"'s~S
By the Associated Press.
The country is drinking far less
legal liquor than 1t did in pre-prohl-
bition years.
Estimates Of consumption since re-
neal range from one-third to one
half of the volume in the old days.
Federal officials, disappointed in
revenues from the revived industry,
assign most Of the blame to the
bootlegger and~his customers.
Beer Holding Its Own.
Beer has held its own fairly we'll,
In one prohibition year, 1924
900, 900 gallons of beer and ale coursed
down American throats. In the first
10 months after repeal, taxes were
paid on 1,044, 10000 gallons.
With hard liquor the case is differ
ent. Experts figure that consumption
of legally distilled spirits, including
pure alcohol, will total about 45,OO0,-
600 gallons for the post-repeal year
ending December S.
In the first fiscal year, 19l1-12, the
Government received taxes on a.
600 900 gallons of spirits and 56,5oo,-
900 gallons Of alcohol.
During recent months, however,
distillers have noticed better-than-
seasonal pickup. Their spokesmen
attribute this mainly to the Treas
ury's efforts to stamp out the Illicit
trafhc.
Tax Cut Demanded.
The situation nevertheless has
brought a demand in some Govern
ment quarters for reduction of the 81
q gallon excise tax and S. q gallon
import duty on distilled spirits.
Joseph H. Choate, jr.. director Of the
Alcohol Control Administration, IA
vors this move to make legal liquor
available at prices nearer those quoted
by Illicit dealers. The new Congress
may be called upon to settle this con-
troversy.
The period since repeal has answered
partially the questions as to what
prohibition did to Americas drinking
habits.
Native rye and bourbon whiskeys
withdrawn from warehouses for sale
from December l last year to August
u this year, totaled 22,o00,ooo gal
Ions. Gin amounted to 2.813.000 GAL
Ions and brandy to 973,000. Before
repeal some officials contended gin
had gained lasting upper hand.
Stocks of distilled spirits ageing
In bonded warehouses have been built
UP in year to more than $4,000, 900
gallons This is the basis for distillers'
predictions that prices on better liquor
will be lower in the near future.
Tax payments indicate that during
the past year 20, ,000, 900 gallons Of dis
titled spirits have been stretched" or
"rectified" by the addition of water.

church with his singing. The

Mr.. Durham says in fact:
There are many skilled and
semi-skilled Negro workers who
are eligible for assignment on
Civil Works projects. The Ad-
ministration draws no distinction
with respect to color of workers,
and I do not believe that the
governmental bodies to which
workers are assigned should do
so either.
There Is only one reason why
governmental body should re-
fuse a worker assigned to 1t for
Civil Works projects. and thai
is inefficiency. Until the worker
has demonstrated that he can
not perform the tasks assigned
to him. he should be kept or
the job. and this applies to al

traction"

OVER
WAGE SCALE TO
NEGRO WORKERS

WASHINGTON, d. c. Spe-

be allowed to discriminate in the
payment Of wages to Negro la
Dor. This was definitely decid-
ed by the civil works and relief
administration Saturday when
orders were given disbanding the
relief and civil works board set
up by the State Of Georgia and
placing all relief work In the
state under direct control Of the
national administration. The en-
tire relief and civil works adj
ministration In Georgia went
under a woman dictator. Miss

fare worker. Harry Hopkins, cl-
vii works and relief administra-
tor. announced the dissolution Of
the Georgia board appointed by
Governor Talmadge and said he
would direct the work from
Washington with Miss Shopper
son as his Georgia representa-
tive. Relations between the go-
vernon and Hopkins became ra-
Their strained when Talmadge
criticized an order from Hopkins
directing Negroes be paid the
same wage scale paid white la
Dor and stating no discrimina-
ton because Of race would be
permitted in the distribution of
relief. Complaints reached Hop
kins from Negro leaders in Geor-
gia that Negroes Of the state
were being treated unfairly by
the Talmadge board. They stat
ed qualified Negroes were refus-
ed clerical positions. Negro arti-
sans were forced to accept less
pay for their work than whites
and relief funds were being with
held. Investigators were sent to
Georgia and their reports sus-
tanned the complaint of the Ne
gro leaders.
Hopkins issued an order to
Talmadge that the Negroes be
accorded the same treatment as
whites and that they be paid the
same wage scale. Talmadge re-
piled that the wages were too
high for Negroes and that as a
result Negroes were being lured

NEGROES OWN
1906 FARMS
CENSUS SHOWS

WASHINGTON - (CNs) -
An analysis Of the Census fig
ures relating to Negro farm own
ers shows that the proportion Of
farm owners among Negroes
generally decreased in counties
having 1000 or more Negroes,
while sNegro farmers Of all other
tenures increased.
OF the 377.720 reported for the
104 counties with the greatest
number OF Negro farm operators
ct the census Of 1880. only a.
100 or liz per cent were own
ers. compared with POS percent
for Negro farmers in the United
States as a 7shole. In no county
with 5000 or more Negro farm
ers was the ownership among
them as high as 80 per cent; So
counties reported under 20 per
cent, and only Is repeated an
ownership OF 20 per cent or
more. Bolivar and Sunflower
Counties, Mississippi. led all
counties In the United States in
the total number Of farms oper-
ated by all racial classes. There
were more farms operated by Ne
groes In Bolivar County than the
total Of all farms in any other
county In the United States.
OF the 1905 farms owned by
Negro operators in 1880 In the
United States. 1885. or 76.7
per cent. were located in coun-
ties reporting less than 1000 Ne
gro farmers Of all tenures, that
seems to clearly indicate that
opportunities for ownership in
these counties are better than in
the agricultural areas having
the greatest number Of Negro
farmers.
