TAX ON BEER MAY EXCEED ESTIMATE Mills’ Figures Were Based on 19 States, Whereas 26 By the Assoclated Press. Swift-moving legislative action by the States and reports of heavy consump- tion: over the country have given the administration renewed hope that Fed- eral beer revenues for the .year wm‘ outstrip the $125.000,000 estimate of | Ogden L. Mills, former Secretary c{ the Treas! Mills, app:aring bzfore the House Ways and Means Committee last year, figured on a basis of 16 States that cer- tainly would permit sale of beer and 9 others that he thought might legislate legality. Since then State Legislatures have acted so promptly that his figures have | been radically changed and the revenue ccunters are looking for a much larger consumption. with resultant benefits to Uncle Sem's coffers States Named by Mills. Mills named these 16 States as certain to permit the sale of beer:= Arizona, California. Maryland. Massa- chusetts, Michigan, Missouri. Montzna, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dak:ta, Oregon.

A half dozen more have taken steps toward legalization. These figures contrast with the situ- | aticn before prohibition. In 1920 only 14 States were without laws prohibiting such sales.

If. for one day, the Senators sat i the press gallery of the Senate, tak- ing notes while the press debated leg- islation on the Senate floor, much could be learned on both sides, think Senator Tydings of Maryland. This novel idea was propounded by the Senator who is sympathetic to his colleagues when they complain of the “power of the press” and also under- stands the strain under which the harried newspaper man works. He knows_that from the Senator’s point of view there is a helpless rage that comes from being misquoted or having an in- terpretation put on a speech, not in- tended by the speaker. He thinks the press does not always take into con- sideration that the position a Senator is in, of being a buffer for innumerable types of constituents, must somewhat affect his utterance in the chamber He knows the disadvantage of living in a glass house where every mistake THE NEW ell 1216-1220 F STREET HAVEN'T YOU MET PEACHBLOOM?

Also he can imagine the difficulty of hearing those legislators who talk con- fidentially on the floor and the weari- ness that comes from listening to hours of irrelative oratory in order to pick | out_the kernel of news. “I should like to see them do it.” he | said. “The Senators would have to think fast and write faster and the press would have to cope with parlia- mentary language.
