In Dry State Attacked

The United States Emergency
Court of Appeals has been called
upon to determine whether Office
of Price Administration ceiling prices
on liquor are valid in Mississippi, a
dry State, where the sale of liquor
is unlawful.
The tribunal is scheduled to hear
complaints on the issue next
Wednesday in Biloxi. Two COM
plants against the OPA have been
filed by Mississippi residents now
under indictment for allegedly SELL
ing liquor in Mississippi at above
ceiling prices. Both complaints con-
tend that liquor ceiling prices are
not valid in a State where 1t is
unlawful to sell liquor.
One Of the complainants, Thomas
L. Jack" Spiers, contends that the
maximum price must be the max
imum lawful price" and asserts in
effect that there can be no lawful
price because sale itself is unlawful.
The complainants in the other
-ase are listed as j. w. Barnett, ST.;
Mrs. J. w. Barnett, sr., and j. w.

Virginia Reports Decline
In Compensation Taxes
BY the Associated Press,


RICHMOND, Va, April 2.-The
annual report of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission delivered
to Gov. Darden over the week end
revealed decline of $1,743, 40
1880 per cent-in payroll taxes COL
lected during 1914 for unemploy-
ment compensation benefits.
The decline was attributed by
Commissioner John @. Rhodes to a
decrease in the number of covered
payrolls"-payrolls on which the
tax Is levied and to the fact that
employers continue to gravitate to
lower rates"
Notwithstanding the sharp decline
in collections, the trust fund from
which unemployment benefits are
paid showed a marked increase and
amounted to $57 $50, 1T at the end
Of the calendar year.
Mr.. Rhodes told the Governor
that "this increase, in spite of the
decline in payroll taxes, was due
in large part to the decrease in
benefit payments, which were the
lowest of any year since benefits
have been paid by the commission,
namely s324,215.48, a decrease of
62.48 per cent from 1943."
