FACTS ABOUT LIQUOR.
Facts that Cannot Fall to be Read
af. With Interest.

We clip the following special from
the Lake Charles Press of October 3d:
Chicago, October 1.-By the de
crease of nearly a million dollars a
Ad- day in liquor production during July
Sat. and August this year from the produc
tion in the corresponding months in
in the last year, it is declared by Chas.
Jones, national chairman of the pro
h!bition party, that nearly $60,000,000
the had been saved for the people from
tock the liquor cofters. IMr. Jones said he
based his statement on otfficial figures
Isli, received from the internal revenue de
ion partiment at Washington.
"The riolrt shows," said Mr.
Jones. '"that there has been a decrease
rin of $,y.5 4'.;03 in the internal reve
een nue receipts from taxes o(, the liquor
last tllic during July and .,ugust of this
year, as compared with the corres
ren p ndtiing months of last year, and a
are decrease in the value of liquior pro
ith (iuction of f ,19.,770.70.
"l'"These litnies are the best proof
a that Iprohiblition does prohibit, which
aImany itiends of the liqutor interests
attmnipt to denty.
''"It ,impliv means that on the mnar

S"Froim July 1l, 190NS, to .Auust 31st
- there were 8!140 (plus) retail liquorr'th
1- dealers who went oulit of blusiness, as ral
is shown by the fact that the detrease in ;tia
Sthe, retail dealers' special tax o(f 25 all
II each was 224.2t;!9.07 du ltin that time. thi
d "Of the 8,00()0,000 odd which has tler
P been saved the public only a coiipara- so
ie ti\Ce sinlall portion would have gone to cet
ti. ncle Sa u fronm the brewer and dis- ret
I tillerT as revenue tax. fr':
"It is most significant that the big- fr'e
ger decrease is in the production of fro
beer and revenue receipts from it. Of wi
the $58, 198,770.70 drop in liquor pro- ok<
11 duction, $21,,85,862.50 represents the \Vel
whiskey production decrease is much ha'
greater, reaeching $36,612,908.20. sor
"This bigger decrease in beer than the
whiskey production is an entirely new Ma
record for the brewer, and is addi- pla
tionally remarkable in occurring dur.
ing the months when more beer usual
ly is consumed.
"In July and August, a year ago, yot
$13,558,640.89 in revenue tax, at $1.00 equ
a barrel, was paid on the beer pro
duced in the United States, while this The
year in those two months the revenue
receipts from the same source only G
reached $11,727,995.48. Thetotal reve- has
nue receipts on whiskey equalled $20,- anc
083,316.14, while in the latter they fell cent
to $16,221,057.81, while beer is taxed sam
at $1.00 a barrel, the tax on whiskey stra
averages $1.10 on the gallon. The abo
barrel of beer sells for $20 and the one
gallon of whiskey for $6.25 on the hou
average. It is on that basis that the
difference in the production values are
figured." 14-ti
LETTER TO ARMSTRONG MACHINE CO., -
Welsh, La.
Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes; it teaches a few A
some things; it's a mighty slow school
though, that same experience.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise; they are wasting half
their money and fuss. They're so
sure they are wise, they die as they
live, paint-foolish. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint o
by the gallon, and go by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
high, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don't they
pay low ? They know that milk isn't
dear or cheap by the price of a quart;
that the milk has something to do
with it. They don't buy "cheap"
milk; but they buy "cheap" paint and
pay double. Experience teaches them
nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago lead-and-oil; exhausted *
that. Then tried something else; it Wi
was better or worse. Then Devoe: it
cost about half and wore twice as
long. That's how experience teaches
some of us.
