LOWER BEER
TAX NEEDED

Toledoans who have been driving
into Michigan and bringing home a
case of beer have only one reason
That is the lower price. Toledo brew
cries make good beer. They are put
at unfair advantage. For instance,
while Michigan has fiat state beer
tax of $1.25, Ohio has been taxing
beer at the rate of $3.50 a barrel for
draft 3.2 per cent beer and $3.50 a
barrel for high-power beer.
There is very little 3.2 beer being
consumed. This in spite of the fact
the customer for high power beer is
being penalized for his more exclu-
sive tastes. If the Ohio legislature.
which must pass a new beer tax law
because of the discovery the old law
unknowingly was repealed last De-
cember, will bring Ohio's tax on beer
to conform with that in effect in the
neighboring state, the effect doubt
less will be to increase revenues and
do away with the temptation to snug
gle Michigan beer into this state.
The policy of the state should be
to encourage temperance and this is
more nearly attainable if the price of
a glass of good beer is low enough to
give the poor man low-priced al
tentative to hard liquor.
We find that Ohio's sales tax on
bottled beer is even more out of pro-
portion to the charge in Michigan,
and this is bad because it makes beer
out of reach of the average home.
The legislature ought to look at
the beer tax realistically and not with
an eye to piling on all the load the
business will bear.
Breweries still are collecting the
old beer tax as a matter of policy.
But they cannot very well continue
indefinitely to do this. The legislature
should get at this new measure i'm
mediately. And it should apply tax
that isn't a gouge. From the Toledo
News Bee.

Labor Conference that workers
throughout the world will revolt some

May Apple, or Mandrake
Legends of Roman Origin

Because the May apple also is
called mandrake, the Old world
legends about mandrakes are oft
en- associated with it. These leg
ends go back to Roman times
when the mandrake root was con-
sidered a good luck charm. Old
books, states writer in the De-
troit Free Press, contain very
specific directions for digging up
the roots of the mandrake so that
maximum of good luck may be
derived from it. One of these old
accounts reads:
''Tie dog to the plant while it
is being dug. When it is being
dug, the dog will give great
shrek, for if man should dig the
plant alone, he will die in short
space after"
At one time Englishmen provid-
ed a good market for mandrake
roots. People who sold them pre-
tended that these roots had the
power of increasing whatever
money was placed near them. Sell
lers claimed that the roots grew
nowhere else but in China and
were brought to England with
great risk and danger. As a mat
ter of fact, the mandrakes were
growing right in England's own
fields.
