Just tcO many of our friends seem to be confused about the present. day high price of alcoholic bever- ages. Somehow or other, as indi- cated by our mail, a considerable number of our citizenry wonder why bottle of whiskey is so ex- pensive these days. A lot of these folk, of course, have memories of the good old days. Quite a few of these inquiring minds wonder why there has not been an immediate reduction in the price of whiskey, now that our Government has per mitted distilleries to produce bev- craze spirits during the months of August 1914 and January 1945.
 So, we'll take this means of ad- vising those who are interested that just so long as the prodigious cost of conducting a global war continues, there is little likelihood of any reduction in the price of our products. When you buy a bottle of whiskey today you are paying a Federal tax and local tax. Of course, there is nothing new about high taxes in wartime. And since whiskey is luxury product, surely we have no quarrel and neither have you, with our Treasury's up- ping the excise tax to a point where it amounts to S9 q gallon.
 Now, here's a litt'e mental arith- metic problem for you: It takes three gallons of whisl1ey to make a case-twelve quarts. If you buy a case of one hundred proof whiskey (whiskey is taxed on a proof gallon, not on a wine galion), you are actually paying $27 excise tax on that single case or $2. .25 per bottle. If your whiskey is eighty-six proof, the tax is, of course, a little less, but don't stop figuring yet. Add your local taxes. At any rate, you now have a pretty fair idea of how much of the present price of a bot tie of whiskey goes for taxes.
 No, you have no other alternative. You can either forego the luxury of your whiskey or you can say to yourself, "Well, here goes an- other contribution to the war effort"
 And please continue to blame only that transfer" trio, Ratso, Fatso, and Japso-Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito.
 We said transient" didn't we? It won't be long nowl

Union warns. Anderson is charged with leading a move to eliminate the governments food subsidy pro- gram by next year. Such action would immediately increase the cost of food to consumers by a great deal more than $lH billion, the present cost of consumer food sub- sidies.
 More than that, the removal of subsidies would unquestionably set off a spiral of inflationary food price increases SO that the addi- tiOnal cost to consumers would probably be nearer to $5 billion a year-an increase in retail food prices of more than IS per cent. The Anderson plan would substi- tute higher prices for tue subsidies. The excuse given is that VI Day will bring on defationary trends that will adversely affect farm prices.

 "CentIemen:
 Que to the low salary we are now receiving it has been necessary for men with children to obtain second jobs and others have found it necessary for their wives to ob- tain work. Because of these condi- tiOns the men are unable to do justice to either job and it has led to low morale, and poor health to both employees and their wives and has produced numerous grievances.
 ''Thc following five grievances as proposed by the salary committee of Board of Education employees, Local 287, A. F. of L., are in dire need of immediate consideration and adjustment.
 "(1) That all appointed cus- tOdians' salaries be adjusted to the maximun under which they are now classified. A new maximum of $2OO.OO for each classification be set and paid in $1OO.OO increments yearly. The new minimum for ap. pointed custodians shall be $l,75O.
