Raleigh-The United Dry Forces
of North Carolina will assemble in

pose of perfecting a permanent Or

Revenue
Bill Provides 81
Per Gallon Tax

Washington - The administra-
TONS liquor tax bill was jammed
through the House by a vote Of
3SS to 5, with only one Demo-
GRAFT and four Republicans voting
against the measure through which
the government hopes to obtair,
$550,o0O,0O0 a year in new reve-
nules
Acting under orders from the
White House for speedy action,
Democratic leaders whipped the
measure to final passage over snip
ing opposition from both sides of a
b%oisterous chamber.
The Presidents hold over the
powerful Democratic congressional
majority was shown when a motion
to recommit the liquor tax bill was
defeated by a vote of 2S7 to 103 on
n roll call ON passage OF the bill,
opposition had dwindled to Rep
resentatives Allen (R), Illinois;
Brumm (R), Pennsylvania; Ed
monds (R), Pennsylvania; Hoop
pei (D), California and McFadden,
(R), Pennsylvania.
The bill which provides for taxes
of 81 a gallon on distilled spirits,
IS a barrel on beer and between
10 and 40 cents a gallon on wines,
was sent to the senate where some
slight delay may impede the BILL,
but final enactment is not far off.
Administration officials have es-
timated that each day Of delay
costs the treasury approximately
$4,000 in liquor taxes, since the
present revenue on spirits is only
$1.1o per gallon.

Asked
By President
On Question
Wants Sinking Funds Established
BY Both Carriers And Utilities.
ALLOW MORE EARNINGS
Portion OF Earning Each Year
Should Be Set Aside TO
Retire Debts.

- rE%
President Roosevelt took sides
in a controversy that has stirred
students of railroad finance for a
decade by urging that the lines pro-
vide for the systematic retirement
of their huge indebtedness by the
establishment of sinking funds.
He recommended, too, that the
big public utility companies, also
faced with a huge debt burden.
follow the same course and added
the suggestion that both be helped
toward this objective by more lib
eral earning allowances from the
Interstate Commerce commission
and state utility regulatory boards.
Such crises as those through
which many of the lines passed
last spring, some of them escaping
receivership by a scant margin, the
Chief Executive thought could be
avoided through the sinking fund
method, aided BY 3necos two passed
diviid~
The practice most generally fol-
lowed -m railroad financing, MFR.
Roosevelt said, is to supplant a ma
turing issue of bonds with a new
issue, making no allowance for
permanent retirement of outstand-
ing obligations. Under the sink
ing fund method, a portion of 4
roads revenues would be set aside
each month Or year for the specific
purpose of reducing its debt.
In its recent annual report, the.
Interstate Commerce commission
discussed the sinking fund question
briefly, asserting that it was giving
consideration to methods of re-
versing the present trend in rail-
road financing. The commission
added a belief that the desired re-
suits can be obtained, in part at
least through the provision of sink
ing funds to be sent up by the
railway companies Out of net in
come for the purpose of retiring
a part of their funded debt before
maturity"
The report said that if the funds
were not voluntarily established the
commission might require them as
condition to the authorization to
future bond issues. The power Of
the commission, although appar-
emily clear under the section au-
t~horizing it to do this was declared
by n official to be a "debatable
one"

that hours virtually had to be de.

Johnson's idea is that, now that Z
