Having been told by the President the very worst to be expected in Federal fiscal affairs, it is possible to discover a number of encouraging factors that modify the picture substantially. The liquor tax, recently enacted by Congress and signed by the President, promises more than $500,000,000 of revenue a year. The tax rates are considerable, but not so great as to handicap the liquor ‘trade unduly or ‘When You Buy Your Automatic Oil Heat Be SURE! 3/011 do business with a DEPENDABLLE Capable Dealer Maybe the distillers are afraid if they put the recipe on the bottle folks'll try to make the stuff at home.—(Ohio State Journal) An old timer is one who can remember when about all the abbreviations he had to know were B.
