r raA4 Fdkk BEER VOTE SOUGHT IN SENATE TODAY 8.2 Per Cent Bill, Including| Wine Clauses, Up for Speedy Action. (Continued From First Page.) nothing in the bill to prevent home | brewing of 3.2 beer. Beer Vote Sought. He said that the brewer's tax wnuld} apply only where beer was manufac- tured for sale. The attack on the bill was opened by Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of ‘Texas, author of the eighteenth amend- ment, who gave figurcs to show that 2 sums of money would be diverted from expenditure on other commodities by which feinilies have been improv- ing their homes and surroundings under prohibition. He declared that for every employe put to work in the brewing industry one would be discharged in these otrer industries. Discussiag the economic ccost of the return of beér, Senator Sheppard said i it was shown during recent hearings; that it would require two vears and | an espenditure of $360.000.000 to re- store the brewing industry to half what it was before prohibition. Cites Revenue Estimates. Alter pointing oul that the tax of | $5 per barrel would mean that $200,- 000,000 a year for revenue for the first two years and a larger amount later on, Senator Sheppard quoted brew Tepresentatives as estimating that the | beer would sell retail at a rate equal| to $20 a barrel, or an outlay of the! people of $800,000.000 a year for the | first two years. Senator Sheppard said | the statement that $360.000.000 would be needed to restore the brewing in- dustry at the outset destroys the argu- | ment that this bill merely transfers to a legal status an industry already | existing.

Berghoff of Fort “Beer and light wine gradually, but zurely establish the liquor habit,” Sen- | ator Sheppard continued. ‘““The liquori curse which started the movement for » national prohibition was primarily a beer curse.” Senator Sheppard said surveys made during the war period showed that the beer being sold before prohibition aver- aged less than 3'; per cent by weight, “or only three-tenths of 1 per cent! more than this bill will authorize, al- though the eighteenth amendment still | s in effect.” Heferring to the method of selling | the beer, Senator Sheppard said: “You may call the place where it is sold a “=g store, a soft drink stand or a sgiing station. but it will inevitably be- eome the counterpart of the old-time saloon.” Sheppard Cites Ruling. Senator Sheppard said the Supreme ! Court of the United States had sus- tained the definition of Congress for non-intoxicating beverages, fixing the alcoholic content at not more than one- half of 1 per cent. He said that all attempts by lawyers representing wet interests to shake the right of Con- gress to define intoxicating beverages had been in vain. Non-intoxicating, he said, means non-poisonous. “Alcohol,” said Senator Sheppard, “is a poison. It sets up a toxic con- dition and mey produce evil effects on human beings without bringing about a state of drunkenness.” He insisted that drinkers of alcohol. without becoming actually drunk, could lose all the mental and moral stability on_which civilization depends. At this point Senator Long of Lou- isiana interrupted, asking if he could Tead a different definition of intoxica- | tion. “I know,” said Senator Sheppard, “a deflnition which the Senator wishes to read and I would prefer to have it come at the end of my remarks. But I do not object to his reading it.” This is what Senator Long read: “Not drunk is he who from the floor Can rise and drink once more But drunk is he who prostrate lies Upon the floor and cannot rise.” “That,” said Senator Long, “is from the North Carolina Law Review.” “Even law reviews can be humorous at times.” was the comment of Senator Sheppard. Senator Sheppard insisted that the 3.2 per cent beer would intoxicate chil- dren and demanded: “Is the Constitution oblivious to the children of the country?” Senator Sheppard, in replying to the argument that the proposed beer would be non-intoxicating, declared that “no ordinary non-intoxicating soft drink could stand a tax of $5 a barrel.” The Texas Senator then proceeded to outline the benefit the people have derived from prohibition. and declared that during prohibition there has been 8 decrease of 64 per cent in the amount of liquor consumed. Borah Joins Attack. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts had read to the Senate a telegram which insisted that the inclusion of wine in the beer bill was commendable and that & compounded wine of 3.2 alcoholic content is palatable. Senator Borah of Idaho, long an op- ponent of the proposed beer legislation, took up the attack on the bill. He said that so many important matters had been before Congress he had not been able to preparc adequately to discuss the beer bill in a loBical way. “I have had time, however,” said Senator Borah, “to read the bill and to learn that it authorizes the manu- facture and sale of 3.2 beer and that no provision is made to regulate the dis- tribution of beer and that it can be drunk on the premises where it is sold. “We have been told in connection with this legislation that we are acting under a mandate from the people. A ‘mandate permits a member of Congress to do something he would not do him- self. The question here is what is the mandate. The repeal of the eighteenth amendment was not the only mandate. There was a mandate quite as clear to prevent the return of the saloon and to protect the dry States. Points to Party Pledge. “No one can tell us what the man- date was more clearly than the dis- tinguished gentleman now in the White House. I only wish to recall what he said and what pledges he made during the campaign. He recalls, in the first place, that the Democratic plat- form declares for the repeal of the eigtheenth amendment, that it declares against the return of ‘the saloon, that it declares for the protection of the dry States and for the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages within the meaning of the Constitution. “In_the President’s message to Con- gress he sald that we should be bound by the Constitution. My pleasure upon reading this was so intense as to be almost painful. We are not to pass a bill which violates the Constitution. ‘That is the fault of the mandate I ‘wish fo stress today. “The Preisdent said during the cam- paign that the saloon must not return at any time or at any place. That is the controlling reason for my atti- tude toward this legislation. Not only is this proposed beverage intoxicating, but no provision is made in the bill against the return of the institution that has been condemned { stitutional and Gov. | Wayne ready for 10,000 cases daily.

Internal Revenue Bureau Prepares to Collect Beer Tax| Officials Silent on Print.| ing of Stamps, How- ever. The Bureau of Internal Revenue to- day was preparing to collect the new tax on beer. | Althouh officials declined to disclose details, it is known they are busy sct- ting up plans for gathering in the Fed- eral revenue expected to result from | the sale of beer under the bill, cnact- ment of which was expected today. | Stamps wil be used, it was under- | stood. as in the old days before prokibi- | tion, but officials would not discuss the nature of the stamps or when they will | be_printed. | Like all other Federal stamps, they | will be printed, of course, at the Bureau | of Engraving and Printing, but at the bureau there were-no indications as to what will be done about the new beer stamps or when they will be made. From sources outside the Govern- ment, it was learned, however, that seri- ous consideration has been given to the design of the new beer stamp, which in all probability will be quite different from those of long ago. HAT “TAX".:TO AID CITY NEW YORK, March 16 (#).—The | City of New York, eyeing varlous new | sources ot possible revenue, has de- cided there may be some profit in checking hats.

CLO On Account ot only by the President but by every nxhlt-f.h man and woman in the world.” Condemning the salogn as the “most hideous institution with which civilized society ever had to deal,” Senator Borah said the Ingenuity of man never has been able to design & statute to con- trol its lawlessness.

While sponsors of Washington's own beer legislation today took cteps to have Congress take speedy action, it appeared likely that consideration will be de- ferred at least until the national legls- lation is cut of the way. Senator Hartison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippl, in charge of the national beer bill as chairman of the Senate Finance ommittee, said he did not want to have the District beer bill attached to the national legislation because it involves regulaticns for distribution and sale locally and he feared it would compli- cate consideration of the national bill. Representative Palmisano, who intro- duced the District beer bill, announced he would press for earliest possible action in the House and proposed that an_executive sescion of the District Committee be held soon. He believes there will be no trouble in getting the hlll'};rumpt]y reported and acted upon | by the House. Plans Committee Session. | Meanwhile, Chairman Norton of the | House District Committee, directed that | & meeting ‘of the committee be held as | soon as the Republican members are appointed. Chairman Snell of the Re- publican Committee on Committees promised the list would be completed today. Speaker Rainey and House Leader | Byrns also promised to co-operate in | getting early action on the local bill, and other House leaders, including Rep- resentative McCormack of Massachu- setts have promised to help the District | | Committee. | Senator Robinson of Arkancas, Demo- cratic leader, said he had no personal objection to ‘consideratfon of the local beer bill along with the national legis- Iation, but, when informed of the atti- tude of Senator Harison, said he would follow the course favored by the latter Lusk Urges Decision. Speaker Rainey recetved a letter from Rufus S: Lusk of the Crusaders, em- phasizing the urgency for action on the District bill. “When the Cullen national beer bill becomes a law,” Mr. Lusk pointed out, “the status of the District of Columbia in regard to the sale of beer is uncer- tain. Some lawyers say it can be sold and others that it cannot. If the Sheppard bone dry act is still the law, beer cannot be sold in Washington un- | tl that act is repealed. A short delay in the sale of beer in Washington is of no great importance, but it is of the utmost importance that, when it is sold, its sale shall be strictly regulated. | “The Crusaders are primarily inter- ested in the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. It might be a serious blow to the cause of ratification if the unre- stricted sale of beer in the District ! were permiited.” ‘When the District Committee is called together, an explanation of the bill as summarized by Corporation Counsel | W. W. Bride, after conferences with | Chairman Norton, will be presented to | to the committee by Palmisano. Thi explanation is, in part, as follows: The District Commissioners would be authorized to issue licenses to persons, firms, corporations or associations for the sale of beverages within the District, and also would be authorized to employ | clerical and other assistance to inspect | and supervise the operation of licenses | under the act. | The bill would make it lawful for any | brewer or manufacturer to brew within | the District and sell to licensees any | beverage authorized by the laws of the | United States. A brewer would not be | permitted to sell to a consumer, but | must dispose of his products solely to the persons licensed under the act. | Standards Are Proposed. Certain standards are proposed which an applicant must meet before a license may be issued. The corporation counsel has suggested certain changes in the composition of | the bill which do not change either the language or purpase of the measure. | An applicant is entitled to a license | for only one place of business. If a man should own two of three restau- rants, he would be permitted to sell the | beverage defined in this act at only one | place. The applicant for a license must state | he will superintend in person the | management of the business licensed. | Inasmuch as corporations are entitled to licenses under this measure, an amendment is proposed that, in case the applicant Is & corporatton, the busi- | ness shall be under the supervision of a | designated person. Provide License Fees. The bill provides for the kind of li- censes that may be issued and fixes the license fees and the period for which the license shall be good, unless revoked by the Commissioners. “On sale” licenses, which permit the consumption of beverages on the prem- ises, are to be granted only to bona fide restaurants, incorporated clubs and ho- tels. The bill stipulates the manner in which beverages may be served and im- poses upon the Commisioners the duty to i t the premises. It gives the Commisisoners the right to revoke a license after the licensee has been given an opportunity to be heard in defense. There is, however, no expressed provi- slon for the revokation of an “off sale’ license. The ation counsel has advised Chairman Norton that such a provision should be added. ‘The section fiving the tax to be paid on beer also provides that “said tax shall be paid on or before the 15th day of each month, for beverages sold to or purc] preceding calendar month.” The cor- ration counsel has advised Mrs. Nor- on included, reading as follows: Tax of $1.20 Proposed. “There shall be levied and collected from each licensee by the District of | by the licensee during the | stead that a substitute section should be | this D. C, Applicants Rush To Get Back Into; Bartenders’ Union| Beverage Dispensers Re- vive Old Name Pre- paring for Beer. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 16.—Prohibition turned Bartenders’ Union No. 3 into the Beverage Dispensers’ Union, but the| organization now is returning to its old name, Fred Kohn, financial secretary. disclosed yesterday. “We never fould get used to the new | name,” he declared. *“Not us old timers, | anyway.” | In the old days there were 7,000 | unfon bartenders in metropolitan New | Zork and now fewer than 700 are pay- ing dues, but Kohn said there already is a rush to g2t back on the union's beer wagon. ‘The union bartender's wage is “$3 with meals, $35 without,” Kohn said, and whispered that speakeasy bar- tenders, who are not recognized by the union, draw as much as $75 a week. The union prescribes no specific | standards for bartenders, but Kohn| gave his idea of what the qualifications | should be: “He must be a good entertainer and a good salesman, and cleanliness comes first of all.

By the Associated Press LINDEN, Tex, March 16—Two backwoods preachers the father of Bernice Clayton, 3, were under indict- ment today for the “devil” slaying of the erippled child during weird religlous rites last December 19. - The three were Paul Oakley, self-styled “divine healer”; Coy Oakley, who described himself as his brether's “disciple,” and the father, Sherman Clayton. The Cass County grand jury was expected to make a formal return of its true bills against them in court today and it was likely they would be arraigred immediately. Should they plead not guilty to the | charges, District Attorney E. L. Lincoln said they probably would be called to trial within two weeks. ‘The 30-vear-cld father testified at his preliminary hearing he thought Paul Oakley was trying to cure his child, crippled by infantile paralysis. He told of praying in the room | where the ceremonies were being con- | ducted and said he did not realize his | daughter was being killed. | Paul Oakley testified that while he | had his hands on the child's throat a “devil” told him to choke her. by this act. a tax of $1.20 for every barrel containing not more than 31 gal- lons and a like rate for any other | quentity or fractional part.” | The bill prohibits the sale by retail | of the beverage without a license and | also prohibits a brewer, wholesaler or | distributor, from selling to any person | other than a licensee. ! The act would require a manufac- | turer of beverages outside the District, | before bringing such beverages into the | District, to obtain a permit from the | Commissioners upon an agreement from | such manufacturers that he will render | a monthly report. under oath. of thg quantity of beverages shipped into the District. Each licensee would be required to render a report on or before the tenth day of each month. showing the quan- tity of beverages purchased during the preceding calendar month. Licenses Segregated. Any brewer, manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor is prohibited from having any financial interest in the business of a licensee. All brewers. wholesalers or distrib- utors within the District would be re- quired to furnish to the assessor on or before the 10th day of each month a statement under oath showing the quantity of beverages sold during the preceding calendar month to licensees. ‘The Commissioners would be au- thorized to promulgate rules and regu- lations for the issuance of licenses and for the gperation of the licensees. Penalties are provided for violation. ‘The act also provides that “any licensee who shall sell or permit the sale of any alcoholic beverages not authorized under the terms of this act on his premises, or in connection with his business or otherwise, shall, upon con- viction, forfeit his license.” The Sheppard law of March 3, 1917, is specifically repealed, except two sec- tions. Those provide penalties for being drunk or intoxicated in a public place and for operating a street car or other vehicle while under the influence of liquor. “It has long been the view of this office” Corporation Counsel Bride told Chairman Norton, “that all other sections of the Sheppard ldw were repealed by implication when the Vol- act was . Such repeals, however, aré not favored and I am of the opinion that it is advisable that da}ecuonugen intluded in the pro- posed legislation.” Inasmuch as this bill provides for prosecution of violations by the United States attorney for the District, Chair- man Norton also is discussing the legis- Columbia on all beverages sold to or purchased by the licensee as authe Congratulations!
