in attempting to identify the
slayers of Max Dichter, 52-year-
old groO1e who was ia ally

groceryman turned to hand the
tobacco to them he faced a 80
caliber pistol. The store operator
said he then grabbed the porce-

it at the bandit, who fired three
shots point blank at him.

collecting the revenue-only $40.
$50.
These are q few of the small
items in the lengthy report, which
covers every State where liquor
sale is legal, Alabama and Kansas
still being credited to the dry
column in 1895.
More Than 1854 Millions
The exhibit Of tax receipts pre-.
Sented today by the Distilled
Spirits Institute is to show that
liquor makes a tremendous con-
tribution to Government upkeep."
Total Federal and State collections
were $864,927, 1856 in 1896.
The report follows the calendar
year and not the Governments
fiscal year. OF the total, the
Federal government received $6l2,-
581 900 and the States $252, 345.-
476. Complete local and munich
pal revenues, not being available,
are not reported. The institute
states its belief that these smaller
units would swell the total col
lections to the 1000 million dollar
mark.
Driving home the argument
that legal liquor is justifying its
claim to be q solid financial prop
to government at q time when
the tax problem is most vexing,
the institute says:
"A return to prohibition will
subtract these receipts from the
total government revenues and
necessitate larger increases In
some kind Of taxes to produce q
similar amount of revenue. Loss
Of the revenue which states now
obtain from alcoholic beverages
would be felt most severely in
the social welfare field. Al
though some states place repeal
revenues in the general fund, q
great many commonwealth de-
vote the money SO obtained
specifically to relief, unemplOy-
ment insurance, old age and
social security purposes"
BOOtIegging Worries
The Distilled Spirits Institute
places the value Of liquor taxes as
second only to the income taxes
as a source of Treasury income;
and yet the report claims a Z per
cent decrease in the total con-
of spirits in 1896 as con-
trasted with 1916, the last wet
year before wartime and national
prohibition. The 1915 consump-
ton was figured at two gallons q
person in the wet States; in 1886
it is given 22 one gallon.
However, the institute admits
and deplores continued bootleg
ging, which detracts from the Off
cial revenue. 1t expects more legal
drinking, more liquor sold and less
bootlegging this year. Bootleggers,
the report infers, take advantage
Of tax rates when the rates are
too high.
The drys come in for a slap from
the institute, which says:
"PrOhibitiOnistS, CuriOusly
) enough, frequently complain
that repeal has been o failure
because the promise Of q billion
dollars in revenue estimated be-
fore repeal has not been real
lied. On the one hand they
appear to be dissatisfied with
the ShOrtcOming in consumption
of alcoholic beverages, and ON
the other they view current In
creaSeS of consumption with
alarm. 1t is to be observed, how
ever, that we are within striking
distance of the biIIiOn-dOlIar
