big bond issues (still outstanding).
We adopted prohibition, thus doing away with
our revenue from liquor sales, and since some
thing had to be done to bring in money when
this source no longer functioned (racketeers have
always had a tax-free business), sought for
other fields Of tax collections.
We passed an amendment to the Constitution
20 that we could put "A levy on incomes for the
Governments expenses The income tax proved
to be such q great revenue source (for a time)
that we began to think wed get along all right,

OPPOSES
SOVIET RELATIONS
Senator Sees Recognition as
'PIacing Gun in Hands
of Russia"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate was told today by Sena-
tor Robinson (Republican) Of Indiana
that recognition of Russia would be
simply placing gun in their hands
with which to shoot US"
The Indianan, one Of the high rank
ing minority members on the Foreign
Relations Committee, opposed recogni-
ton Of the Soviet government largely on
the ground it would seek to overthrow
the American Government through
propaganda.
"At the present time representatives
Of the Moscow masters are busily en-
gagged all over this country in creating
dissension and dissatisfaction among
our people," Robinson said, adding:
"They are violently opposed to our
philosophy, and day and night are
working industriously to overthrow our
Government.
THAT is the situation under present
conditions. What would it be If they
were officially recognized? What would
recognition mean?
"Well, In the first place they would
have an elaborate embassy located in
washington, fully stated, entitled to
many immunities, and this machinery
would unquestionably be used as the
central point Tor carrying on their ad-
mitted efforts to destroy the American
republic.
I'm the Soviet embassy here, the
seditious concoction would be brewed
and from this embassy would emanate

for doing this is not for the sectional pur-

this is the only way to create a return
Of fair prices"
II am going to support the farm bill"
the Senator said, because something
Is better than nothing, but I do not
believe it will succeed in increasing the
price of farm products"
He pointed to the letters and tele-
grams that swamped his desk. Some
were petitioning for the bill and many
were objecting to it. The sheep and
cattle men are fighting 1t.
The loophole for them," he sug-
gested, "is their power under the bill to
appeal to the Secretary Of Agriculture. !"
This Senator Is a fine, big man. So

JAMES POPE BECAME SENATOR
BECAUSE OF CLEAN FIGHTING
Democrat Who Beat Thomas
in Idaho Formerly a
Lawyer.
Believes in Expanding Money
in Hands of PeopIe-Backs
Farm Bill.
BY GRACE HENDRICK EUsTIs.

The campaign that brought Senator
James Pope, Democrat. Of Idaho, his
seat In Congress was. one fought dis
tinctly on principles Of government
without mud-slinging or unpleasant
personality dissecting.
Mr.. Pope ran against Senator John
Thomas, Republican. The people OF
Idaho frankly admitted they were tired
Of q National Republican regime, and to
help his weary party, the veteran
william Borah stumped for his col
league. But even this could not stop
the landslide
This defeat for the Republicans had
q compensation in the character of
Senator Pope. He Is q man Of fine
political caliber, who had been elected
for two terms as mayor OF Boise on q
non-partisan ticket. and is considered
the most salient man that has ever
held that ofice. He inculcated, in his
administration, q sufficient number of
principles to supply the IL candidates
who are now running for the office
with liberal choice.
Mr.. Pope was born and brought up IN
louisiana Some time during his boy
hood he stumbled upon Huey Long. For
a while last Summer 1t was thought
that the "Kingfish" would stop in
Boise and make speech for Pope, but
the idea was abandoned and Long con-
tinued circulating nearer his home base.
Senator Pope studied law and went
to the University Of Chicago to get his
degree. At that time the call Of the
West was ringing in young mems ears.
and Idaho, with its vast i9.gation prof.
jects and gold mines, was fruitful
field. So Pope took his shingle across
the country and set 1t up in Boise.
From the beginning, business was good.
Besides the mining and irrigation, there
was big sheep industry, dairying and
potatoes and the State grew fast.
Senator Pope settled there, married
and had two sons. He worked hard and
for recreation would hunt sage hen and
pheasant. His first political Office was
city attorney. Then he was made as

HIGH PROPAGANDA
EXPENSES DENIED
German Foreign Office De-

as Nonsense.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE foreign Of
1ice characterized as nonsense today
the assertion by Adrien Dariac, member
Of the French Chamber Of Depties, that
Germany spends s10,00o,0oo year on
propaganda abroad.
NJ Dariac made this estimate in pro-
posing a more active propaganda or
ganization for France, to be directed
particularly at the United States. The
French expenditure for this purpose, he
said at the time, is at present less than
e3,000,000.
'The amount available for purposes
Of propaganda fiuctuates," foreign
office spokesman said. "A high esti-
mate would be 100000 marks.
His figures must be construed as
applying to the propaganda budget, but
It is known that German organizations
and business firms spend considerable
sums on advertising propaganda. In
addition to that the government spends
an amount, which cannot be exactly
ascertained, in subsidizing various
