FIVE STATES WANT
Low LIQUOR TAxES'
Views Discouraging Illegal
Manufacture to Be Given
Government.

BY the Associated Prsss.
DES MONIES, October 27.-Five
Midwestern States today prepared for
concerted action to keep Federal taxes
on liquor as low as possible with a view
to discouraging illegal manufacture
and sale of liquor in the event Of ma
tional repeal.
The States, which were represented
at an interstate uniform liquor control
conference meeting yesterday at the
call Of Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa,
were Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ne
braska and Indiana.
Expressing belief that high taxation
either by the Federal Government or
that States would tend to create
"boOtleggerS' paradise" by forcing the
price of legal liquor above that of the
illegal variety, the conferees planned to
place their views before the Federal
Government.
Action to Be Taken.
The States represented will submit
their recommendation for low Federal
taxes to President Roosevelt or in some
instances where Legislatures will con-
vene shortly seek adoption OF memo
r1alS to Congress.
The conference also agreed that tax
alton and license fees should be rea-
sonably uniform as between States
where a licensing and taxing system
Is adopted
In States where liquor dispensing
system is adopted. it was agreed in
formal recommendation prices to the
ultimate consumer should be so ad-
Justed that they will be reasonably
uniform" with such prices in adjoining
States and taxing systems.
Predicting that there won't be much
uniformity" Senatro Harry w. Bolens,
chairman of the Wisconsin Commission,
declared that the wet States won't be
dictated to by the dry, nor will the dry
ones allow the wet States to tell them
what they should do"
Hope of Nebraska.
Attorney General Paul F. Good of
Nebraska had expressed hope that other
States which probably will legalize
liquor before Nebraska would cooperate
with his State in enforcement of its dry
laws.
Sentiment Of the Illinois Commission,
as explained by Senator Harold G.
Ward Of Chicago. its chairman, favors
State tax high enough to produce
necessary revenue but low enough to
keep Illinois from becoming a boot
legger'S paradise"
The resolution favoring steps to en-
courage only moderate Federal taxation
on Intoxicating liquors was drafted by
Resolutions Committee composed of
Rev. Stoddard Lane, Iowa, and Paul P.
Fry, director of excise of Indiana.
