YET FAVORITE
In AMERICA

Editors Note:- This IA the
second OF three stories regarding
the liquor business since repeal.D
WASHINGTON. Nov. l3.-R-
The country is drinking far less
legal liquor than 1t did In pre-
prohibition years.
Estimates OF consumption since
repeal range from one-third 10
one-half OF the volume In the old
days.
Federal officials, disappointed In
revenues from the revived industry,
assign most or the blame to the
~bootlegger and his customers.
Beer Holding Own
Beer has held its own fairly well.
In one pre- prohibition year, 1924
100000 gallons Of beer and ale
c0ursed down American threats. In
the first ten months after repeal,
taxes were paid on l.044. 600 900 gal
Ions.
With hard liquor the case is diff
ferent. Experts figure that consump-
ton OF legally distilled spirits, in
GLIDING pure alcohol, viii total
about 100000 gallons for the
poSt-repeal year ending Dec. s..
In the first fiscal year l9l1-l2,
the government received taxes on
az. 0 900 gallons of spirits and
b6,5OO.OO0 gallons Of alcohol.

Waterbury Church Council Elects John A. Coe Presiden
CONNECTICUT HAS
CRAVE MILK TASK
New England Opinion on
Federal Governments
Plan Divided

Hartford, April 11-Connecticut
and all New England is again fac
ing grave problem in it's milk in
dustry in the opinion of Commits
sioner of Agriculture Olcott F.
King, who has just returned from
Boston where he attended New
England-wide meeting at which the
federal governments proposed plan
for marketing milk was ridiculed
by some and approved by others.
Commissioner King feels that the
present plan, although perhaps not
perfect, offers the background upon
which to build solution to many
of the dairy problems. He believes
that any final program adopted
should take into consideration the
fact that since 1921 New England
dairy farmers have voluntarily re-
duced their production by Z per
cent while the intensive dairy
states of the west during the same
period have increased their produc-
ton more than rs per cent.
Connecticut and the industrial
east will have to decide whether it
will support and participate in a
pIOS Which SOAlCCto
approximately double the money in
processing taxes as that which is
returned to the eastern farmers in
benefit payments. This phase alone
will bring about much criticism"
the commissioner said "but we
must not forget that a permanent
improvement in the eastern dairy
industry can only be procured by
improving the whole industry
throughout the nation.
"Many people in Connecticut
have already voiced opposition to
the plan and others will probably
join their ranks for self-preserva-
ton is one Of the outstanding aims
of every business. In talking with
representatives from vari ous
branches of the industry I realize
that there are many who will OPP
pose the plan because it will be
construed as detrimental to their
interests. No one should be con-
demned for taking this attitude and
If the federal program Is adopted
I hope that it will be revised suffi-
GENTLY from the present plan so
that the best interests of every
New England dairyman will be
served.
